Maternity health visit. A mother and district maternity nurse discuss the development of a baby at home. The nurse is noting down the child's development on a notepad. The mother is lying on a bed and breast-feeding her baby. The maternity nurse will assess the child's growth and development according to specific motor and intellectual milestones. Children who lag behind in normal development may be suffering from nutritional deficiency or one of many childhood disorders. Photographed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
