The French website for the 2024 RBR GUIDES/NOTES and related resources is now live!

The Rourke Baby Record Core Team members are delighted to announce the
launch of the 2024 edition of the Rourke Baby Record (RBR) on
Friday November 8 at the 2024 Family Medicine Forum in Vancouver.

The RBR consists of age-specific visit GUIDES and is accompanied by
NOTES/evidence summaries and relevant resources for healthcare providers and for
families of young children. It is available in English and French.

Parents often wonder about their child’s health, growth and development, leading
to the question: "Is my child healthy and growing and developing normally?"
Here you can find reliable resources to answer questions about your child.

The RBR enables current comprehensive well baby/well child visits including
growth and nutrition monitoring; developmental surveillance; physical
examination parameters; immunizations; and guidance on safety,
family functioning, and behaviour and health promotion issues.
