2 Year Visit

November 02,2022

At Peninsula Pediatrics, we don’t just help your children when they’re sick; we help them, and your whole family, stay well all the time.

Welcome to toddlerhood! Your little one is likely a bundle of energy with tons of curiosity but sense of their own limitations! This makes for a fun and challenging time period. Your little one requires near constant attention to make sure they are safe. They will start to say a few words and for the foreseeable future, their understanding will far exceed their spoken language. Your little one can likely follow simple commands.

Pre-visit Questionnaire

Before your visit, you will receive a link to the following questionnaires 

PEDS-DM: This questionnaire is a standardized developmental screening that you will receive at all your little one’s well visits from ages 5 weeks to 5 years.

MCHAT

At this visit you should expect your child to

  • Have their weight, length, and head circumference measured
  • Have a complete physical exam
  • Have their vision checked using an instrument based screening tool (Read more about how this works and why it is important) 
  • Have a finger prick to check for anemia and lead levels.

What vaccines or screening tests should I expect at this visit

The second and final Hepatitis A is given.

Vaccine Reactions

This is a well tolerated vaccine with little to no side effects. 

When is my little one’s next visit?

The next visit is in 6 months when your little one is 2.5 years old.
