There is enough water in formula and breast milk to meet your babies needs, so no extra water is really needed. It may be offered during hot weather or when baby is ill. Once your baby starts eating solid foods, he may require more water.
New Parent FAQs
Does my child need a physical every year?
Only if they're new to the district, entering Pre-K/K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, or 11th grade, or playing interscholastic sports (sports physicals are required annually regardless of grade).¹
How long is a school physical valid in New York?
Up to 12 months from the date of the exam, per NYSED guidance.²
Can RBK Pediatrics combine a sports physical with a regular checkup?
Often, yes, if the timing aligns with your child's well-visit schedule — call the Commack office to ask.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Your child's immunization records, any prior physical forms, and the school's specific physical/health form if your district requires its own version.
