Appointments
10-14 days, 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks
Once you have had your baby, your health visitor will visit you at home to find out about your health and wellbeing, as well as your baby's.
They will offer advice on safe sleeping, vaccinations, feeding your baby, adjusting to life as a new parent and your baby's development.
Speak to them in confidence, and they can provide further support if needed.
Well baby clinics
After the first 2 weeks, your baby should be weighed: no more than once a month up to 6 months of age, no more than once every 2 months from 6 to 12 months of age, no more than once every 3 months over the age of 1. Your baby will usually only be weighed more often than this if you ask for it or if there are concerns about their health or growth.
