Two year old check

10 replies

I've just realised that I haven't had a letter about DD's 2 year old check.
She turned 2 at the end of October.

Before I ring and ask, does anyone know of there is an age range for it? (I remember dd1 not being quite 2 when hers was done)
Or whether they are behind with them for some reason eg.covid still ?

I can't seem to find anything online.
Thank you

I mentioned to my HV (with my new baby) about my eldest 2yr check coming up and she said I might not receive a letter straight away as they are a bit behind and to expect it between 2-2.5yrs

Don't worry op , as a pp said it's done at about 2 years and 4 months (in my area anyway) , you'll probably get your letter soon.

My son was 2 at the beginning of September and I received his 2 year check letter last week for an appointment in mid feb so he will almost be 2 and a half

Ours was done at 2y 4m.

Ah, brilliant. Thank you.
I remember dd1 not being 2 yet when we had hers.
I've got no concerns about dd2 but just didn't want to miss it. They missed handing her over from the midwife to the HV team and she had lost quite a bit of weight when I finally got her weighed again so I'm conscious that I don't want to miss anything.

Way behind where I'm from (Lancashire). My DD was 2 in June, we had an appointment for Jan which was cancelled and not had another one through since

We're in Essex and they said since covid they aren't doing 2yr ones. It's between 2 1/2-3yrs now apparently u unless you have specific concerns that can be voiced to your HV.

That's interesting. Thank you. I may leave it until she is 2.5 in April and give them a ring if I've not heard.

We are not far from Lancashire. I imagine that it is similar waiting times. Thank you

Got ours next week, my toddler who also turned 2 in Oct. They sent a letter a month ago telling me a text message would follow with instructions to book online. There was a lag of 2/3 weeks between the letter and text.
