Hey ladies, hope everyone's okay. For context, my husband and I are of brown heritage with visibly brown names.

We're expecting a baby in November and had our first health visitor call in August. I've built a lovely community of mums on this app who are mostly white, and asked around to know whether they had had / were having health visitor calls as well. Strangely they didn't /hadn't had any contact from a HV. I've just heard from a non-white mum-to-be that they were having a HV call as well.

I may be paranoid but do HVs target non-white parents in particular as we've had different upbringings abroad? Trying to make sure we know how to bring babies up the right way? Perhaps they think we'll beat and gaslight them the way foreign parents born in the 60s did (of course we won't!!)

Sorry for the rant but I'd like to know if anyone else has suspected or experienced this from HVs (or is it just my paranoia?) thank you x

Hi All I’ve been in here since before I had my little one but haven’t been able to make any mum friends to meet up with or attend groups etc with. My little girl is now nearly 8 months old and I’d love for her to have some little friends she could see now and again. Does anyone have any groups they attend that they think would be good for both me and her to meet new people etc.

Thank you 🩷

Just wanted to recommend the pavilion on the park sensory group (by places leisure). It’s super quiet, well equipped and only £5 for 2 hours! My little one had a blast 🥰 the group is on a Friday at 10am-12pm.

Any reviews? Advices, complains, notes? Is it clean? Where to leave pram?
