How Often Should Pediatric Appointments Be Scheduled?
Pediatric appointment schedules vary by age. Newborns usually have their first visit within a week of birth, followed by frequent check-ups during the first year. After the initial year, visits typically occur at 15, 18, 24, and 30 months. From ages 3 to 21, annual check-ups are recommended. However, additional visits may be necessary if the child is experiencing health issues or requires follow-up care.
