  • No appointment yet but LO was born on the 24th Nov - So I expect it will be at least another month for me.

  • I didn't realise they had one either, Olivia is 9 months next Thursday although now that I think my HV told she wouldnt see us again until lo's next injections around the one year mark! I havent seen HV since Olivia had her 16 week injections
  • Oh yeah we got those at the 16 week injections, got them with a sippy cup and toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • did you? we used to get ours at 8n months check but ive heard nothing? it always changes cant kep up x image
  • I would contact them and book an appointment! They do always change things, sil is pregnant now and her pregnancy notes are changed now from when I was pregnant.
  • ill take to clinic friday see what they say?
  • Ive not been told that we get books but ill ask on Thursday

  • I dug out the leaflet that I got when LO was born and it said 8-12 month check-up and to phone to book.

    So I did.

    They said that they were no longer doing the appointments because of staff shortages. If you have any concerns/questions just to go to the baby clinic.

    There we go.

  • just had phone call from HV she is coming on the 27th july at 11am apparently we still have them here just not the 2half year check x
  • our red book now says 12 months. The health visitor said they put it back cos so many had to 'come back later' as they weren't ready! You can pick the books up from the library - just ask for the bookstart pack.
