LO1's have always been on schedule but somehow LO2 got 5-6 weeks behind on hers. So she won't have her one year appointment until she is a little over 13 months. Not a huge deal but I wish we were a little closer to the correct age.
Are your LO's well child checks on schedule or are they a bit off? If so, by how far?

I think about 2 weeks behind. Each one got a bit more behind because it has to be two months from the previous vaccines they said and then my doctor is never ever in. I might take him in right at 1 for his MMR though! And then go back for whatever ones he can't get until it's been 6 months from his previous ones.

Nope they are on schedule. Usually only off by a day or two.

They are about 2-3 weeks behind. He was born at Christmas-time, so was behind straight out of the gate.

They are on track. I always make her next appointment when I check in for her current appointment so getting in on time is not an issue.

We got a little behind around their 6 month appt because we had to reschedule due to a conflict that popped up on DH's work calendar. So they turned 9 months on Feb 3 and their appt isn't until next week!

We got off for her 9 month appointment, which she had a week before turning 10 months. We had to reschedule due to an ear infection. We will be back on track for her 1 year, though.

We got a little behind on DS because of the holidays. We can't go earlier now because his vaccines have to be a certain number of weeks apart. DD will have her 2.5 year check up pretty much on time.

We got behind because of her ITP. We are about a month to two months behind.

Ds2 is a month behind. He was supposed to to have his 4 months around Christmas & it just didn't happen.

Wait, do your offices make you keep them so many months apart? Mine just asks when he turns 6 mo or what have you and schedules it then.

She was pretty on time her first year but we just moved so I delayed her 2 year so we could find a new Ped and see him/her otherwise I wouldn't see anyone for a year!

Nope. We just did her one year well child check at 14.5 months!

M has been a little off, but now that we had the shot-free 9 month appointment, I can get back on track at one year.

We're approximately on time - I consider getting in any time in the month they are a certain age to be on time. DD2 has her 12 month check next week, 14 days after her first birthday but I still consider that on time.
Meh, it was never pushed in Australia that they must come in on the day they turn a certain age so I'm not terribly fussed.

@Ree723: Same here. I'm honestly not entirely sure what the schedule is here, but it is much less frequent than in the US for sure. We just always make a new appointment at the end of the current appointment. Sometimes they schedule us for a month to 6 weeks later, sometimes it's 3-4 months later.
