Baby Checks
A baby check is a baby’s first developmental check with a GP. The purpose is to check on your baby's health and development.
It is also a good opportunity to chat about any concerns you have - about your baby, or anything else that’s worrying you!
Baby checks are usually combined with a postnatal check.
You can read more about what to expect on the NHS website.
