When to visit a Pediatrician?
Some questions come up again and again in the early years of parenting. Here are straightforward answers to the ones parents ask most, along with a reminder that these notes are general guidance and not a substitute for an actual consultation.
1. Is My Child's Growth on Track?
Every baby develops at a slightly different pace, but doctors track a general pattern to make sure growth is on course:
- Around 2 months: social smiling and beginning to follow faces or objects with the eyes.
- Around 4 to 6 months: holding the head steady, rolling over, and reaching for objects.
- Around 6 to 9 months: sitting without support, babbling, and starting to crawl.
- Around 12 months: pulling up to stand, taking first steps, and saying a few simple words.
These are averages, not deadlines — some babies reach a milestone a little early, others a little later. What matters is a steady overall pattern of progress. If your child seems to be falling noticeably behind on more than one milestone, it is worth getting a proper developmental check rather than waiting it out.
2. My Newborn Has a High Fever — What Should I Do?
Any fever in a baby under three months old — generally a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher — needs prompt medical attention. Newborns cannot fight infections the way older children can, so this is not something to manage at home. While arranging to see a doctor, keep the baby lightly dressed rather than heavily wrapped, continue normal feeding, and keep an eye out for other warning signs such as unusual drowsiness, poor feeding, breathing difficulty, or a rash. Avoid giving any medication to an infant without a doctor’s guidance, since dosing for babies is very different from that for adults or older children.
3. Infant Vaccination Schedule — What's Due and When?
Vaccination in India typically begins right at birth with BCG, Hepatitis B and OPV, followed by further doses at 6, 10 and 14 weeks, another round around 9 months, and booster doses between 15 and 18 months and again around 5 years. Exact spacing can vary a little depending on the vaccines chosen and the child’s health, which is why it helps to follow a schedule set by your own pediatrician rather than a generic printout. Painless vaccine options are also available for parents who want to reduce post-injection fussiness and swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Both Stree Hospital, Kalewadi, and Kirti Hospital, Pimpri, are a short drive from Pimple Saudagar, making regular visits and vaccinations easy to fit into a family’s routine.
Mild fevers in older infants and children can often be watched at home with fluids and rest. However, any fever in a baby under three months, a fever above 104°F at any age, or a fever paired with breathing trouble, rash, or unusual drowsiness needs urgent medical attention.
Yes, painless vaccine options are available and are considered safe and effective, generally causing less fever and swelling than standard vaccines.
Appetite naturally varies through childhood. Persistent poor weight gain, low energy, or a noticeable drop in growth on the growth chart are the signs worth discussing at a check-up, rather than appetite alone.
