Regular developmental checks play a pivotal role in understanding how well your child is growing across physical, social, emotional, and speech domains. From the first newborn check to childhood developmental assessments, these visits help ensure your child is meeting expected milestones and allow early identification of issues that might benefit from intervention. We also monitor for common childhood conditions such as respiratory infections, fevers, allergy symptoms, eczema, and asthma.

As part of Singapore’s Childhood Developmental Screening (CDS) programme, eligible Singapore Citizen children can receive fully subsidised developmental assessments at our clinic when performed according to the national schedule. This screening complements the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS), allowing your child’s vaccinations and developmental checks to be completed together in one visit.

At Little Haven Family Clinic, families enrolled in the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) can benefit from subsidised consultations, vaccinations, and developmental checks, ensuring accessible and holistic care.

What Is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a common condition in newborn babies and is not preventable, where the skin or whites of the eyes appear yellow. It happens when there is a build-up of a substance called bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is produced when the body breaks down red blood cells.

If high bilirubin levels are not detected and managed early, they can affect a baby’s developing brain.

This is why early jaundice screening is important to ensure timely monitoring and appropriate care.

How Common is Jaundice?

About 50% of full-term newborns develop jaundice in their first week of life and up to 80% of premature babies may develop jaundice. In most cases, it is mild and resolves on its own, but screening is important to ensure your baby remains safe.

Symptoms of Jaundice

Some common signs include:

Yellowing of the skin and eyes
Usually starts on the face and spreads to the chest, tummy, arms, and legs
Yellow tint in the whites of the eyes
Darker yellow colour over time

If your baby appears very sleepy, feeds poorly, or develops worsening yellowing, it is important to get checked promptly.
