Information About Infant and Toddler Health

Infant and toddler health deals with health issues relevant to children of the infant and toddler age range. Well-baby visits are important to every baby's health. A newborn usually needs to be seen by a health care provider every few months. As children reach their first birthday, most do not need to go as often. Babies will get their recommended immunizations during these visits. Routine exams and screenings help parents and children prevent and treat health problems as well as chart their growth and development.
