Parents often visit a doctor only when their child is sick—but regular check-ups are equally important for ensuring healthy development. Dr. Sunildatt P. Daru, a respected pediatrician and child health specialist, encourages parents to embrace routine pediatric visits as a proactive step.

From the neonatal stage to adolescence, each phase of a child’s growth comes with unique physical, cognitive, and emotional milestones. At his Well Baby Clinic, Dr. Daru monitors everything from weight gain and immunization to speech development and dietary habits.

These visits aren’t just about charts and measurements—they’re opportunities to detect potential health issues before they become serious. Common concerns addressed during well-baby and child visits include:

• Growth delays
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Behavioral challenges
• Developmental delays
• Immunization gaps

Early interventions, guided by pediatric insight, lead to better long-term outcomes. For instance, catching vision issues early can prevent learning problems in school. Identifying allergies in infancy can protect the child from future asthma or eczema.

Vaccination is another crucial component. Dr. Daru ensures every child receives timely vaccines to prevent illnesses like measles, mumps, hepatitis, and polio. These visits are also a great time for parents to clarify doubts related to diet, sleep routines, screen time, and school readiness.

The adolescent stage also benefits from regular check-ups. Teenagers face hormonal changes, academic stress, and peer pressure. Dr. Daru offers a safe space for teens to talk about mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

His pediatric practice is not just clinical—it’s holistic. Each child is treated as a whole individual, not just a set of symptoms. Dr. Daru’s 20+ years of experience and soft-spoken demeanor make every visit reassuring for both child and parent.
