Well-baby checkups: What are they for?

Paul Veldhouse, Pediatrician Aug 26, 2021

Why do babies go to the doctor when they aren’t actually sick? Paul Veldhouse, MD, a pediatrician from our Forest View Pediatrics primary care office, tells us what really happens during a well-baby visit and why they’re so important. From learning more about your baby’s development, to getting advice on feeding and sleep, to making sure Mom is getting what she needs, well-baby visits are about more than shots and growth charts. Find out more in this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent!
