This workshop is for Hertfordshire residents only

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health recommend weighing your baby /toddler at specific times by the time your child is 2.5 years.

Please access the Family Centre self weigh stations to check your baby’s progress at 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 8 months and 12 months.

YOU CAN'T ACCESS SELF WEIGHS WITHIN THE FAMILY CENTRE IF THE BABY IN UNDER 16 WEEKS - THE PARENT/CARER NEEDS TO SEE A HEALTH VISITOR TO DO THIS.
