Well checkups
Your child will need wellness checkups at ages 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years.
During these checkups, your health care provider will assess your child's physical and emotional development, give guidance and immunizations (shots), and do any needed tests.
This is also a great time to talk with your health care provider about concerns or questions you have about your child's development (physical, mental or social).
To schedule a checkup,
call your clinic.

If your child does not reach a certain milestone for her age, don't worry. Your health care provider can help you recognize signs if you think your child may have a developmental delay.
Warning
Your child may be at risk for lead poisoning if you live in or regularly visit an old house that has chipped or peeling paint. Talk with your health care provider about lead tests if:
- you live in or visit a house built before 1950
- you live in or visit a house built before 1978 that has current or planned renovation/remodeling
- another child in that house was treated or followed for lead poisoning.
