Hi I was just wondering if you are seen face to face by a health visitor or if there are any places for baby weigh ins by a professional

Hi Mummy92 ! You are generally seen face to face by the health visiting team when your baby is around 2 weeks old, 6-8 weeks old, 10-12 months old and 2-2.5 years old. There are scales in the local libraries across Norfolk, however these are for self-weighing children so health professionals aren't there. There is a map of the local libraries and scales on the Just One Norfolk Website - justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/our-s....

If you are worried about your babys weight, or want to check when you are next due to see the health visiting team, it would be worth calling into Just One Number on 0300 300 0123 to talk to someone from the health visiting service.

Aww thank you so much for the reply that's really put me at ease now. I did see there are self-weighing ones available. We are due to see the health visitor on the 23rd so maybe he'll be weighed then.
