A complete head to toe examination will be performed on your child at each scheduled well child visit. Weight, length and head circumference will be measured on all children 2.5 years and younger. Weight, height and blood pressure will be measured on all children 3 years and older. A urinalysis will be performed each year starting at 4 years of age.
