What to Expect
During your visit, we will complete a physical assessment. This may include checking your child’s weight, length/height, and head circumference. You may see the nurse or doctor listen to your child’s heart, lungs, or abdomen, gently examine their head and eyes, and check their hips.
We will also assess your child’s development. If you have any questions or concerns, please share them with us. If you are curious about typical developmental milestones, you can explore the LookSee Checklist, a free resource for families in Ontario:

We will ask questions about your child’s nutrition, sleep, and behaviour, and provide guidance on topics such as injury prevention, healthy sleep habits, environmental health, oral health, fever management, and more.
Your child may also receive vaccinations during this visit. To learn more, please see the Immunization section of our website
