Your child should start seeing a pediatrician from day one of life. Pediatricians will monitor the growth and development of your child, provide vaccinations, and treat any illnesses that your child may experience.

During your child's visit, the pediatrician will:

• Measure the height, weight, and head circumference of your child.

• Check the vital signs of your child, including heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature.

• Listen to the heart and lungs of a child.

• Examine the eyes, ears, nose, and throat of your child.

• Ask about the development of your child including their ability to walk, talk, and play

If your child is sick, consult a pediatrician immediately to get the problem diagnosed and treated at an early stage when it is treatable.

Red flags include constant high fever, difficulty breathing, lethargy, dehydration, seizures, or unresponsiveness.

Breast development usually begins by around age 13, so if there are no signs of puberty by this age, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician for evaluation rather than panic.

The five stages describe progressive development of the breasts, pubic hair, body growth and reproductive maturity, from pre-puberty (Stage 1) to full physical maturity (Stage 5).

There is no fixed age when delayed puberty ends, as it depends on the underlying cause. Some children experience puberty naturally later, while others may need treatment.

The later signs include the completion of breast and pubic hair development, slowing of the growth spurt, and establishment of regular menstrual cycles.

Puberty should not be intentionally delayed without a medical reason. Medicines that suppress puberty may be used in specific medical conditions and only under specialist supervision.

Treatment depends on the cause and may include monitoring, improving nutrition, treating an underlying condition, or hormone therapy when medically appropriate.
