A Systematic Approach to Well Child Care • Diet • Elimination • Sleep • Development • Home • School • Safety • Vaccines • Anticipatory Guidance
Well Child Care in the First Year • Hospital Follow-up • 2 weeks • 2 months • 4 months • 6 months • 9 months • 12 months Use the same systematic approach with every visit!
Hospital Follow-up • Diet • Breast feeding vs formula • Frequency of feeds – minimum q2-3 hrs, 15 minutes each side or 2-3 oz at every feed • Burping at the end of each feed • Check-in about breast feeding – is mom’s milk in?
