When your child is between 9 and 12 months old you may receive an 'Ages and Stages' (ASQ: 3) questionnaire in the post, with a prepaid envelope to complete and return which will be reviewed by a health professional. If the results indicate that a further follow up is necessary we'll invite you and your child to an appointment.
Please take a moment to view the one year page in their Personal Child Health Record ’red book’ which highlights the many new skills they may be developing at this age.
Your child will also be due their 1 year immunisations which you will need to arrange with your GP surgery.
The 9-12 month review is an opportunity to review your child’s progress including information on:
-
Child development

Speech and communication
-
Dental health
-
Immunisations
-
Healthy eating
-
Sleep and Safer sleep
