We don't have a problem with our health visitor. She's fine. But just not really of any use. We've had a few visits and she's asked us lots of questions, we answered even though it was stuff we'd already told midwives and doctors at other routine baby check ins. Then when we asked for advice she'd be a bit useless and say things like, it's really great that you are aware and thinking about problems like these. And we're like... Right... So what's the solution. And I'm talking about things like when to start nap routines and whether rocking to sleep was OK.
Anyway long story short, we will have our next meeting in a few months and life is busy and I'd really rather just not go. I will have to take time off work and it's just a bit of a waste. However I don't want to refuse an appointment and make them worry for my baby. Basically if they need to see him I'll bring him in and if this appointment is one they use to check him over medically then that would be really useful. However if it's just going to be asking us questions and then giving really basic advice that we've already heard and leaflets, then I'd really rather skip it.
Has anyone refused their hv appointment. Does it cause problems. I don't want him to miss an important screening if there is one. But I have so little patience with the appointments we've had so far I really don't want to go if I don't have to.
