After discharge from hospital, if your baby is a lusty healthy newborn and has no problem, you can take the baby back for check up at 1 and 2 weeks. But you should watch the baby closely in the meanwhile. If the baby’s eyes or skin appear yellowish you should consult your Pediatrician. You should also watch for any pus discharge or bleeding from the umbilicus. Keep a close watch on the warning signs which I have mentioned in chapter on “common problems of the newborns”.
Afterwards you can take the baby for check up and immunizations at 6, 10 and 14 weeks. During these visits  Pediatrician will also record baby’s weight, head size, length and monitor milestones of development.

You should again take the baby to Pediatrician at six months for check up, assessment of growth and developmental milestones, as well as to discuss weaning (introduction of semi solid and other complimentary foods).After this you go back at 9 months for measles immunization, routine check up ,growth and development assessment . Next you will go back at one year for a routine check up, growth and development assessment and any new vaccine that your baby’s Pediatrician would want to administer like Hepatitis A and Chicken Pox.
