Infant Feeding, Growth, Weight Checks

Feeding Guidelines

In line with accepted guidelines, we recommend infants are breastfed until around 6 months of age when solid foods are introduced. For further recommendations, please download the Infant Feeding Guide - HERE

Childhood Growth

Children's growth can be affected by a range of factors, including:

• Genetics
• Environment
• Nutrition
• Biological causes
• Health and wellbeing

Our practice recommends regular growth monitoring for:

• Detecting slow or excessive growth
• Checking the impact of illness and response to treatment
• Screening for high risk individuals

Where any questions or problems arise, ask one of our doctor for advice.
