During the first year of a newborn's life, they typically have several well-child visits scheduled with a pediatrician. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends these visits usually occur within the first week after birth, then at 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months of age. We also like to see your child at 3 and 5 months of age.  These appointments allow the pediatrician to monitor the baby's growth, development, and overall health, provide vaccinations, and address any concerns or questions from the parents. Additionally, parents should contact their pediatrician if their newborn shows signs of illness or discomfort between scheduled visits. Regular communication with the pediatrician is essential for ensuring the baby's health and well-being.

Children typically continue seeing a pediatrician until their late teens or early twenties, at which point they transition to an adult healthcare provider. Pediatricians provide care from birth through adolescence, addressing the child's evolving healthcare needs. The transition usually occurs around ages 18 to 21, ensuring continuity of care into adulthood.
