Baby health – 8 week check

When your baby is around 8 weeks old we will send you an appointment for your baby’s 8 week check at the surgery and their first vaccinations. Please bring your baby’s red book to this appointment so we can check their weight progression.

We will combine this appointment with your post-natal check. This will include a discussion about your contraceptive choices as a new mother, so when you get chance, have a read about the options below.
