Those who have had their childs 8 month development check...

[Yvonne]

Was it just a questionnaire or did you still have to take them to the HV?

With Amy's i had to take her to clinic for them to do it but the 2 yr one was jsut a questionnaire.

Has it changed to questionnaires now?

Braydon went to see the HV for his she weighed, measured, head cirmfurance etc
she then asked me if he was crawling etc, and as he wasnt asked if he was making an effort ewhich he was, then she asked how he picked things up ie with a pincer grip
we also got free baby books lol

Well when i took Jack to be weighed today the HV came over to see how Jack was getting on, and she said she had just filled his form out for his PDP check (something about development etc)

She said they don't do the hearing test anymore, she said i will be asked questions like
When you say daddy's here does he get excited and does he look at you when you shout him etc, she said they will also check he can grasp things and pick things up.

She also said they will check he is either sitting up or showing signs of it as they get concerned if they are not sat up by 9 months.
