Either HVs are on mums' backs, having a go at them about their babies' weights, or they don't get in touch at all.
I just had a call from a HV about our 4.5yo reception-age DD2, worried that they hadn't done a 2y check on her and could I go and have one done please?
I'm afraid I burst out laughing and said 'um...no...she's 4.5 and doing absolutely fine, thank you'.
What is the point of HVs? I've only ever encountered a handful of good HVs who actually do the job they're mean to do in the way they're mean to do it. Doesn't this mean that the HV system just doesn't work?

To think the HV system is completely crap and doesn't work?
