In Yokohama-shi, we carry out mother and child visit instruction (free of charge) by midwives for the purpose of various consultation, instruction about childcare and promotion of mother targeting at the first baby and the mother.
<Example of consultation and guidance contents>

• Are you giving your boobs?…Nursing, how to feed milk, etc.
• Is your baby's growth going well?…Weight measurement, weight gain status, etc.
• Do you use Health and Welfare Center well?…Childcare classes, infant health checkups, Vaccinations, etc.

Even if you do not wish to visit, you may be contacted and visit depending on your baby or mother's condition.

For babies weighing less than 2,500 g at birth, notification is required by the Maternal and Child Health Law, so be sure to submit a birth contact form.
A midwife or public health nurse from Health and Welfare Center will contact you at a later date.

Please submit this information to the Health and Welfare Center as soon as possible after birth.
