Your baby will need a series of immunizations to protect them from various infectious diseases. The specific schedule will vary depending on your location and the recommendations of your pediatrician. However, some common childhood immunizations include:

  • Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP): Protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
  • Polio: Protects against polio.
  • Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR): Protects against measles, mumps, and rubella.
  • Hib: Protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection.
  • Hepatitis B: Protects against hepatitis B infection.
  • Varicella: Protects against chickenpox.
  • Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV): Protects against pneumococcal infections.
  • Rotavirus: Protects against rotavirus infection.

It’s important to follow the recommended immunization schedule and consult with your pediatrician for any questions or concerns.

The recommended age to start introducing solid foods to your baby is between 4 and 6 months. However, it’s important to wait until your baby is ready and showing signs of readiness, such as:

  • Sitting up with support
  • Losing the tongue-thrust reflex
  • Showing interest in food

When you start introducing solids, start with single-ingredient foods and introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for any allergies or intolerances.

You should call the pediatrician if your baby:

  • Has a fever
  • Is vomiting or has diarrhea
  • Is not feeding well
  • Is not urinating or having fewer wet diapers than usual
  • Is irritable or lethargic
  • Has a rash or other unusual symptoms

It’s also a good idea to call the pediatrician if you have any concerns about your baby’s health or development.

Well-child check-ups are typically scheduled: within the first week after birth, at 1, 2, 4-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months during infancy, every 3-6 months during toddler years, and annually from age 3 onwards. These visits monitor growth, development, and vaccinations.
