well baby checkup
(regular ) tests that your baby is developing normally and does not have any health issues


Explanation:
In many countries (e.g. UK, France) these are required by the state as part of the welfare system. They are typically every three months until the baby is a year old, and then less often. In the UK they are free, but in other countries you may have to pay and then get reimbursed. These check ups are carried out either by General Practitioners i.e. normal family doctors, or by a paediatrician.
