LifeCheck from NHS Choices
Parents can see how their baby is developing and get advice, help and reassurance with a new questionnaire available online from NHS Choices. Though the website warns this should not replace contact with GP’s and other health professionals.
NHS Early Years LifeCheck is for parents and carers of babies aged between five and eight months.
Early Years LifeCheck, is targeted at parents of babies aged between five and eight months old and poses questions to establish how well a baby is sleeping, feeding, playing, developing and how parents are managing these key areas.
There’s also:
- NHS Teen LifeCheck - for young people aged between 12 and 15 years
- NHS Mid-life LifeCheck – for people aged between 45 and 60 years
Parents have the option to find out more information or to be given further guidance.
The Government initiative is designed to address health inequalities. Local authorities have been awarded funding to promote it.
To access the questionnaire go to www.nhs.uk/lifecheck
