Welcome to your child’s 15-month well-baby visit! This is an exciting time as your little one continues to grow and develop new skills. During this appointment, you can expect a thorough physical examination, a review of developmental milestones, and some important vaccinations.
The Physical Check-Up
Your pediatrician will conduct a complete physical examination, which will also include a dental assessment. If your child hasn’t already cut their first molars, they might be on the brink of doing so soon—get ready for some teething fun!
Developmental Milestones
At this age, toddlers are often beginning to take their first wobbly steps or even running around! Each child grows at their own pace. Some may excel socially, others might be more physically active, while some seem to understand everything but are still working on expressing themselves verbally. Here are some skills your doctor might evaluate during this visit: walking, kicking a ball, saying a few more words, and following simple directions (even if they don’t always comply).
