I remember it was snowing when my baby was new born and had just dozed off with her sleeping on my chest. DING DONG ...oh its the the health visitor, no call to say she was coming? turned up because of the snow and she had so many people on her books she was going around now to see everyone now. explained i had been seen someone else the previous week and she couldnt wait to get back out the door after that. I also told another health visitor my main concern was my babys ears ( husband partially deaf) and we had not had a hearing test in hospital. was given the wrong number for newborn hearing checks. rung the midwives at kings who were brilliant and got a test sorted for me. Went to the weighing in clinic waited an hour and a half the first time round. if i had private questions for the health visitor i wouldnt have felt comfortable asking them in a room full of other people? havent bothered going back whats I can weigh the baby at home. I personally think the idea of a private health visitor in the area might be a good idea due to the poor experience many people have had around east dulwich. would you do home visits?
