Carnet de Sante - baby


TroisChatNoir

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I get one of these for my four and a half month

old please? I keep being sent to different places and am getting

nowhere fast! My local mairie advised the mairie in La Chatre who

advised the mairie in Chateauroux ... it seems to be getting further

and further away. The doctor here has happily given her the necessary

vaccinations etc but in England I was taking her for regular weight

checks etc and I don't know if there is an equivalent to our health

visitors? I have a Carte Vitale - no problem - why is this so difficult?

I use the Red book here for our youngest(aged nearly 9 ) without any problems , the doctor is always happy to fill it out if she has a jab or general medical, ie weight,eyes etc.  Our eldest doesn`t have a red book, they didn`t exist when she was born  (now 13 years old) , when she had to have some jabs updated her, the Doctor gave me a carnet in which her immunisations are listed.

my baby was born in France but i've got a friend who just uses her book that the uk gave her and the doctor completes that.

There aren't health visitors as such but theres a PMI who usually are in the phone book, they are free to go and see and My little one has his check ups there and any questions I have I ask the doc, its not for emergency care though, for that it's the gp

We got ours for our youngest when he was born here two years back, they gave it to me in the hospital. Otherwise you could request one at the family clinic, they simply copied the info from our 4 yr old's red book into the french version.
