6 month check up

My baby doesn’t have a check up til 1year now, but it depends on areas. I would give them a call and query if you’d like one. My visits have all been booked well in advance. Xx

Next time we’ll see the HV will be 1yo, never heard of a 6mo one

i saw my HV when my daughter has her 16 week injections and she said she would arrange the 6 month check up around my work schedule so I assummed she would contact me🙃 maybe I’ll give her a text thank you x

Wales and England have different guidelines of when HV should visit. Wales should get far more appointments but it depends on your area.
I hadn’t heard about mine so I phoned and they booked it for the following week. I had it today and she was 6 months last week

My friend had a 6M check up. But I don't think I'm gonna bother. So far the HV have been a waste of my time and petrol🙈

There is no 6 months check up. Next one is at 12 months.

I was told by my health visitor she would arrange it around my work schedule, I’m from wales so maybe it’s different ?

really! She’s come to my house every visit!

thank you! Did you ring your health visitor personally or the GP? X

We get 6 month appointments here (Wales) but I also go to a baby group weekly, which has a drop in baby clinic with HV, ability to weigh weekly etc. I'd ring if you want one, there may be a local drop in clinic you don't know about?

In our area if you want a 6 month check you have to phone and ask for one

my HV. They’re open to you until the age of 4/5 so just give them a call

@Meg she came at 10 days I think but the next one I drove for 25 min to be in her office for 5 min.

Think it depends on your area my boy hasn’t had a checkup since 12 weeks and we haven’t seen or heard of the HV since he was 7 weeks old

yes, probably that’s why. In England it’s 12 months.
