Can my baby receive vaccines privately instead of at a health centre?
Yes. Vaccinations can be administered at LifeScan.mt in a calm private outpatient setting in Naxxar, with flexible appointment times and personalised paediatric care.
Do you provide well-baby checks?
Yes. We offer developmental reviews, growth monitoring, feeding advice, and routine baby check-ups.
When should my baby first see the paediatrician?
We usually recommend your baby’s first paediatric check-up at around 2 weeks of age. This visit allows the paediatrician to assess your baby’s growth, feeding, development, and general wellbeing, while also giving parents the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions. Vaccinations are then typically started from around 2 months of age.
Should my baby have a hip ultrasound screening?
Hip ultrasound screening is commonly recommended between 4-6 weeks of age to check for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), a condition where the hip joint does not develop normally. The scan is safe, painless, and uses ultrasound with no radiation. Early detection can allow treatment to start promptly if needed, often helping to avoid more complex problems later in childhood.
