Baby self-weigh facilities-Warwick District Children and Family Centre

Warwick District Children and Family Centre has ’self-weigh’ baby facilities.

For safe and effective use, the facilities are only for non-walkers up to a maximum age of 18 months.

Please note the equipment is placed on the floor for safety. Should you have any difficulties with accessibility due to this set-up please contact your C&FC to make alternative arrangements.

Before using the facility, please ensure you understand all the information and resources below:

Your local Children and Family Centre now have ‘self-weigh’ baby facilities available. You don’t need to book just Drop in when these are available. See the details in the Timetable of Warwick District CFC.

A Health professional is not available at the Self-weigh facilities. The ‘self-weigh’ facilities are for your own use as parents/carers to monitor the weight of your child and plot this in their Personal Child Health Record (red book). These self-weighing stations are in partnership with your Health Visiting appointments and will not replace any milestone and developmental checks that you will be offered.

The facilities are not for use where there is a health concern – in this circumstance we would recommend that you contact the Health Visiting Team for support/advice and an appointment when required.

If your baby was born prematurely (earlier than 37 weeks gestation) the Health Visitor may be monitoring their growth. Please talk to your Health Visitor to assess if self-weighing is the right pathway for you and your child.
