Bespoke Support for You and Your Family
The first few weeks of having a baby are lovely and cuddle filled but they can also feel overwhelming, with it taking a little while to find your feet. As your baby gets older you will get into the swing of things, then all of a sudden they have a development leap and everything changes! Your little person becomes a toddler filled with big emotions that they need help learning how to manage.
All these changes and milestones are wonderful to experience as a parent but each one comes with its own challenge. It's normal to have lots of questions about your child and to want reassurance.
Well Baby Clinic offers Private Health Visiting services across North Hampshire and West Berkshire. Appointments are offered in a clinic in Basingstoke, in your home or virtually. Jenny is an experienced Health Visitor and Paediatric Nurse, with specialist interest in infant feeding and sleep.
The service you receive is centred around the uniqueness of your child and family. During appointments we consider what is developmentally appropriate for your child and how we can best promote their health and development. The advice and information is evidence based and given within the context of supporting your child in having a secure attachment through responsive parenting.
