Eight week checks for new mothers and babies
With a GP, phone 11am to 1pm or 4:30pm to 6:30pm to book your eight week check. Please come in and fill in registration forms one week before your baby is seen.
If you are worried about your baby, do not wait for the eight week check, see your GP. If the appointments are full, the eight week check can be done a few weeks later.
