1 to 12 months

Infant

A whole first year of firsts.

Between one month and the first birthday, your baby will roll, sit, babble, taste first foods, and change almost weekly. Well visits are spaced to follow that pace, so we can catch questions early and celebrate the milestones with you.

Each visit pairs a growth and development check with the routine immunizations that give your baby the strongest start.

What to expect at this stage

Common questions from parents

When do we start solid foods?
Most babies are ready around six months, when they can sit with support and show interest in food. We will talk through the signs at your visit.
Are the immunizations given all at once?
Vaccines are grouped to match the visit schedule so your baby is protected as early as possible. We are always glad to walk through the timing with you.
How do I introduce allergens?
Current guidance is to introduce common allergens like peanut and egg early and often, once solids are underway. We give you a simple plan at the six-month visit.
