Well-child exams are necessary to keep a track of the growth and development of the child and to diagnose any health issues at the earliest. Each well-child visit includes a complete physical checkup of the baby and some checkups also include screening tests for hearing, vision, etc. The pediatrician also records important information like height, weight, etc. of the baby and monitors growth over a period of time.

Moreover, it is also beneficial for parents as they can get more information about the health of the child and clear any doubts or misconceptions they have. Parents can get to know if the child is reaching developmental milestones or not, and if any special care is required. Parents can also know more about general topics like what to feed the child, sleeping patterns, risk of infections, etc.
