Answer

Hello, generally speaking, a four-month-old baby does not need any physical examinations. However, growth and development monitoring can be done. Advice: Many second-tier hospitals now offer growth and development departments. You can take your baby for consultation regarding growth and development, complementary feeding, the addition of trace elements, and monitoring of medication intake.
