Growth Checks

Growth checks look at weight, length or height, feeding, development and how your child is growing over time.

The whole picture

Birth weight and WHO growth charts help us understand the shape and progression of your child’s growth curve.

More than a number on a scale

The most useful information often comes from looking at growth over a period of time rather than focusing on one measurement in isolation. Feeding, sleeping, solids, routines, development and everyday concerns often change quickly as a baby grows.

When something needs further attention

If a growth pattern or another observation needs a closer look, we will explain why and help point you to the right healthcare professional.

Appointment request

Growth checks are available by appointment at our Vereeniging and Three Rivers clinics.
