Has anybody had any measurements other than weight taken? Or know when baby’s are meant to have like height, head circumference, legs measured?
I’ve seen a few people comment on the percentile of their babies in different areas. My baby is 15 weeks old and hasn’t had any of that.

We’ve had height, weight and head circumference taken each appointment with HV x
My baby didn't have her height measured until 8 weeks, I know people that gave birth around the same time as me and their baby did have height measured. But weight and head circumference were taken at birth x
I've only had weight taken, and the GP is the only one who measured her head at our 9 week checkup, not sure how normal this is
Same as Stella but at 8 weeks... he'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and never had height measured
We’ve had length & head taken at 6 weeks but that was it x
Height wasn't measured at birth but was from the first health visitor appointment (14 days) for us. Head circumference has been measured Everytime he has been weighed.
I only ever had height and head circumference done at 8 weeks and then at her year appointment with my first its just been weight at all other appointments. I have been measuring her length myself and I think if you ask they will do it when you see the HV
