Health visitor checking sleeping area?

I know it's normal for babies - to check for SIDS risks, but at the two year check? Never experienced that before! Is it just my area, NE England?

Going back a few years now but I've never had a HV check the sleeping area of any of my DC.

HV checks at 2 years in our area were at the Health Centre. So no, no check of the home at all. I went to two - primarily because they gave free books out. That had changed when I had my third so I didn't go. (Check was along the lines of....do you have any concerns? Anything you want to ask me? Great see you later....)

How odd, you don’t even need to have the 2 year check (or see a HV at all) I declined all of them, this is one of the reasons I found them too nosey!
