Record Well Child Care Visits
Your child should get "well baby" or "well child" visits
with their health care providers at specific times during infancy,
childhood and the teen years. Such visits allow your health care
provider to prevent, diagnose and treat health problems as they come
up. This section will help you keep track of your well child care
visits along with thoughts and questions you may have. |
