When should you visit a paediatrician & neonatologist:

Pediatrician:

Newborn Care: Schedule your first visit within the first week after birth for a general check-up and to address any concerns.
Well-Baby Checkups: Regular checkups are recommended at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months, and then annually.
Vaccinations: Follow the recommended vaccination schedule. Your pediatrician will guide you on the necessary immunizations.
Growth and Development: If you notice delays or concerns in your child's growth or development, consult the pediatrician.
Sick Visits: Whenever your child is ill or experiences health issues, contact the pediatrician for guidance.


Neonatologist:

At Birth: Neonatologists are usually involved when a newborn requires specialized care due to premature birth, low birth weight, or medical complications.
NICU Stay: If your baby spends time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), you'll interact with neonatologists during this period.
Follow-up Care: In some cases, neonatologists may provide follow-up care to monitor and address issues related to a premature or medically fragile infant.
Remember to maintain open communication with your pediatrician and, if necessary, seek referrals to a neonatologist when dealing with specific neonatal health concerns. Your pediatrician will guide you on when to transition care to them from the neonatologist as your child grows.
