Blakes Pharmacy is an independent, locally owned pharmacy at 18 Darlinghurst Road, caring for Potts Point, Kings Cross and the inner city. We have been part of this community since the 1960s, and our pharmacists bring particular experience in compounding, sexual health, specialist medicines, vaccinations and finding hard-to-source medicines. We are open until 11pm Monday to Friday and until 9pm on weekends, so you can see a pharmacist when it suits you. Whether you are collecting a script, booking a vaccination or asking about an everyday health concern, our team has time to listen.

A quick check using calibrated scales so parents and carers can monitor their baby’s growth between visits to a GP or Maternal and Child Health nurse.

It’s quick, free, and requires no appointment — just drop in whenever suits you.

Here’s what happens during your visit:

• Walk in during opening hours — no appointment necessary.
• A staff member weighs your baby using calibrated scales.
• You receive the result, and a growth-tracking card if available.

How often should I bring my baby into be weighed?

This depends on your baby’s age and anyadvice from your Maternal and Child Health nurse or GP — many parents findfortnightly or monthly check-ins useful in the first year.

Do I need to book?

No, walk-ins are welcome, though callingahead is fine if you’d like to confirm a time.

Can pharmacy staff tell me if mybaby’s growth is on track?

For any concerns about your baby’s growthor development, a Maternal and Child Health nurse or GP is best placed toassess and advise.
