Frequently asked questions
Can newborns under 1 month old be examined at Ky Hoa? Yes. Our pediatricians can examine children from the newborn stage, including breastfeeding counseling, monitoring of newborn jaundice, and other early health concerns.
How can I tell whether my child is developing normally? The doctor will assess your child's weight, height, and developmental milestones against the World Health Organization (WHO) standard growth charts and provide specific advice for each child.
How often should a child have a routine pediatric check-up? During the first year of life, check-ups are recommended every 1–3 months. From age 1 onward, a check-up at least every 6 months is advised to monitor growth and update the immunization schedule.
