What Should You Expect from Your 12 Month Doctor’s Visit?

According to the State of Michigan’s guidelines for well-child visits, at a 12-month visit you should expect:

• an immunization review
• a parent interview
• measurements of your child’s height, weight, and head size
• vision and hearing screenings
• assessment of development, and if problems are detected, further tests of your child’s emotional, physical, social and learning development
• dental inspection
• physical exam, with your child completely undressed.
