When should my newborn have the first pediatric check-up?
Newborns should ideally have their first pediatric check-up within the first few days after discharge from the hospital. Early visits help monitor feeding, weight gain, jaundice, and overall newborn health.
What vaccines does my child need in the first year?
During the first year, babies receive several important vaccines such as BCG, Hepatitis B, Polio, DPT, Hib, Rotavirus, and Pneumococcal vaccines. At our clinic, we follow the immunization schedule recommended by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP).
What should I do if my baby has fever?
If your baby develops a fever, monitor the temperature and ensure the baby is feeding well and active. If the fever persists, the baby appears lethargic, or the temperature is high, it is important to consult a pediatrician immediately.
How often should my child visit a pediatrician?
Children should have regular health check-ups to monitor growth, development, and vaccinations. In infancy, visits are usually more frequent, and later they may be scheduled every few months or during vaccinations.
What are warning signs in newborns that parents should watch for?
Parents should seek medical help if a newborn has difficulty breathing, poor feeding, persistent vomiting, fever, extreme sleepiness, bluish skin color, or reduced activity.
When should I worry about my child’s growth or weight?
If a child is not gaining weight properly, appears unusually small for their age, or is missing developmental milestones, it is important to consult a pediatrician for evaluation and growth monitoring.
What foods should I introduce during early weaning?
Weaning usually begins around 6 months of age. Parents can start with soft foods such as mashed fruits, vegetables, rice cereal, and pureed foods while continuing breastfeeding or formula feeding.
