I always used the Thorpe Hamlet Children’s Centre as they were always welcoming but I found this link on JustOneNorfolk which finds all the baby weighing clinics in Norfolk.

Thats great, thanks ShazzaA . Do you know how often you’re meant to weigh?

Hi LawsonLion

We normally recommend after the first two weeks, your baby should be weighed:

- no more than once a month up to six months of age

- no more than once every two months from 6-12 months of age

- no more than once every three months over the age of one

(Unless you have any worries about your baby or their growth needs to be reviewed more often)

Hope that helps!
