A quick check using calibrated scales so parents and carers can monitor their baby’s growth between visits to a GP or Maternal and Child Health nurse.

It’s quick, free, and requires no appointment — just drop in whenever suits you.

Here’s what happens during your visit:

• Walk in during opening hours — no appointment necessary.
• A staff member weighs your baby using calibrated scales.
• You receive the result, and a growth-tracking card if available.

How often should I bring my baby into be weighed?

This depends on your baby’s age and anyadvice from your Maternal and Child Health nurse or GP — many parents findfortnightly or monthly check-ins useful in the first year.

Do I need to book?

No, walk-ins are welcome, though callingahead is fine if you’d like to confirm a time.

Can pharmacy staff tell me if mybaby’s growth is on track?
