From newborns to teens, we track growth charts, developmental milestones, vision/hearing screening when due, and safety (car seats, drowning, button batteries). Immunization protects against serious infections; we follow Health Canada’s overview of provincial schedules and Ontario’s routine program. For trusted child health information, Caring for Kids (Canadian Paediatric Society) is a helpful patient resource.
Red-flag symptoms (respiratory distress, dehydration, non-blanching rash, altered consciousness) may require emergency care—we give clear return precautions.
