9th Month Baby Checkup

By GreatDad Writers

Print

Babies need to go to the doctor often, even when they are well. They get shots to keep them from catching diseases. They get a physical exam to see how they are growing. If a problem is found, your doctor will suggest what to do. Taking care of small problems now will often keep them from becoming big problems later.

Doctor visits are also a good time to learn more. Ask the doctor or nurse about such things as:

taking the baby’s temperature,
giving medicine or home remedies,
feeding milk and solid foods,
giving vitamins or other supplements,
putting the baby to sleep, and
following advice on baby care that others give you.
