Well-child visits offer an opportunity to discuss growth, feeding, development and any concerns parents may have.
Routine checks as children grow
- Height or length, weight and general growth patterns.
- Head circumference measurements during early childhood, when appropriate.
- Development, hearing and vision questions suited to each age.
- Family guidance on nutrition, sleep, safety and preventive care.
These checks may vary according to the child’s health, age and the clinician’s judgement.
