One way to keep babies healthy is to make sure they get regular check-ups.
Check-ups can help find and prevent problems.
Since babies grow and change rapidly it’s important for them to have check-ups at the following ages:

2 to 5 days

1 month

2 months

4 months

6 months
 9 months
 12 months
 15 months
 18 months
 24 months
When you take your baby for a check-up, the doctor will:

Take physical measurements

Check your baby’s health, growth and development

Make sure your baby is up to date on screening tests and immunizations (see immunization schedule on back)

Answer your questions and give you information to keep your baby safe and healthy

Tell you when to schedule another check-up
If you need help finding a doctor, just go to your health plan website. Next, click on Find a doctor. Or call the number on your ID card. To learn more about keeping your baby healthy, go to www.intelihealth.com/your-health/childrens-health_a .
