Baby Health & Safety

HI

Just wondering how often/many visits to expect over what duration? I've heard good and bad about the individuals involved, though I agree with the idea in principle. We have no such system where I'm from, so I'm curious about what is involved.

Please help.

Thanks!

HI,

Saw the health visitor today and T has only put on 3 oz in two weeks. He is entirely breast fed at present. Has a history of being a little underweight, but above the 9th percentile, generally following his own little line (apart from when we all had the norovirus).Health Visitor is putting me under pressure to give baby rice. T is not swallowing food yet, just playing. He is not six months till 15th Feb, but I am still feeding on demand mainly every 3-4 hours day and night. How do I get some calories into him and do I need to? Can/should I give him baby rice just on his tray?
How can I convince the HV I am not a loon? How can I get him sleeping 6 hours or so just to give me a break? He did sleep 6-7 hours before he had the norovirus the week before Christmas.

Please help.

HI,

Okay, so when I first heard the phrase "health visitor", I thought wow, that's really cool -- they send a nurse around to your house after you have a baby, reassure you your baby is fine, ask how you're doing, maybe make you a cup of tea and a scone (okay, maybe not the last part). But the more I hear the more it sounds like a nosy neighbor telling you what it was like when she had her kids back in 1979. And then it sounds like they don't even come to you? How is that a "visitor"?So clearly I'm totally confused. Can someone explain what a health visitor is and what they're supposed to do?

please help

My 16mth old bites everything and everyone. I know he understands the word "no" as he stops what's he's doing in other situations when we say it. But not with biting...he looks at you, smiles, and chomps! Please help!
