First Week Visit (3 to 5 Days)

Examination, Jaundice evaluation and discussion of feeding issues.

What to Expect

At each visit, your pediatrician will perform a thorough screening exam on your child to look for expected developmental milestones. He or she will ask questions and perform basic tests to eliminate any health concerns that can present at this age. 

We also include an overview of what you can look forward to at this age and in the coming weeks and months. This information sheet, called Bright Futures, can also be viewed online or printed. Click below to view this information.
