Online help service for new parents

Parents with young babies may now benefit from a new interactive website  launched today to provide information to mums, dads and carers of babies aged five to eight months.

The website by the Department of Health, NHS BabyLifeCheck, covers all topics of development including talking and playing, feeding, healthy teeth, sleep routine and immunisations.

Health Minister Ann Keen said: “NHS Baby LifeCheck is a reliable source of non-judgemental, online information for parents and carers. It provides reassurance and advice about their baby’s health development, happiness and safety. It’s an easy way for parents to find out if they are doing the best thing for their child, whilst also supporting them to set goals or find further help to make improvements for themselves and their baby.”
