Health visitor

They check you have all the information you need to keep your baby safe and well. They ask things about if you know about safe sleeping, how is baby feeding, etc. Don’t listen to judge, more to give you the information if you don’t have it. But because they ask questions about do you know about this and that it can feel a bit judgemental.

Mine was lovely! She weighs and measures them, and just checks they are safe sleeping and everyone is safe at home. My house was a DUMP after I had mine and she had no judgement at all x

Mine was really nice. But they came to my house a week after birth. I then came to them at 6 weeks.

This isn’t true. It’s their job to support you with a new baby and if you feel judged by your health visitor I’d be requesting a different one.

I had very good experience with health visitors with my first very helpful not judgemental at all ..
They were great for Mental support and advices

All the health visitors I’ve met have been lovely. And they’re there to offer you support too, as well as baby.

Thanks girls, makes me feel better, I think as she’s lost weight after doing so well I already feel like I’m failing I dont want to be made to feel worse. Hopefully I have a good experience as so far the midwives I’ve seen have been incredible xx

Mine was lovely! Just weighed the baby and he was loosing weight too but she was non judgy 🥹 and made sure i was taking care of myself after c section . I was stressed before but really it was quick and sweet . Hope it’s the same for you x

My health visitor was amazing and so kind. My baby was also not gaining weight back well and we'd been given extra visits from the midwife and health visitor but each time they were really kind. With my first baby the HV was useless, not mean but just couldn't answer any of my questions.
