0–1.5 years
Health checkups from birth to 1.5 years of age help monitor the child’s growth and development and support parents with everyday topics. During the first visits, attention is also paid to the mother’s recovery and to breastfeeding. Later on, the focus shifts increasingly to the child’s physical and mental development. The necessary vaccinations are administered according to the national immunisation schedule.
