Newborn Examinations
The health of your new baby is always the priority as it is essential to their wellness and growth. Pediatricians will evaluate the health of your baby, update you on your baby’s growth and provide you with a care plan for your baby's well being.
Regular Pediatrician Check-Up
Routine health checks are essential in making sure the baby is growing well and achieving age-appropriate developmental milestones. A physical examination includes measurement of height and weight, as well as motor, cognitive, speech and social skills. If the baby is not growing as expected, early intervention measures or programs will be incorporated to make sure that the right growth and well-being of the baby is achieved.
Immunizations
Immunizations are vital to protect your child from serious diseases, which can sometimes cause death. Routine vaccinations start when the baby is born. It is important to have vaccinations at the right age to keep the risks of your child getting diseases to a minimal level.
Nutritional Advice
Most children tend to become picky when food is introduced. This means that they will end up missing some important nutrients, which are important for their growth. Pediatricians will make sure that the kids get the recommended daily amount of nutrients and provide alternative nutrient sources to the parents in order to ensure the growth of the child is on the right track.

Pediatricians are well-versed in children's behavior and will be able to detect red flags immediately.
