Postnatal Care

You and your baby will be invited for a postnatal check up approximately 6-8 weeks after the birth of your baby.  This is a physical check up with a GP for both of you where you can raise any concerns and ask any questions. Your baby’s 1st immunisations will be arranged once they have had this postnatal check.

Postnatal care extends for between 6-8 weeks after the birth of your baby. During this period, routine checks are carried out by the health visitor and you and your baby’s recovery is monitored.

During your postnatal care you will find out about feeding, potty training, illnesses, safety and more. You will be able to ask your health visitor questions and request advice.
