What to Expect from Your Baby's Wellness Check-Up

Parenthood is an exciting step in your life, but it can also be a little scary. While there are many how-to guides and tips for a healthy pregnancy, it may not always be so clear what to do after your new baby arrives.

At AGC Pediatrics in Calhoun and Cartersville, Georgia, we provide faith-based pediatric healthcare services for newborns and young adults through age 21. In our North Georgia offices, our board-certified pediatricians work closely with parents and newborns to ensure the healthy growth and development of each child. 

Newborn Wellness Check-Up Schedule

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies receive at least 6 wellness check-ups throughout their first year. During these check-ups, the board-certified pediatricians at AGC Pediatrics record basic growth information, such as body weight, body length, and circumference of the head, and place your baby in a growth percentile. Though this percentile provides information on how your baby measures up to others of his or her age, it’s important to note that this number does not indicate your child’s overall health.

Our pediatricians check your baby’s overall health through basic tests, such as:

·         Testing the health of the heart and lungs through a stethoscope
·         Examining the eyes, ears, and mouth for signs of infection or discharge
·         Checking your baby’s muscles and reflexes
·         Inspecting your child’s skin, head, and belly

The pediatricians also ask certain questions about your child’s health, often concerning his or her eating schedule, sleeping schedule, and regular activities.

During your baby’s wellness check-up, our pediatricians welcome any questions or concerns you may have about your child’s health. Many parents often find it useful to record these questions, thoughts, or concerns in a notebook to bring into your baby’s next visit. 

Visit AGC Pediatrics for Your Baby's Wellness Check-Up

We invite new parents-to-be as well as newborns to visit with our pediatricians, nurses, and clinical staff to discover our  pediatric healthcare. Learn more about the faith-based practice at AGC Pediatrics by calling (706) 625-5900 or visit us online to schedule your appointment today.
