Weaning

Routine Checkups

A well baby checkup is a good time to ask questions about weaning. During this checkup, your baby's health professional will:

• Compare the baby's current weight, height, and head size with measurements taken at birth to see if the rate of growth is normal.
• Ask how well the baby is eating and sleeping and whether any problems have developed.
