Go to each visit.: Dr's offices are safe. They are making a consistent effort to sanitize everything frequently and keep sick patients out of their waiting rooms/offices as much as possible. Well Child Checks are very important to identifying any problems early and preventing disease through vaccination. They can also be a helpful source of parenting health tips and a forum for any questions you may have.

COVID and well visit: It is important to keep your well visit appointments, especially in the first year. Be sure your baby gets all required immunizations! You may feel better if you ask in advance what precautions your doctor has in place, whether they are grouping well visits and whether they have room to keep patients separated by time or space in the waiting room. Ideally wait in the car if you can.
