Well Child Visits
Preventive Care Promotes Healthy Growth & Development
To keep your children healthy, it is important to bring them in for regular checkups. Please call the office several weeks or few months in advance so you may choose the date that best fits your needs. We follow the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics for periodic well child visits to monitor the growth and development of your child.
Our Providers perform a complete history and physical exam including feeding, nutrition, and developmental assessment with anticipatory guidance.
Beginning at age three, we include vision, hearing, and blood pressure screening if possible. We follow the guidelines of the AAP pertaining to the administration of childhood vaccinations.
Immunizations are important not only for your child's health, but for the health of other children, and the community. We understand parents’ concerns regarding vaccines and are willing to discuss concerns and answer questions about vaccines at any well child visit.
Flanders Pediatrics is a trusted partner of Reach Out and Read. A wonderful program that provides a free book to each child 6 months to 5 years old, during their Well Child Visit. Reach Out and Read integrates reading into pediatric practices, advising families about the importance of reading with their children, and sharing books that serve as a catalyst for healthy childhood developement.

The 2 Week Visit (sooner if you have concerns!) is a time to talk about how your family is acclimating to the newest addition. Feeding, bowel habits and sleeping are common topics.

By 2 weeks of age, your baby will likely have regained his or her birth weight.

As always, we are here to answer questions and offer anticipatory guidance.

Many babies seem more fussy or colicky at this age. Be patient. Colicky babies eventually outgrow their crying phase. Keeping your baby safe is the most important thing you can do. Even if you feel frustrated, handle your baby gently and reach out for help to friends, relatives or your pediatrician if the crying is getting to be too much. If you need a break and no one is available to help you, place your baby on his/her back gently in a safe space, such as a crib or bassinet and take a few minutes to calm down.

At this age, your baby can transition from breast milk or formula to cow’s milk. However, it is healthy to continue breast milk, if that is what you prefer, for your baby. Most babies need 3 meals, 2-3 snacks per day, and no more than 16-20 ounces of whole cow's milk per day. Your baby will be able to eat many of the foods you eat, but be careful to avoid small, hard foods that can cause choking.
It is time to wean your child from the bottle and offer all liquids in a sippy cup. It is much easier to wean your child now than if you wait until they are older. Avoid cavities and additional tears and make the change now!
