Hello

At 2 months the doctor will check height and weight as well as starting giving vaccines.
A complete health check up, questions about feeding, sleep, development, home environment. Vaccines.
If you are referring to her 2-month well child check, your pediatrician will review all of her growth and development items since her last visit, ensuring that she is meeting all the expected milestones for her age, is gaining weight appropriately, as well as checking her length and her head circumference. Your physician should help you with breastfeeding, if
needed, and also check into YOUR mental health and possible symptoms of post-partum depression. 2 months of age is also the age at which the first set of recommended vaccines is usually administered. If there are no issues, the next checkup will be at 4 months.
