Growth should be monitored regularly during infancy, every few months during early childhood, and at least once a year during school age. Your pediatrician may recommend more frequent visits if there are concerns about growth or development. What happens during a growth assessment? The pediatrician measures your child's height, weight, head circumference (if appropriate), and BMI, reviews developmental milestones, evaluates nutrition, and assesses physical, cognitive, language, and social development. When should I worry about delayed development? If your child is not meeting expected milestones such as sitting, walking, talking, or gaining weight appropriately, consult a pediatrician for a detailed developmental assessment.
