As part of our commitment to delivering high quality medical care, the staff at Center City Pediatrics believes that periodic well checkups during infancy, childhood and adolescence are essential. These visits are important to assess your child’s growth and development and to discuss all of the topics that contribute to a healthy childhood. Below you will find more information about what you can expect at your 1-month visit.
Center City Pediatrics is a vaccinating practice. We follow the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. At your child’s 1-month visit, they will likely be administered the Hepatitis B Vaccine. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has prepared a Hepatitis B Vaccine Information Statement you can review in advance of your visit for more information.
At the 1-month visit, the birth mother will also be asked to complete the Edinburgh screening tool.
There are a number of topics relevant to your child’s growth and development that your provider will discuss with you at this visit. You will find many of these highlighted on our Well Visit Guidelines page. Other emphasized topics discussed at this age include sleep positioning, car seat safety, and breastfeeding. You can also find a host of resources on our website, including safety and parenting tips.
We look forward to seeing you!
