Barnabé the health record cover

The personalised health record cover keeps the record in good condition, well protected so it lasts a lifetime. It is a accessory that comes in handy everywhere for medical appointments… so it may as well be beautiful too!

The baby health record is given free of charge at birth, most often at the maternity ward. If that is not the case, it can be requested from the family doctor or the local maternal and child health centre (PMI).

In France, it is generally the maternity ward that issues the health record at the time of birth. Otherwise, a general practitioner, a paediatrician or the maternal and child health centre (PMI) can provide it.

The health record is not legally mandatory, but it is essential in practice: it serves as the reference for tracking vaccinations, medical visits, and growth charts. It may be required at nursery, school, or when travelling.

In France, the standard format for a baby health record book is 16 x 22 cm. That is why all our covers are designed exactly to this size.

No, it is simply the textile cover. You slip the baby health record booklet provided by the maternity ward or your doctor inside it.

No, our personalized health record book covers are designed exclusively for French health record books, in the 16 x 22 cm format. They are not suitable for booklets issued in other countries, whose dimensions may vary.

From birth, of course! The personalized health record holder is often given as a birth gift, as it is used from the very first days… and for many years to come!

Yes! Each Petit Picotin baby health record book cover can be personalized with a first name, a nickname or a sweet little message. A lovely touch that makes it unique and precious.

You can of course slip in the health record book, but also prescriptions, the health insurance card, or supplementary insurance papers. Everything is kept in one place, neatly organized.

Our models are designed for the 16 x 22 cm format, the standard size of health records issued at birth in France. Thanks to their flexible structure, they easily accommodate medical documents without damaging them.
