How Often Should Established Patients Visit the Pediatrician?
The frequency of visits for established patients can vary based on age, underlying medical conditions, and overall health. Generally, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends well-child visits at regular intervals:
Infants: Frequent visits during the first year, typically at 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. Toddlers: Visits at 15, 18, and 24 months, and then annually. Children and Adolescents: Annual check-ups.
These visits help in monitoring growth, development, and ensuring timely vaccinations.
