Most doctors provide developmental reviews and immunisation themselves, or you can go to a child health clinic. Your child health clinic offers regular health and development reviews and immunisation for your baby or child. It s run by health visitors and doctors. At some child health clinics you can get baby milk and vitamins cheaper than in the shops. If you re entitled to free baby milk and vitamins, or to low-price baby milk, you may be able to get these at your clinic.
Clinics are good places to meet other parents.
Some run mother and baby or parent and toddler groups, and sell secondhand baby clothes and equipment. It can also give you information about local services. For example, if you want to change your doctor, your CHC will have a list of local doctors and may know something about them.
