🩺 WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE EXAM:
The nurse will measure your baby's weight, length, and head circumference. The pediatrician will perform a complete physical examination including:

Eyes, ears, nose, and mouth examination
Listening to heart and lungs
Umbilical cord healing assessment

Don't worry if your baby lost weight since birth. It is normal for newborns to lose up to 10% of birth weight. Most babies regain this by their two-week checkup.
🍼 FEEDING SUPPORT:
A big part of the first visit focuses on feeding. Whether you are breastfeeding or formula feeding, we help with latch issues, positioning, formula selection, and making sure your baby gets proper nutrition.
🛡️ SAFETY TOPICS:
The pediatrician will discuss safe sleep practices, proper car seat use, umbilical cord care, and when to call the doctor if your baby has a fever.
💉 VACCINATIONS:
If your baby did not receive the Hepatitis B vaccine at the hospital, they will receive it at this visit. Other vaccines begin at two months old.
📅 FIRST YEAR VISIT SCHEDULE:
After the first visit, your baby needs checkups at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.
