A routine examination is not needed at fourteen months. For a healthy baby whose twelve-month examination was normal, the next routine examination takes place at fifteen months. However, when babies come in during this period with different health problems, a systemic examination is performed.
Growth and development are assessed first, including body weight. At fourteen months, expected measurements are 10–11 kilograms in weight, 75–80 centimeters in length and approximately 47, 48 or 49 centimeters in head circumference. Breathing and heart sounds are assessed, and the ears, mouth, teeth and abdomen are examined. A genital examination should also be performed as usual.
In neurological development, the baby is expected to walk without holding on, crawl up stairs, speak in two-word sentences and answer simple questions.
