IMPORTANCE OF BABY HEALTH CHECKS

We here in Orange Hospital Tirupati agree that the baby's first year of life is very crucial. We aim to make sure that your baby is Well and growing normally.

We are aware that every month brings changes: tiny smiles, budding teeth, and eventually, crawling and walking.

During a baby check, Our Paediatrician will check for proper growth and development of your Precious one and answer your questions about eating, sleeping, and vaccinations. Later visits typically happen at 2 weeks and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age.

During each visit, the doctor will measure your baby's weight, length, and head circumference.

The doctor will make sure that the fontanels (soft spots on your baby's head) are closing properly. He will also check your infant's eyes, ears, and mouth and listen to the heart and lungs. The doctor will then feel your baby's tummy and check the genital area. He will also look for rashes and jaundice and check the arms, legs, and hips.

While every parent loves a checkup that ends with a clean bill of health, these examinations are crucial to uncover problems, such as hernias, undescended testicles, or heart murmurs that require a specialist's attention.

Spotting health problems early may mean improved treatment. For example, "there's something called congenital hip dysplasia where the hip doesn't develop properly in the socket, and if you catch it early, it's something that is completely correctable."

Doctor also looks for developmental markers at each visit, such as the baby's ability to make eye contact, smile at you, or sit up without support.
We in Orange Hospital Tirupati offer transparency of your baby health check in a written personalised record that you can carry at all times without software issues to every nook and corner of the world.
