Pediatrician - #17157
I recently became a parent, and I’ve been learning a lot about taking care of my newborn. One thing I’ve been wondering about is the role of a pediatrician in my child’s health care. I’ve heard that pediatricians specialize in treating children from infancy through adolescence, but I’m still unsure about when I should schedule my baby’s first appointment and how often we should see the pediatrician as they grow. I’m also curious about what to expect during pediatric visits. What types of health screenings and vaccinations should I be aware of, and how can I make sure that I’m providing the best care for my child’s growth and development? I know that pediatricians monitor milestones like motor skills, speech, and cognitive development, but what else should I be looking out for as a new parent? Since I’m interested in holistic health, I’m wondering if there are any Ayurvedic practices that can support my baby’s health in addition to conventional medical care. For example, I’ve heard that massage and certain herbs can promote healthy digestion and immunity in infants, but I’m unsure about what’s safe to use during the early months of life. Has anyone here visited a pediatrician with their baby? What did you find most helpful during your child’s early check-ups, and did you incorporate any Ayurvedic practices to support your child’s health?
