Caelan's place in history books

AN EDINBURGH baby has become one of Scotland's first to benefit from a new national child health record.

Stockbridge couple Andrew and Allyson Naperotic, parents of Caelan Ross, were yesterday handed one of the first "Red Books" – the new Personal Child Health Record introduced for babies born in Scotland from the start of the year.

The manual is used by parents to keep a handy record of their child's health, with details such as immunisations, growth patterns and details of routine reviews.

Public health minister Shona Robison said: "The books also provides mums and dads with guidance on what to expect as their baby develops."
