Reception: 6 week baby & postnatal check
The 'six-week check' is part of the NHS Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) programme. Along with the newborn examination, it is an essential part of the 'Healthy Child Programme', the Department of Health guideline for promotion of child health. An examination of the infant should take place between 6 to 8 weeks. As well as checking your baby we want to check in with you to make sure you feel well and are recovering properly. Please bring your red book to your appointment.
If you have had twins please complete a form for EACH baby.
