    Study Notes

    Well-Child Visit Importance

    • Well-child visits provide comprehensive assessments and opportunities for further evaluation if abnormalities are detected.
    • They promote good health, allow family physicians to build relationships with parents, and provide anticipatory guidance to address potential concerns.

    Well-Child Visit Components

    • History: complete birth history, including prematurity, and feeding information.
    • Examination: head-to-toe examination, including growth assessments using CDC-recommended growth charts.
    • Immunizations: administer and update immunizations as appropriate.
    • Screenings: Conduct postpartum depression screening in mothers up to six months of age.

    Anticipatory Guidance

    • Safety: Emphasize safe sleep practices, secure home environment with gates, window locks, and anchored furniture.
    • Water Safety: Supervise children around water, including bathtubs, toilets, and swimming pools.
    • Car Safety: Use rear-facing car seats until two years of age or the weight/height limit is reached.
    • Fire Safety: Functioning smoke detectors and escape plans are crucial.
    • Choking Hazards: Supervise young children closely, as small objects, balloons, and loose strings pose choking risks.

    Dental Care

    • Fluoride: Ensure fluoride use, either through water supply or supplementation, to prevent tooth demineralization.
    • Juice: Avoid juice in infants under 12 months and limit sugary drinks for older children.
    • Weaning: Transition infants to a cup by 12 months of age.
    • Regular Dental Visits: Encourage regular dental visits and assess dental health during well-child visits.

    Screen Time

    • Young Children: Limit screen time for children under two years old; video chatting is acceptable for children under 18 months.
    • Older Children: Educational programs are acceptable for children ages 18-24 months. For children ages 2-5, limit screen time to one hour per day, avoiding use within one hour of bedtime.

    Sleep

    • Safe Sleep: Infants should sleep on their backs on a firm mattress with no blankets or soft objects.
    • SIDS Prevention: Breastfeeding, pacifier use, and room sharing without bed sharing reduce the risk of SIDS.

    Diet and Activity

    • Breastfeeding: Recommended until at least six months and ideally for the first year.
    • Vitamin D: Supplement exclusively breastfed infants with 400 IU of vitamin D daily for the first year.
    • Solid Food Introduction: Introduce solid foods at six months of age to reduce the risk of atopic disease.
    • Cow's Milk: Delay cow's milk introduction until 12 months to prevent iron deficiency.
    • Allergenic Foods: Introduce highly allergenic foods, such as peanut-based foods and eggs, before one year to lower allergy risks.
    • Obesity Prevention: Avoid juice before one year of age, and limit sugary drinks for older children. Encourage at least 60 minutes of active free play daily.
