You can monitor....: ...His health every day yourself by noting how well he's eating/drinking/voiding/stooling/sleeping. If he's doing all of that well, he's likely healthy. Knowing this does not take away the need for regular exams by your pediatrician. Doctor's monitor more complex things, like growth, developmental milestones, immunity, and screenings for a variety of problems that may develop.

Growth & development: Are the best indicators of good health. The aap urges pediatricians to provide developmental surveillance with standardized screening tests & autism-specific screens @ 18 & 24 mos. (on firstsigns.Org). Customize aap's healthy child app for your baby (www. Aap.Org). Start an open-mouth cup now, for dietary changes at a year, also the age to see a pediodontist. Learn to manage toddler behaviors.
