Baby clinics

Baby clinics are held across the city in a variety of venues where health visitors and community nursery nurses provide support for:

• your child’s growth
• development and behaviour
• good sleeping habits
• feeding your child – breast milk, formula, solids, healthy eating
• coping with minor illnesses
• managing a crying baby
• immunisations
• toileting
• any other concerns you have about your child, yourself or your family

Health visitors have a wide range of knowledge about all aspects of parenting and supporting families. They also work closely with other health care providers and agencies and can help you access the right support through signposting and referrals to other services.

Attending a baby clinic
