Children’s Well-Visit Schedule

Infants and young children need to see their doctors or nurses more often than 
older children and adults, especially when they are very young. It’s important to 
make sure that you have all the information you need to help your child grow and 
develop, and to catch any problems as early as possible. Children, teens, and 
young adults under the age of 21 should receive well visits according to the 
following schedule.

Ages 0-1 (Infancy)
Well visits at ages 1-2 weeks, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months.   

Ages 1-4 (Early Childhood)
Well visits at ages 15, 18, and 24 months, then at 3 and 4 years old.

Ages 5-21 (Middle Childhood, Adolescence, Young Adult)
Well visits annually (once every year).
