Important information

Families booking a self-weigh slot should familiarise themselves with the below information prior to booking;

  • Self-weigh slots are for weighing babies and infants under the age of 2. If your child is over the age of 2, and you want to them weighed, you will need to book an appointment at one of our Well Child Clinics instead. 
  • All slots will last for 15 minutes. Families arriving late to their slot may be required to rebook for a future date.
  • Families must only book 1 slot per month (exceptions to this will be notified separately)
  • We will operate a 1-in-1-out policy and you may be required to wait outside of the building before being called in for your appointment.
  • There will not be a health visitor or health professional available at these sessions. For advice please contact your named Health Visitor or the Telephone Advisory Service (TAS).
  • Unfortunately there is no parking available for visitors to self-weigh clinics. You are encouraged to utilise local car parks or on-street parking where available. Please be considerate of homes/drives and do not block other cars.
  • Our self weigh clinics are unmanned. Anyone with concerns should contact their midwife or health visitor, alternatively contact the Telephone Advisory Service (TAS) Monday - Friday between 9:00am-1:00pm by calling 0300 123 9551.

How often should my baby be weighed?

After the first 2 weeks, your baby should be weighed:

  • no more than once a month up to 6 months of age
  • no more than once every 2 months from 6 to 12 months of age
  • no more than once every 3 months over the age of 1

Your baby will usually only be weighed more often than this if there are concerns about their health or growth.

Your baby's length may also be measured at some of their developmental reviews.
