When it comes time for your child’s first visit to a
pediatrician, take the following into consideration to
make sure the appointment goes smoothly. In
general, you should schedule your child’s first doctor
appointment within the first five days after coming
home from the hospital. You will need to bring a
number of items to this visit. In addition to your
baby’s hospital paperwork, bring essentials such as
blankets and pacifiers.

3. First Pediatrician Visit
 These items will help your baby remain calm and
comfortable during the checkup, which in turn will
make it easier for the pediatrician to more thoroughly
complete the exam.
If possible, also bring a chart detailing your child’s
daily bodily functions. The doctor will ask you
general questions about your nursing schedule,
diaper change frequency, and stool consistency, so it
is helpful to keep track of this information.
