Eight week baby checks are performed by one of the GPs, followed by an appointment with a practice nurses for your child’s immunisations. Parents should make the appointment at least one week in advance, and your baby MUST be 8 weeks or just over. We are not able to immunise babies under 8 weeks old.
There are also a number of local Child Health clinics available, run by the Health Visiting Team. At Child Health Clinics you can discuss your child’s growth and development, and get support and advice about parenting as well as your own wellbeing. You can also have your baby weighed.
More information on how to access each borough’s Child Health services can be found here.
