The 6-week baby check forms an essential component of your baby's care. This check focuses on immunisations, physical assessment, feeding and any other parental concerns. This check also pays attention to maternal mood and your family's social support.
Immunisations protect children from serious infectious diseases, prevent complications, and even death.
The National Immunisation Program recommends routine childhood immunisations, each tailored to safeguard against severe diseases at different stages of a child’s development.
Common childhood illnesses that experienced children's GP's can help with include:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Infections
These illnesses can cause distress to both the child and parents, but with the right medical care, they can be effectively managed.
Allergies and asthma, for instance, are managed by identifying triggers, prescribing suitable medications, and developing action plans to address symptoms and prevent worsening. Eczema, a common skin condition in children, is managed by moisturising the skin, avoiding irritants, prescribing topical therapies, and educating families on managing flare-ups.
