Baby and Me: The 3-4 month contact

In your Baby and Me session, your health visiting team will have shared simple, fun ways to support your baby’s development and relationship building through play and interaction. Topics like safety, child health, infant feeding, and looking after your own wellbeing are also discussed.

What did you think? Help us improve with your feedback

These groups are also a great chance to meet other parents/carers to talk about how you’re feeling, and learn about your baby’s development, like when to start tooth brushing and how to support their growing brain.

Hopefully you found the information useful in your session, but we understand it’s not always easy to take it all in at once. Below you will find where to go to for key information, as well as our developmental workshops.

Healthier Together: New Parent and Baby

Hampshire Healthy Families: Workshops and Courses

Don’t forget! Your next routine appointment will be the developmental health review between 9 and 12 months old.

Next steps: Most babies are ready to start solid foods around six months. If you’re thinking about weaning, visit Starting Solids.

 

ChatHealth Logo

Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS Foundation Trust runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called ChatHealth. The service operates Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens.

Should you require urgent health advice in the meantime, please contact your GP, visit an NHS walk-in centre or call NHS 111. For emergencies, dial 999 or visit A&E.
