i have just had my appointment through the post for my littlen and he is just over 8 months! i was told at 6 months that he would have a check up at 8 months old, similar to there first check up, i think that was at about 8 weeks, height, weight, sight, hearing, pincer grip and general development! i live in North Wales and i have to say that the baby clinics are brilliant here. we have groups put in place to encourange babies development from a very early age and i must saythat are fantastic and you always know what to expect at each developmental stage and also not to worry if your child isnt as advanced as another. REMEMBER MUMMY'S, ALL CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT, THE ONLY SIMILARITY IS, THEY ARE ALL SPECIAL XXX
