Not at my office: I consider this visit very important and have the kid undressed & examine everything. To do less increases the chance you miss important issues. It is true a trained doc can pick up major things from several feet away, but I consider that poor practice.

Keep 6 wk appt: It is important to keep your baby's well appointments.If he/she did not have a 4 wk appt and/or the doctor had a concern at that visit and asked you to come in at 6wks, please do so.The infant should have a full exam,unclothed to be sure everything is normal.There may be times when the 6 wk visit is just a weight check follow-up from the 4wk and if the weight is good,the doctor may not do an exam.
