👶 Looking to weigh your baby? 💖

Our Self Weigh Stations are a great way to check your baby’s weight and get support from trained staff on various health and parenting topics.

We offer two ways to weigh your baby:
1️⃣ Book an appointment via Eventbrite (bring your ticket for bookable sessions)
2️⃣ Drop in at specific times (see our What’s On page here: https://buff.ly/3VwKtsT)

Check your baby’s progress at 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 8 months, and 12 months. If your baby is outside of these key touchpoints or you have any concerns, contact your health visitor on 0300 123 7572.

Tip: Don’t forget to bring a thin blanket or baby mat for the scales. ⚖️
