Dd2 is due for her 9 month check next week. I'm very much an 'Attachment Parenting' kind of Mum - so we co-sleep, breastfeed on demand... Dd2 is not interested in solids at all, she won't eat anything from a spoon, but will have finger foods, mainly to play with though. From my experience with the HV when dd1 was little I would guess that she will be quite aghast if I tell her the truth about how we do things - we didn't clash then because I was still trying to do it by the book then, whereas now I'm more confident and happy to do it my own way. I don't know what to say to the HV though - shall I tell her what she wants to hear to avoid confrontation? or be upfront about it, and just ignore any advice she might give? or shall I not go at all?
