Happy Healthy Tots, which is available through the Right Decisions app and online, gives information on a range of subjects to support new parents, including the Health Visiting Service, feeding your child, parental health and wellbeing, your child's health and emotional wellbeing, Family Nurse Partnership and local information.

Health Visiting team leader Laura Gordon who came up with the idea, which has now been launched by NHSGGC with input from all six Health and Social Care Partnerships covered by the health board, said: ‘We are delighted to launch our Happy Healthy Tots app and website which has been designed with the needs of parents and families in mind.

‘It brings together all the information traditionally given to families in leaflets and so much more by using videos and a greater content of resources.

‘The app means they will always be able to access the advice at a touch of a button, which will include local resources.

‘Having this information housed within the app also means we are able to keep it fully up to date, easily accessible and user-friendly to all.'
