The frequency of monitoring depends on the child's age and specific health needs. Generally, pediatricians recommend:
Newborns: Several visits within the first year, often at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. Toddlers: Regular visits at 15, 18, 24, and 30 months. Preschoolers: Annual check-ups starting at age 3. School-aged children and adolescents: Yearly visits to monitor ongoing development and address any concerns.
