2 yr Check???

[Panda_Ally]

We got a letter yesterday from the health visitor saying she is going to visit for Holly's 2 year check next week.

Did anyone else's LO have one?

NONE of my friends have had one for their LO and its got me a bit worried.

Here they have them at 8 months then 2.5 years x

No We've not had a 'check' since 16m and that was just got she got her mmr. wasnt even a dev check at all.

The Hv that did Skyes 8 month check said the next one will be at 2 years

my friend who's LO has just turned two is having one soon...i've not heard anything about whether isabel will have one if isabel doesn't then i do suspect my friends LO may be having one as is flagged on health records due to being 5 weeks premature, but who knows!

Holly last had a check a few days before her first birthday.... her red book says 'optional 18 - 24 month check' but she is 26 months now!!

We have them here; they're normally done between 2 and 2 1/2 years old. Alyssa's is this Wednesday

My nephew had his 2 year check up at 27 months so its not totally unusual, They just do weight, height etc etc then they get some free books -think thats about it

 

[billy2mm]

yup ds2 had his the other week, she jsut checked hight, weight, speech development and any other problems i had.

 

[icclebaby]

Yep we have one booked too, in 3 weeks time so Freya will be 2yrs and 3 months ish.

I think it depends on where you live. I asked my HV if my LO's would be having a 2year check, but no

Erin had hers at 2 and a half. They did quite a few tests / activities with her. xx

 

[Panda_Ally]

Thanks for all the replies! I feel better now! Thought i was being singled out or something!!!!

My son is not that age yet but I can say that he had one at around 6 months (if my memory is correct) and he is having his year check next month. I was panicked as to why he had to have it, yet no one I knew (even in the next town over) was having one but it turns out that it just depends where you live as to when and how often you have them. I did get really worried though with the first letter and it was basically weighing him, asking a few questions about what he could and could not do development wise and she gave us a bag with a toothbrush and books in so I was worrying over nothing. The place I live has them more often than a lot of places though and you are quite close in area I bet (I live between Nottingham and Derby).
