I have a health visitor coming to the house tomorrow. What should I expect?

My EBF 4,5 month old hasn’t had a bowel movement for 7 days. We tried massage, bicycle legs, prune juice, tummy massage and nothing has helped. Any suggestions? Thank you x

Just had my home visit from the health visitors today and oh my God she seemed so judgemental when I said I was formula feeding and that we use a dummy. Hope I don't run into her again!

Hey everyone I am a mum and a nurse who has taken the time out to write this amazing Ebook guiding parents through Colic.

Girls, what do you think about vaccines for newborns? Which ones would you get, and which ones wouldn’t you?

Anything you recommend to soothe a grumpy baby? Baby is waking more than usual in the night and I think he has tummy ache.

has anyone is here chosen not to vaccinate your children? if so i would love to hear your reasons why (in dms if you want, so it’s more private) i’m very on the fence about it even though my child has already had some vaccines and i want to hear from other moms who may feel the same

8weeks vaccines coming up soon and was wondering if people are giving their little ones calpol before hand or waiting to see if baby has fever after the vaccines? Was recommended by my sister to use calpol 2hr prior the vacation

Would yall let yall bd see the baby if he wasn’t doing nothing to help physically with the baby? Like don’t change her bath her make her bottles do her milestones with her basically the basic

Hey everyone, my MIL doesn’t believe in vaccines and even has used religious exemption to avoid ALL vaccines for her kids. My husband has gotten all the childhood vaccines on his own as an adult, but his sister has not had any. Our OB recommended anyone who comes into regular contact with the baby get a Tdap boo...

How many shots did your LO get at their check up and how did they respond? If they had symptoms afterwards how long did it last for them?

My son has finally been referred to an ENT for all of his ear infections and I could not be more happy. What should I expect on a first visit with them? What do they normally discuss at the first appointment? Picture of my sweet baby for tax. ❤️

My newborn girl has a tongue tie and despite two separate referrals from a doctor and midwife, we’ve still heard nothing regarding her tongue tie. Plus, she’s gaining weight really well so I’m fully expecting to be told that they won’t cut it as her weight is fine (I’ve heard NHS tend to say this regardless of how i...

I’ve now had 5 back to back nights of zero sleep. My 3 week old gets put down and wakes up as he is straining to do a poo and sounds like he is in discomfort and then starts crying very loudly. He poos regularly (2-3 times a day) so not constipated. We’ve tried colief drops, infacol, baby massages, bicycles, white n...

I’ll be honest, I am one of those mums who’s over the top with sterilising, washing hands and making sure no one kisses baby. But I really don’t know if I’m over reacting with this. I’ve had multiple issues with my GP surgery where they’ve touched my baby without consent etc bur I’ve never taken it further. Howev...
