The practice offers different health reviews, to find out more please see below;
New Born Review
This is normally done in hospital unless you have had a normal delivery and have been discharged after only 6 hours. This would rarely be the case for first time mothers. If your new baby requires this health check please contact the Health Centre as soon as possible after you return home
Birth Review
For the first ten days after your baby is born both you and your baby will be under the care of a midwife who will visit you at home as often as you both think is necessary. She will be able to deal with any concerns you may have. She will make sure the baby is feeding well and will also monitor his or her weight.
10-14 day Review
The health visitor takes over the care of the baby from the midwife at around 10 days and will continue to monitor the baby’s health including weight. She will also examine the baby’s hips to check they are stable.
