Health visitor is coming over in half an hour but I haven't been able to get dressed or tidy up because little man keeps wanting cuddles/feeding. I hope she doesn't mind or judge me for living like a pig!
@may23, I think they visit under 19 year olds more regularly. If you tell them that you think you need more regular visits then they will come. They're there to help. my friends health visitor came to her house, made her a cup of tea, scrambled egg on toast. then told her to have a bath and go to bed whilst she watched the baby!
Really? Well my son is 2 weeks old and I've only seen 3 midwives and 1 health visitor. But I suppose it depends on where you are! If they visit everyday then awesome stuff! :) @may23
Thanks @jade_17 , but I've heard that for 2 weeks they visit you everyday!
@may23, they don't come every day but they're there for you when you need them :) there are a lot of free breast feeding clinics & you have at least 3 midwife home visits. You always have the support of other mums on this app too :)
Do they come home every day ? I am scared because I have nobody to help me so it would be great if they can come check on the baby and maybe help with the breastfeeding .
@tiasohi1, @tuftyturtle @essex-angel haha! She turned out to be the loveliest health professional I've seen to date!
Haha don't worry - I was in pjs , breastfeeding when she was there . They honestly don't care x
Oh don't worry. She would have seen all sorts. I had midwives come every day for two weeks and then the health visitor and I don't think I was dressed for any of them 😂
