im dreading it! she only phoned me because A&E sent her a slip saying georgia had been up getting her splinters out! She drives me mad, last time she came up i had to tell her about downs which i dont think is reasurring considering shes there to give advice etc plus she came to help with the dla form and started giving advice on behaviour problems (georgia doesnt have behaviour probs!) I dont even know why shes coming tomorrow i said we didnt need her but she made an appointment anyway. do any of you no how u go about changing your health visitor?? we did have a nice one but she left

we havent seen joshua's hv since his 18 month checkup!! we were told that seeing as we have a SNHV and we have portage and physio we are least likely to be seen by a Hv as there is not enough HVs to see all the kiddies in our area and that joshua has enough of a support network around him!!
but we have been told that if we need any advice then we can call them up!!
Josh is 21 months old now - before his 18 month checkup we hadnt seen his hv since before christmas! joshua's old HV ( who was also my 19y/o brothers HV) has now retired
also we had to take josh to a&e about 2 months ago (missing battery) and we didnt hear anything from any health visitor
i would put her in her place - at the end of the day whatever they say is advice.. they can not do anything - unless obviously the child is in serious danger

my health visitor used to "advice " me till i found out she didnt even have children and i was on number 4 , she since has had her own child and has even apologised to mums because she now realises it aint all text book..... yes you can change your health visitor just like you would change your doc if you werent happy...

well it went better than i was expecting she seemed 2 actually of got it in her head that georgia has downs! she was shocked she could count to 5 and that she knows her abc. she can see georgias doing well so shes happy with her progress etc and is going 2 chase up her heart appointment that we were meant 2 have in MAY!! and we've missed the heart doc as he comes over every three months so looks like shes not going to see him now till november!
