well-baby checkup
Definition
- Physicians typically use well-baby checkups to monitor a child's growth and development, conduct necessary medical tests and interventions, and provide parents with anticipatory guidance. Thus, well-baby checkups are an invaluable means of promoting the health and development of infants and young children, although the events of each appointment may vary according to the child's age and issues unique to the child or family.
