Who this list is for
This checklist is for parents or guardians bringing a toddler to their 1-year well-child visit. If your child is newly mobile and you want to be ready for questions about food, sleep, and development, this list covers what you need to pack and document.
How to use this list
Gather your documents first: child health insurance card, your own photo ID, appointment confirmation, and immunization record. Next, update your child’s medication and vitamin list, and note any medication allergies. Fill out a three-day food diary, write down milk intake, and jot notes on your toddler’s sleep schedule. Make a quick list of new words, gestures, and walking attempts. Prepare your list of questions for the pediatrician. For on-the-go care, pack five clean diapers, a pack of baby wipes, and a portable changing pad. Double-check each item as you pack it.
Common mistakes
People often forget to bring updated food diaries or sleep notes, which can make it harder to answer the pediatrician’s questions. Don’t skip the immunization record or medication allergy list, even if you think the office has them on file. Avoid overpacking—bring only what’s on this list to keep your bag manageable.
