30 Month Visit Preview

Preparing for the 30 Month Visit

Growth

  • We’ll measure and discuss your child’s weight and length.
  • We plot those numbers on the growth chart to give you a visual of how he’s changing from visit to visit.
  • Your provider cares about percentiles, and how they compare to previous visits.
    • We’re looking for consistency.
    • The actual numbers for weight and length are less important.

Nutrition

  • We'll discuss tips for mealtime success and ensure your child is getting enough calcium, iron and vitamin D
  • "Grazing," "food jags" or what some parents perceive as "picky eating" may be present and we will review normal eating behaviors for age. 

Development

  • Your provider will watch and interact with your child.
  • Everyone develops differently and at their own pace. That being said, if there’s anything you’re worried about, please bring it to our attention. See something, say something!

Physical Exam

  • Our examination includes a lot in a short amount of time. Please ask questions if you have them! All questions are good questions, and we want you to be involved in your child’s care.

Vaccines

  • There are no routine vaccines at the 30 month visit. We will administer the flu shot during flu season only.
