2 year old and HV check-up?

IMoveTheStarsForNoOne · 23/10/2009 13:45

Does every 2yo have to have a check-up with the HV? DS is coming up to two, but hasn't seen the HV since he was 8mo..

Just wondering..

My DS never had a 2 year check up! I got a letter in the post to say if I had any concerns to contact my HV.

My area do them at 2.5, we went in Sept but it varies a bit.

It was things like, can they scribble, talk a bit, any concerns about sight/hearing, can they jump/climb stairs.

we dont get an 8 month or 2 year check here so check with your hv that they still do them.

I got one for dd2 but at request, but they do do them here at 2.5 years. They have now said they will give her a 3year check too

no. they just sent a letter with milstones on and said to ring if any problems.

dd just got her appointment through, she will be 2.4

PerryPlatypus · 23/10/2009 20:02

We only get an 8mth check here. After that you just get letters with the milestones on and asked to make an appointment if you think there's a problem.

I got one on request when gecko was 2.3

fledtoscotland · 23/10/2009 20:25

apart from immunisations, there is no HV check at any age here in central scotland. if you have concerns then you just contact them.

We have a 2 year check in our area but my dd has sn and we are rather sick of her being assessed so we didn't go!!

LackingNicknameInspiration · 23/10/2009 20:31

Same as ruddynorah, we got a letter when DD turned 2 two weeks ago telling us they don't do 2 year checks anymore with a leaflet telling us what DD should be able to do. And that we can call if we have any concerns.

onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 20:38

we had a two year check

CharCharGabor · 23/10/2009 20:39

They've just started doing them in my area again recently. DD is 2.2 and has hers in November.
