WELLNESS CHILD VISITS
When it comes to the general health and wellbeing of your child, Dr Mason takes extra care when seeing her little patients. Dr Mason provides care for both premature babies and those born at term, checking them, head to tiny toes.
Once discharged after the birth, you will see Dr Mason for your neonatal and newborn visits. Thereafter, baby wellness checks will be done at 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 4 months, 8 months, 12 months, 18 months. Thereafter wellness check-ups can be done annually or when need be. During these visits, Dr Mason will ensure your baby's wellness by doing a comprehensive assessment of growth, weight gain and development. To en-sure nothing is missed, Dr Mason will ask about your little one's habits, feeding problems, bowel movements, sleep patterns and skin problems at each of these visits.
She will focus on everything from skin rashes, tonsillitis and teething to allergies, colic and nutrition issues will be discussed, and should anything need special attention your paediatrician can assist. Your little one will be measured and weighed at each visit so that she can plot your child's growth on the growth chart. Neurodevelopment is evaluated, and specific behavioural and developmental milestones are assessed during these visits. As parents, you will also be given immunisation advice for prevention of infectious diseases and will be counselled should any chronic or acute health issues become apparent.
Your paediatrician will also screen for various dental, hearing and vision-related is-sues, heart diseases, allergies, errors of metabolism, common dermatological conditions, and provide a nutritional assessment.
Beyond a comprehensive assessment of your child, these visits are focused on parental education, ensuring parents know what is to be expected in the next few weeks or months in terms of growth, sleep, diet, habits, developmental stages and even discipline wise. You are encouraged to ask questions and discuss your concerns with your paediatrician during these visits.
