I feeling overwhelmed at the moment, I have a lot of questions, I know I should go to my health visitor but I don't because of an incident earlier in the month, I am a bit annoyed at her, I know she can't help it but a phone call asking how it's going and a bit of advice. At the start of the month my daughter got gas really bad, to the point I had to go to the doctor's, they did nothing, so I called my health visitor, she was busy but the lady on other end tried to help and said she should call back the next day, I waited all week on the understanding she's busy but that was like the end week if June and still she hasn't called, I sorted the problem out myself. But now I got more questions and I don't have any trust in her, so what would everyone else do with what I am asking....
Can I take a month old baby away for about a week in the UK, for context my husband sometimes has to work away for his job, it's usually no more than a couple nights away, he was on the understanding that they know he's got a newborn and were trying to keep him local but he has three jobs in Scotland, from Wednesday to Friday, then the next Monday to Wednesday a job in Newcastle, his plan is for me to come up Thursday till the next Wednesday, I have family in Scotland and are in the right area to see them and he doesn't want to leave me alone for that length of time, he could go to Scotland and come back at the weekend but whats the point when Newcastle is on Monday and the job starts early, I don't know what to do, I would travel by train, I am ok with this but is it safe because she hasn't had any injections, she would only see a few family members and I am planning to stay in the air b n b for most of it, I don't know what to do, what would everyone else do....

You can take your baby outside and on the train. I know some mum don’t like leaving the house when they have a newborn for fear of infection, but other mums don’t do this and live life as normal. Both sets of children are completely fine.

Hi, we travelled in uk with our baby from 2.5weeks old due to husband working away. If I was you I would probably drive down with husband (if that’s an option) I didn’t feel comfortable with public transport until my baby was around 3 nearly 4 months old due to all the people and unclean areas etc

You absolutely can, it's your preference. I personally would be more vigilant about hygiene as much as I can pre-vaccinations and maybe antibac surfaces etc but it's up to you what you would like to do and how you manage it. But it's your baby and you can go away of you want to 😊

Yes of course you can ☺️
