I have 2 older children and the things you are not supossed to do now is silly. It never bothered them so it won't bother Sam. I think my hv is scared of me now as when she tells me something I go and do the opposite.

Some of the changes are worth listening to but I think you learn to pick and choose what you feel is reasonable for you.
I make all my bottles up in advance, naughty mummy!!
I have had an issue with any hv's and md's. I have found that they are very forceful and always making one feel guilty. Yes to be forceful and give advice is the key. At the end of the day we will blame them fornot giving us the information in the first place.
But they tend to be very forceful and it's a turn off and I find myself turning off cause I feel like I'm being told off like a child. I am getting my baby a bumper. Cause she has been fine sleeping in my bed.
I think it's whatever you feel comfortable with. The same went for eating peanuts and allsorts of other things while pregnant.
I was made to feel so guilty about her birth weight being lost...when peadiatritions said it was normal.And md got a cob on cause I said I decided not to breastfeed. It was my decision......And she avoided me the next day.... And I had my own reasons so did not feel the need to explain myself to her....you get my here here!!!!
i do agree that hv's are here to help and i have a really nice one but i also think you need to use your on mummy brain when deciding what good and bad for your child.
