10 month check

Anyone else feel like hv is there just to make you feel shit! Had 10m review today and got moaned at because she has cows milk and formula mixed as she wasn't drinking bottles anymore, got moaned at that she has 500ml not 400ml a day, got moaned at that she uses a straw cup not a 360 style, got moaned at for giving her a bottle on the rare occasion she wakes in the night because "she doesn't need it, just leave her", got moaned at because she has her milk in a bottle not a cup, then because she isn't put down fully awake and left,,, I feel like the list goes on! But I'm sorry she's my child and she's still a baby, if she wants milk from a bloody bottle to comfort her to sleep she will bloody well have it! And when asked if she has a dummy to which I replied no I got "well at least that's something!"

Sorry you had such a rubbish experience 😞 your HV sounds like an arsehole! Mine went ok, my HV was fairly young - I feel like the younger they are they tend to be a bit nicer/more understanding! Xx

If you get her again, request a different one. Could maybe put a complaint in. Ignore HV your doing a fantastic job xx

That’s truly dreadful and some of that is awful and out of date advice too. I would honestly complain if you feel up to it. Ignore them, that’s all absolute rubbish and you’re doing amazing xx

That’s all nonsense! I couldn’t have sat and listened to that, I’d put a complaint in as lots of the advice is just wrong, health professionals shouldn’t be advising you to ‘just leave her’ 😅 xx

I cant even get hold off mine to book the review. I haven't seen them since he was 6weeks! Its terrible how they are your doing an amazing job! Xx

My health Visitor done a 6 month check and said her next will be at 15 months 😐 x

@Chloe mines similiar! Said she’ll be back at 13 months, seen lots of people talking about 10 month checks and was confused 😂

These HV make me laugh, what an ass! I got told my lo should be taking around 25oz a day lol! You’re doing amazing x

i’m really sorry you went through this! What an absolute joke..You know your baby best and not all babies are the same! Some still feed to sleep (like mine for example) some are eating more solids and less milk and other way around and you cannot drop the milk to a certain amount bcse she’s saying so or because the books are saying that. The baby needs to be fed.Some of them are so useless there honestly..and some of them they even don’t have kids 😂
