What’s on

This Paignton Baby Weigh In Clinic used to be part of Thriving Child at the Beehive but has now moved to the upstairs room in Paignton Library.

This is a drop in Well Baby clinic run by our 0 to 19 Torbay health visiting team and takes place every Wednesday, 1:30pm – 3:30pm!

This is a weekly group for parents with their babies (0-12 months) to attend and is based on offering specific advice and guidance for new parents.

Each week there will be a theme focused around your child’s development run by the family hub staff with breastfeeding peer supporters on hand to offer additional support.

No need to book. Just drop in!

If you would like support with infant feeding give us a call, contact our hub or email the team. This is for specialist 1 to 1 support from our infant feeding team for those experiencing problems with feeding.
