Unsure where to put this...
What do they do at well child visits? We're expecting our first in a few weeks.
I know they weigh and measure, and usually give shots (which we're delaying). Anything else?
Does there reach a point where there's just no real reason to go? If I'm confident the baby's growing normally and don't have any concerns and dont' plan to give shots...do I *need* to take them to well child visits?

They weigh, measure, give shots, and talk about which milestones have been hit and which ones should be coming up. They ask how they are sleeping and eating- often times giving unnecessary advice.
If you don't want to do those things, you don't NEED to go. I choose to go- just in case there might be something going on I'm not aware of and to have it documented I've been taking care of my kids. Also, I find those visits a great way to get to know the doc, so I'm more familiar with her if we do need to visit if there is an illness. I feel more like I know her and whether or not to trust her judgement in case of an illness.
If I only went for sick visits- I'd only see her a couple of times a year and I want to know my doc better than that.

Along with measurements and milestones, my DS’s doctor also checks his head, his hips, and listens to his heart and lungs.
