I am 36 weeks FTM, expecting first visit from health visitor today. Any pointers on what they’ll be looking or asking for ?

It's just an introduction to their services. So they'll tell you what they can support with, maybe give you some leaflets. Sometimes they might ask to see where the baby is going to be sleeping

Oh don’t worry about it mine was a disaster, my house was a literal building site, my dogs were play fighting for half of it - one was 50+kg and the other half of the meeting the big dog insisted on trying to sit on the woman on the sofa 🤦♀️🤣 and the only way I could identify the location of there little support centre place was, was by saying oh is that by the vineyard! And in answer to her questions, do you have any family locally - no! Oh where are they? My parents are 3 hrs away and my in laws are dead wasn’t quite what she was hoping for! It was actually laughable, I was sure I was going to end up on a list somewhere!

Ohh don't worry about it. They coming to help you and give some advice not to judge you or anything like that. They asking some general questions about you, your mental and physical health, offer some help if you need any, about your partner and his feelings about everything. Its really like a normal conversation.

My boys are 13 months apart. They are 9 and 8 but my 9 year old is in clothes between 10/12 and 14s depending on brand and my 8 year old is in size 8s. But I keep catching my 9 year old wear his brothers clothes then it’s a fight with him and he doesn’t want to take them off I literally have to take them off of him myself and make him put his own clothes on him.
How do I stop this?
Also they share a room and I separate their clothes the best I can.

Baby is 10 days old and cries so bad every time we change his nappy, is anyone else’s little one the same?
Is there anything we can do to try and calm him down?

Has anyone used a sleep consultant that they would recommend? I want to try and help my baby (nearly 11 months) to sleep better at night before I go back to work in November. She wakes multiple times and after almost 6 months of this I could really do with some better sleep too 🙏🏻

I just fed my 5 week old some formula ( 110ml ) and normally he burps well but he didn’t so I thought it’s fine. Put him down and he kind of projectile vomited some of the milk, made me panic. I picked him up and tried to burp him, he looked so uncomfortable but eventually settled and now I’m sat up in a chair scared to pop him down! Does that happen to many of you? He’s fast asleep now snoring away ( he snores normally )

Hi my 15 week old is exclusively formula fed. I am on maternity leave and my husband works ft mon-fri. I do all night feeds and changes including weekends and when my husband takes days off as annual leave. Is this normal? Who does the nights for you? My baby usually wakes 2-3 times. At weekends he will usually take her from like 7am so I can sleep an extra hour or two upstairs. Sometimes I feel annoyed that he never even offers to do a night even at the weekend but maybe it’s normal for mum to do it … I appreciate it would likely be different for breastfed babies. Thanks.
