I've not been to see the HV with DS2 since he was about 5 1/2 months (hes now 9 mths). My lovely HV left when DS2 was 10 weeks and we haven't had the same on in clinic more than once (except 1 who I didn't like much).
Last visit we saw the nursery nurse and she basically decided DS1 had a speech and language problem by observing him talking to me for all of 3 minutes (she said she couldn't understand him...........which I'm not suprised as he was talking quietly to me). They also are obsessed with DS2 not following his centile line (but caould offer no other support other than feed him more....great if he will but he just won't/wouldn't but was a happy content little thing at the time). I did check with nursery and pre-school that DS1 wasn't having speech issues (they both laughed, his verbal skills are certainly not an issue!). So all in all they were pretty much no help and I left feeling like a crap mum.
When i was at work on Friday they called and spoke to DH to check all was ok as i'd not been there for a while?
I found this a bit odd as they are very under staffed and as far as i was concerned visits were not compulsory. Should I be worried?
