Every well-child check includes a similar set of assessments, adapted to your child’s age and developmental needs. The clinic aims to make appointments comfortable for both children and families.
What to expect at a well-child visit
Measurements change as children grow. In infancy and early childhood, clinicians commonly monitor weight, length or height, and head circumference. Older children may also have blood pressure, hearing and vision assessments based on age and individual needs.
Infancy to approximately 2½ years
Weight, length, head circumference, feeding, sleep, growth and developmental progress.
Around 3 years
Height, weight, blood-pressure checks when appropriate, behaviour and language development.
