Schedule of Visits

Well child visits are an important opportunity to monitor your child’s health and growth, address any concerns or medical problems and to provide necessary preventative care, such as immunizations and anticipatory guidance to your family.

There are frequent well child visits in the first two years of your child’s life due to the rapid growth and development that occurs over that time period.

If you are delivering at Evanston Hospital, we will come to the hospital to visit you and examine your baby there. Upon discharge, your doctor will recommend the timing for your first office visit. This is usually a few days after going home. If you are delivering at another hospital there will be an appointed pediatrician that will examine your baby and advise you on follow-up upon your discharge.

The subsequent well visits occur at:
1 month old
2 months old
4 months old
6 months old
9 months old
12 months old
15 months old
18 months old
24 months old

Following that we strongly recommend scheduling an annual well visit with your primary pediatrician to monitor growth and development.
