How often do I need to visit a pediatrician?

To keep track of all the changes and identify possible disorders in time, scheduled examinations should not be done less often than once a month. Later on pediatrician’s consultation is advised at the age of 1,5; 2 and 3 years. After that – if necessary.
What does the pediatric examination include?
At the appointment, the pediatrician will pay attention to both the child and the parents. Doctor will ask about the course of pregnancy and birth, development in the first months of child’s life, question the anamnesis details (life history): if the child was ill, what was the illness, if there have ever been allergic reactions, has child visited other specialists, have there ever been surgeries. The doctor will also ask the parents about their health, diseases that can be tracked through the family history. The pediatrician will meticulously examine the child, measure the main parameters (height, body weight, arterial pressure, pulse and breathing frequency), auscultate (listen to) the lungs and heart, palpate (feel) the abdomen, check the ears. The doctor will definitely enquire into the mental and motor development of the child.
