Pediatric Primary Care

Nemours offers pediatric primary care at Nemours Pediatrics.

Not every child needs specialty medical care, but all children need special care — the kind you get from the experienced, compassionate primary care pediatricians and advance practice nurses (APN) at Nemours. Our pediatric care network consists of Nemours primary care offices and private practices affiliated with our Children’s Health Alliance (CHA) who share our commitment to family-centered care.

From routine check-ups to sick visits for newborns to teens, we’re here for all of your primary care needs.

Recommended Routine Visits

Children should be seen for “well-child” check-ups to make sure they’re growing up healthy at:

  • 1 to 3 days of birth for breastfed newborns
  • within the first 2 weeks after birth
  • 1 month
  • 2 months
  • 4 months
  • 6 months
  • 9 months
  • 1 year
  • 15 months
  • 18 months
  • 2 years
  • 2½ years
  • 3 years
  • 4 years
  • around every birthday every year after that

At each visit, we’ll check your child’s growth, development, overall health, and give any recommended routine immunizations.

At Nemours duPont Pediatrics, we take a whole-child approach to pediatric primary care, focusing on wellness and prevention, and developing healthy kids at all ages and stages. We like to think we’re your child’s “medical home,” here for you through all of those important growth and development milestones.

Specialty Care Right at Your Pediatrician's Office

Pediatric specialists from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, come here to our primary care office to provide specialized care for:

  • cardiology (heart care)
  • developmental pediatrics
  • endocrinology (hormone and growth problems like diabetes)

We also offer specialty care at our outpatient locations throughout the Delaware Valley and at duPont Hospital for Children for nearly every condition including: pediatric urology, pulmonology, orthopedics, psychiatry. It's our way of extending our renowned pediatric specialty care to you — where and when you need it.

Offering Advice and Information for Every Age

We also give you guidance about what to expect as your child grows (this is called “anticipatory guidance”). That includes information about things like:

  • developmental milestones (when you can expect your child to crawl, walk, talk, run, hop, throw a ball)
  • behavior (dealing with tantrums, timeouts, positive parenting, etc.)
  • nutrition (breastfeeding advice, feeding finicky eaters, ensuring a healthy diet in older kids, etc.)
  • injury prevention (childproofing, car safety, bike safety, gun safety, fire safety, water safety, etc.)

Dedicated to Offering Family-Centered Care

At Nemours, we’re committed to providing family-centered care. That means we acknowledge and address your needs, concerns, beliefs, opinions, and feelings — our patients (your children) and you, the parents, families, and guardians. We include you in your child's care and the decision-making process — and appreciate and respect that no one knows your child better than you do.
