It's a good idea to have consultations for your baby between one week and ten days after birth and then once a month until they're about four months old.

At six months, a check-up is necessary for a growth assessment, and then again at nine months, one year, 15 months, 18 months, and finally at two years.

Dr Smit will evaluate your little darling's health and growth to ensure they have what they need to thrive, strong and smiling!

Monitoring your baby's development and growth is vital. We screen to assess physical and psycho-social development, checking to see if your child is growing appropriately according to their age.

Milestones like sitting, standing, crawling, walking, talking, and motor control are tested, as well as vision and hearing.

Tummy problems or nervous system disorders can result in issues at feeding times. If your baby's struggling with eating and drinking or maintaining the right weight for their age, Dr Smit can help get your little one back on track to make feeding a safe, easy, and happy experience for you and your baby.

Dr Smit can do specialist referrals should you need a breast ultrasound. An ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging process that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the breast. It's used to help diagnose lumps or other abnormalities in the breasts.

Scheduling routine vaccinations can prevent your baby from contracting preventable and life-threatening illnesses. These days, vaccines are safe and effective.

See Dr Smit to make vaccinating your baby a smooth experience - hopefully without tears!
