Pedemy All toolsTap your child’s next checkup. You will see what the doctor will check, which screenings and vaccines are usually due, and good questions to ask.
This tool shows parents what happens at each well-child checkup, from the 3–5 day newborn visit to age 21. Tap the next visit to see what the doctor checks, which screenings and tests are usually due, which vaccines are usually given, and good questions to ask.
The schedule follows the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures periodicity schedule: frequent visits in the first 3 years, then one visit a year. Screenings include developmental and autism screening, anemia and lead tests, vision, hearing, blood pressure, cholesterol and depression screening at the right ages.
Vaccines match Pedemy’s AAP-based vaccine schedule tool, which explains each vaccine and what it protects against.
The AAP recommends checkups at 3–5 days, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months, 30 months, and then every year from age 3 to 21.
The doctor checks growth and development, does a developmental screening and an autism screening questionnaire, may paint fluoride varnish on the teeth, and usually gives the second hepatitis A dose (and DTaP if not given at 15 months).
The AAP recommends autism screening with a questionnaire at the 18-month and 24-month checkups, plus general developmental screening at 9, 18 and 30 months.
