Well-Child Visit: 1 Month

Medically reviewed by: Elana Pearl Ben-Joseph, MD

What to Expect During This Visit

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:

1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on a growth chart.

2. Ask questions, address any concerns, and offer advice about how your baby is:

Feeding. Infants should be fed when they seem hungry. At this age, breastfed babies will eat about 8–12 times in a 24-hour period. Formula-fed infants consume about 24 ounces a day. Burp your baby midway through feedings and at the end.
