Baby’s Three Month Visit to MVP: What to Expect
What Happens at the Visit:
When you arrive, one of our Medical Assistants will bring you into an exam room and start with a history, including details about feeding, peeing, and pooping.
You’ll then undress your baby so we can:
- Check weight
- Measure length and head circumference
Meeting with your Provider:
After the initial measurements, your provider will join you in the room. During this time, we will:
- Discuss your baby’s feeding, behavior, and development
- Perform a complete physical exam
- Answer all of your questions
Developmental Milestones:
- Motor: holds head up when on tummy, brings hand to mouth, swipes at dangling objects
- Language: starts to babble, begins to imitate some sounds
- Social: smiles, enjoys playing with people and may cry when playing stops, imitates some facial expressions
- Hearing: turns head toward direction of sound
- Visual: follows moving objects, recognizes familiar objects at a distance
