A health visitor will visit you and your family at home when your baby is 10-14 days old.
This first visit gives you the chance to discuss any issues about the health and well-being of yourself, your new baby and the rest of the family. This is a chance to ask for any advice or information and to discuss any worries you may have.
Some of the things that you may want to discuss could be:
- Contacting the health visitor team in the future
- Child health clinic
- Feeding
- Sleeping and crying
- Advice on caring for your baby at night
- Immunisations
- Family health (yourself, your partner, your baby’s brothers or sisters)
- Registering your baby’s birth
- Home and car safety
