Franklin Park Pediatrics is located in Toledo, OH, and our pediatricians serve the Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan area.
The first check-up should typically occur 2 to 7 days after your baby is born. Following this, preventative well-visits are recommended at these ages:
* 1 month
* 2 months
* 4 months
* 6 months
* 9 months
* 1 year
* 15 months
* 18 months
* 2 years
* 2 -1/2 years
* 3 years
* 4 years
* Then annually
In your baby's first year, you’ll notice many changes each month. During well-baby visits, our pediatricians will monitor their growth and development and address any questions you have about feeding, sleep, and immunizations.
