FRiend how often do you take your children for medical check up at Hospitals? ONly when they fall sick? or for regular check up?For me, i have a six months old baby, i take him to the hospital for medical check up every five months. I really get scared and i cry lot when ever he gets sick. Prevention is better than cure, so i feel we should always take our children for regular medical check up, What do you think?

We really don't do checkups. The last time he went to the doctor, it was to diagnose a rash. But other than that we don't need to go to check ups that often since my son is older and we don't vaccinate him. His doctor said it's not necessary.

Since, my daughter is 5 yrs now, we dont follow any routine for medical checkup, but go when necessary. And when she equires a vaccination, we visit the clinic.

My children get a yearly check up from their doctor. I also take them when they are ill.I have one child that I take to the doctor every 3-6 months for a weight check because he is one special medicine. When the children were babies I use to go about every 3-6 months depending on the child.
