Health Visitor

Hello I have the health visitor coming around tomorrow morning. What do they do in the visit? I remember them coming round for my first but can’t remember what they talked about or how long they were here, just that they did baby checks. I didn’t see them before giving birth, this time, they just sent a letter.

Baby poop

Does anyone know what causes green poop in babies? I'm getting worried. Our girl is 9 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. But in the last week keeps having green poop. She did have her vaccines last Tuesday so don't know if it's related to that? (Picture in comments)
