My son is 8 months old. He had all his shots at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months. I was just wondering if anyone knew when his next doctor visit should be. I was told either 9 months or 12????

For me, we took both of my kiddos in at their 9 months, then again also at the year mark. Perhaps you should call his doc to make sure!

Thanks for responding. Thats sounds about right too. His doctor doesn't give me any appointments, but I was just thinking I should take him at 9 months and 12 also.

You should take him for a 9 month check up, they don't give shots at that age, but they do perform an anemia test (at least they do in my state).

You only need to take him at 12 months. They are no nine month shots. Hope this helps/

At 9 months there isn't shots but you still go in for a WELL BABY check-up & then at 12 months you go in for another WELL-BABY and some Dr.'s give the shots between 12-15 months. My Dr. had me wait until she was 15 months for these shots. Then your next Well-Baby is at 2 years. There is a book out called What to Expect the First Year and Toddler years that has lots of valuable information.
