Healthy Child

A healthy child is not a child who never falls ill. It is a child who is growing, feeding, sleeping, playing and learning roughly as expected for their age — and whose parents know what to look out for.

Much of what we do at the clinic is exactly that: following how your child grows and develops, checking the milestones at each visit, and telling you plainly whether something needs attention or simply needs a little more time. Children do not all reach the same milestone on the same day, and a great deal of what worries parents turns out to be ordinary variation.

Bring your questions to a routine visit rather than saving them up. There is no such thing as a silly question about your child.
