    My gf brought our 4 week old daughter to the the doctor with a small problem that turned out to be nothing really. The visit only took a few minutes and nothing was carried out by the doctor. He proceeded to charge €45. Somebody has told me he was not supposed to charge for the baby's visit. Can anybody tell me if that is true? Thanks

    So it depends on how many vists you have had.

    Thanks for that but could the visit I mentioned be counted as the 2 week visit?
    From that website:
    "The first visit is when the baby is two weeks old, and the second is at six weeks. The visit at two weeks is primarily to re-establish contact with your GP and to see how the mother and baby are getting on."
    - This didn't happen. Unless the nurse calling to the house after a few days counted as that? But I dont think so.
    There has been no GP visits so far up to this.
