Postnatal
If you are discharged before the baby is 3 days old, you will need to contact the Health Centre in order to arrange an appointment for a baby heart check.

Your health visitor will have arranged an appointment for you to attend the Health Centre when your baby is 8 weeks old.  This is for you to have a post-natal check up and for your baby to have a full check up and first set of vaccinations.  Your baby’s immunisation schedule will then follow at 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 18 months and 48 months, as per your Health Visitor
