I took DD to all the appts up until whichever age the one is before the 18 months one...? When I took DS to his 6 week check she noticed DD hadn't had it and did the check then, even though she was over 25 months my then. I had DS's 8 month check booked a few weeks ago, but when I got there the doors were locked and no one was there I haven't called to rebook and don't think I will. I have always dreaded going cause she is rather strange and I find her really patronising, but kept going cause I felt like people would think I was a bad mother if I didn't go to the check ups. I think I will take this last situation as a reason not to go back. If I have any concerns with their development I will take them to the GP.
