Does anyone know what health visitor does at home? I had my baby 17 days ago at 36 weeks via emergency c section. We have been to our midwife appts and now have health visitor on Wednesday. I’ve heard they are really judgemental and I’m petrified. I’ve been struggling with breastfeeding and I’m on a feeding plan as she’s dropped just below birthweight again.
I don’t want a judgy health visitor making me feel shit in my own home xx

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
