1, Please don’t tidy up, or even offer me a cuppa!

2, I ask families to show me their child’s Red book where I can look at centiles & weights.

3, I’ll take off my shoes and wash my hands when I arrive, please have paper towels or a new, clean towel for me. I also ask for a clean blanket or muslin to lie across my lap when I examine my baby.

4, Have any breastfeeding equipment handy. If you are using a pump, nursing pillow or even a herbal supplement, have them available so we can look at them together.

5, Information- I will be asking you how often your baby feeds for how long and how many poos and wet nappies each 24 hours your baby produces. .
