Make room for your questions as you follow your child’s growth, development and health together. Learn what to discuss at routine check-ups as well as during illness.
Growth and development
Height and weight monitoring, your observations about development and the child’s daily life.
Nutrition and care
Your questions about breastfeeding, introducing complementary foods, appetite and nutrition.
During illness
Assessment of fever, respiratory symptoms, digestive and urinary concerns according to age and findings.
Preventive health
Reviewing vaccination records and discussing a follow-up plan suited to your child.
What to expect at your consultation
- Listening to your child together: Alongside your observations, allow your child to describe their own experience when their age and communication abilities allow.
- Examination and developmental assessment: Symptoms and growth and development information are considered together. Additional investigations are planned only when needed.
- Follow-up at home: Make sure you understand care advice, follow-up timing and which changes require another assessment.
Prepare before your visit
- Prepare the vaccination card, growth records and previous reports.
- List medicines and doses so you can give the healthcare team accurate information.
- Note your main questions about nutrition, sleep or development; include your child’s questions too.
Should we come for check-ups when my child is well?
Well-child visits are important for monitoring growth and development and discussing preventive health. Agree on a schedule suited to your child with the doctor.
Is every fever treated the same way?
No. Age, general condition and accompanying signs need assessment. This page gives no medicine or dose recommendations; contact the healthcare team for advice specific to your child.
Where can I ask about vaccines and age limits?
Consult your doctor with vaccination records. Confirm the department’s accepted age range, vaccination services and appointment requirements with the hospital.
