Weaning: Routine Checkups

Routine Checkups
A well-baby checkup is a good time to ask questions about weaning. During this checkup, your baby's doctor 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.
