Health and development checks
Your baby's health checks are very important – they are an opportunity to check that your baby is developing properly.
They are usually carried out by your health visitor either at home or in your GP surgery, baby clinic or children's centre. These development checks are also a good opportunity for you to raise any concerns you might have.
Your baby's very first health check takes place shortly after they are born, and they'll continue until your child is 2 to 2 1/2 years old.
