This is my third baby.
Just had letter through to say hello I'll come to see you on x date at x time from health visitor.
HV assigned to me is irritating and make an extremely patronising comment about breastfeeding to me with Dc2 when doing newborn screening checks. Five years on I'm still annoyed I didn't pull her up on it. Luckily for her DP got rid of her. Her views on raising children are not in line with mine and are largely opinion based rather than evidence informed.
Mainly disengaged from service afterwards although did occasionally see them for reviews when pounced on in GPs waiting rooms.
Don't mind the HV assistant. She's lovely. Down to earth. Not judgemental and does't offer advice that's not needed.
The other two HV in practice are friends which is why I think I'm lumbered with the only other HV.
I really can't be bothered to do all the pleasant chit chat with her to be honest. Don't want her in my house. I'm sure she's got other families who actually need her help and intervention. Unless I have issues with this baby I'm only going to see her for the newborn screen at 10 days.
Am I being unreasonable to leave message saying. Hi Visit in advance of babies arrival not necessary. Please leave red book with reception at surgery for he to collect .......
