Hey there, fabulous Mummas! As your little ones grow and change at lightning speed, it can sometimes feel like you’re juggling a million things at once. Between nappy changes, feedings, and endless cuddle sessions, who has time to keep track of all those appointments? But fear not! I’m here to help you navigate the world of Child Health Checks so that your tiny humans thrive. 

What Are Child Health Checks?

First things first, let’s talk about what these checks are all about. Child Health Checks are scheduled health and wellbeing assessments designed to monitor your little one’s growth, development, and overall health from birth up to starting Prep. Think of them as your parenting pit stops, where you can make sure everything’s running smoothly!

When Should You Schedule Them?

The timing for these checks may vary slightly depending on your state, but here’s a quick cheat sheet for those all-important milestones:

• 👶 0-4 weeks: Welcome to the world, little one! Let’s make sure everything is as it should be.
• 👶 6-8 weeks: Time for that adorable check-up. How much have they grown?
• 👶 4 months: Can you believe they’re already this old? Let’s see how they’re developing!
• 👶 6 months: Time to check in again - are they starting to sit up yet?
• 👶 12 months: One whole year of cuteness! Let’s look at all their skills.
• 👶 18 months: Little explorers are on the move - let’s ensure they’re hitting those milestones!
• 👶 2.5-3.5 years: Off to kindy soon? Let’s get them ready!
• 👶 4-5 years: Almost big kids! Let’s make sure they’re all set for school!

Why Are These Checks Important?

Child Health Checks are essential for early identification and intervention of any concerns related to your little one’s health or development. Whether it’s about nutrition, speech, or motor skills, these check-ups are your golden opportunity to chat with early childhood healthcare professionals who are here to support you.

Let’s Make It Fun!

And let’s not forget that these appointments can be fun! They’re a chance for you to connect with other parents, share stories, and get excited about the next stages of your parenting journey. Plus, you’ll leave feeling like a parenting superstar, armed with all the info you need to support your little one and your family!
