Milestone Checklist

Ten check-ups can make a world of difference. During the first two years of your child's life, it's important to take your little one to the pediatrician for regular check-ups. To help you know what you should be looking for around each of these check-ups, we've put together a milestone checklist.

But according to National Academies of Science, medical care makes up only 10 to 20% of what contributes to healthy outcomes for a population .
