Dr. Kamon's Well-Visit Forms and Questionnaires
For your Newborn Visit, 2 Week Visit, 1 Month Visit, 2 Month Visit, 4 Month Visit, and 6 Month Visit, please look over the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for ages 0-6 months. It is filled with valuable information to help you keep your child both safe and happy.
Remember: Make certain that your baby's car safety seat is installed correctly. Read and follow the instructions that come with the car safety seat and the sections in the owners' manual of your car. Use the car safety seat every time your child is in the car.
For your 6 Month Visit, your 9 Month Visit, and your 12 Month Visit, please look over the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for ages 6-12 months.
Remember: Use gates on stairways and doors. Install operable window guards on all windows above the first floor. Do not use a baby walker. If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall, call your doctor.
For your 12 Month Visit, 15 Month Visit, 18 Month Visit, and 2 Year Visit, please look over the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for ages 1-2 years.
Remember: Children in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves, their friends,or family members than of being injured by an intruder. Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored
For your 2 Year Visit, 3 Year Visit, and 4 Year Visit, please review the safety tips in the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for ages 2-4 years.
Remember: Keep safety caps on at all times or find nontoxic substances to use. If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth, call the Poison Help Line immediately. Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone.
For your 5 Year Visit, please review the safety tips in the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for 5-year-olds.
Remember: At age 5, your child is learning to do many things that can cause serious injury—bike, street, fire, car, firearm, and water safety are key. Even if your child knows how to swim, never let him or her swim alone.
For your 6 Year Visit, please review the safety tips in the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for 6-year-olds.
Remember: At age 6, children aren't good at judging sound, distance, or the speed of a moving car. Teach your children to stop at the curb and to never cross the street without a grown-up. Make sure your child wears a helmet every time he or she rides a bike.
For your 8 Year Visit, please review the safety tips in the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for 8-year-olds.
Remember: Your child should use a booster seat until the lap belt can be worn low and flat on the hips and the shoulder belt can be worn across the shoulder rather than the face/neck (usually at about 4'9" tall and between 8 and 12 years old). The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat.
For your 10 Year Visit, please review the safety tips in the American Academy of Pediatrics TIPP® sheet for 10-year-olds.
Remember: Ask your doctor which sports are right for your child's age. Be sure your child wears the protective equipment made for that sport, such as shin pads, mouth guards, wrist guards, eye protection, and helmets.
