Having a baby in Glasgow what should be on my checklist?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Plan maternity care with your midwife or NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and check what to pack for hospital, travel and feeding. Arrange essential items such as a safe sleep space, car seat, nappies and suitable clothing, and ask your midwife about Scotland’s Baby Box. After the birth, register it with Glasgow City Council within 21 days and apply for any support you may qualify for, such as Best Start Grant payments. Check NHS Inform, mygov.scot and Glasgow City Council for current guidance, as local services and eligibility can change.
