GP/Doctor check ups for babies
Hi ladies, how often is everyone taking their babies for general health checkups?
Excluding the standard vaccination requirements at certain months/years.

We've only taken our bub to the doctors once outside of standard vaccines or emergency visits to get medication prescribed - I have pretty severe pollen allergies and we were worried he was showing symptoms. I did take him to the community health nurse a couple of times while I was still on mat leave but I've been back at work for 6 months now so it's pretty much just the standard stuff now. He's a happy healthy bub though and meeting all his milestones so I'm not really worried
No need to go unless youâre concerned about something or something is wrong.
I've been taking my little man to the free child's health clinic fairly regularly. It was once a fortnight when he was younger and now maybe every month or so. Its good to have a weigh and a chat about his development, feeding, sleep etc. Has really helped my peace of mind đ
