Welcome to Birth & Beyond
- you can find your local baby clinic and details
of classes as well as help and support for you and your new
baby.
Having
a new baby gives rise to many questions and
concerns. By going to see
a health visitor at your local baby clinic you
should be able to find much needed support,
understanding and reassurance - you can even find out your baby's weight!
Do
you get copies of KidAround at your local baby clinic?
If
not, please ask your health visitor to contact us -
copies of the magazine can be distributed FREE of charge
directly to your health visitor. Contact our
distribution manager for more details.
