Baby ClinicThe health visitor holds a baby clinic at the village hall in Stock. You don't need an appointment, just come along. Please contact her for details. You can weigh your baby, meet other mothers and discuss any problems with the health visitor. Child HealthRegular check ups are recommended for babies and children at the following ages
The first check is usually performed by the midwife when the mother is visited at home after the baby is born. The 6 week check is combined with the routine post natal check on the mum, by the doctor at the surgery. It is helpful if you complete the questions in the child's "red book" before each regular check up All the other checks are performed by the health visitor, and she will visit you at home for the 27 month check. At 10 days and 6 weeks the baby has a physical examination, and at all checks the child's development is assessed, with a special emphasis on speech and hearing at 27 months. |
