What Does a Newborn & Baby Health Check Include?

A baby health check is more than a weight check. Depending on your baby’s age and needs, the consultation may cover the following.

Growth & Physical Health

We measure weight, length and head circumference, and plot them on growth charts to follow your baby’s growth pattern. We also do a full physical examination, checking the heart, breathing, hips, eyes, skin, tummy and reflexes — a proper head to toe check, from tiny fingers to tiny toes.

Feeding & Nutrition

We cover breastfeeding, formula or mixed feeding, and how often and how much your baby feeds. We also look into feeding difficulties, poor weight gain, frequent spit-ups or vomiting, and when and how to start solids.

Newborn Jaundice

Many newborns develop mild jaundice, but some need closer monitoring or treatment. We assess jaundice against your baby’s age, risk factors, feeding, weight gain and general condition, and arrange for further testing (e.g. bilirubin test) or follow-up when needed.

Developmental Assessment

From head control to first words, we check your baby’s motor skills, social interaction, communication, vision, hearing and feeding. If anything needs attention, we’ll guide you on what to do next.

Vaccination & Preventive Care

Vaccination is a core part of every baby check at Little Eden Child Specialist Clinic. We follow the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) and offer crucial recommended vaccines for added protection. Our paediatrician will walk you through each one and keep your baby on track.

Common Newborn and Baby Concerns

Rashes, colic, reflux, sleepless nights, cord care, funny-coloured poo — we’ve seen it all! If something doesn’t feel quite right, just ask. No question is too small. We’ll help you know when to relax and when to look closer.

Why See a Paediatrician for Your Newborn?

A newborn’s health needs special attention, because some conditions can be subtle and easy to miss early on. A paediatrician is specially trained in newborn and infant health — that means we can assess your baby’s growth, feeding, development and overall well-being, and pick up early signs that might otherwise go unnoticed.

At Little Eden Child Specialist Clinic, we provide specialist paediatric care with a gentle, personalised approach. We are here to guide and reassure you, and to help give your little one the healthiest possible start in life.

If you have questions or simply want peace of mind that your baby is growing well, we are here for you. Let’s take this journey together, one little step at a time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my baby have a health check?

Babies of any age can have a health check, from the first few days of life onwards. Many parents bring their newborn in during the first week, especially to check on feeding and jaundice. Regular checks can then be timed with vaccination visits. What we focus on depends on your baby’s age and needs.

What should I bring to my baby’s health check?

To get the most out of the visit, please bring your baby’s health record book, including their vaccination record, any discharge summaries or previous medical reports, a list of medications or supplements your baby takes, a rough idea of your baby’s feeding pattern, and any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss.

Can you check whether my baby’s weight gain is normal?

Of course. We will chart your baby’s growth and look at the bigger picture, including feeding, development and overall health.

Can I discuss breastfeeding or formula feeding with the paediatrician?

Of course. Whether you are breastfeeding, formula feeding or doing a mix of both, we are happy to go through any feeding questions or concerns with you.

My newborn has jaundice. Should I bring my baby for a check-up?

Yes, it is best to have it checked. Jaundice is common, but it is important to know how high the levels are. We will assess your baby, check bilirubin levels if needed, and advise whether further monitoring or treatment is required. Please come in as soon as possible if your baby looks very yellow, is unusually sleepy, or isn’t feeding well.

Can you check my baby’s developmental milestones?

Of course. We will look at how your baby moves, sees, hears, responds and interacts, based on their age. If anything needs a closer look, we will guide you on the next steps. We will be here for your little one at every stage as they grow.

My baby seems healthy. Is a check-up still useful?

Yes, regular check-ups help make sure your baby’s growth, feeding, development and vaccinations stay on track. Some concerns are easier to spot early, even when everything seems fine. It’s also an opportunity to ask any questions you’ve been saving up.
