Hello parents,

If any of you participate in the national healthcare system, do you by chance have a well-baby visit schedule I could take a look at? I'm writing about child health in Spain and I found the immunization schedule but not a well-baby visit schedule, if there even is one.

Cheers,

Juliette

hey jules.

we take lync to our private sanitas pediatrician for regular visits since we like the private care better than insalud.

the only thing we have him to insalud for is his imunizations since one can only get them via national health.

ena told me that newborns (under 6 months) see the doc every 2 weeks or month (2 weeks at first, then monthly). these usually coincide with the immunization visits so there is no need to make a special trip. then, at 6 months the regular check-ups are every 2 months. at the end of a visit they pretty much tell you when you need to come back again so there is no real "schedule" per say (at least not in practice).

hope this helps.

saludos,
jer...

Thanks so much, Jer! One other question...do you or Ena know how long a typical hospital stay is for mothers giving birth with the national system? 24 or 48 hours or...?

Gracias,

Juliette

48 for a normal (no complications) birth and 72 for c-sections.

that is general and can be extended depending on other complications.
