We were offered the BFing charts at our first HV meeting.

Our HV is a year older than us (so 32ish) and she is fab.  Very clued up on current recommendations/reflux/weaning advice and extrememly supportive.  Thank goodness!



I had a young HV at first and to me she sounded like she was reading from a book to me. Coz we all have textbook babies don't we LOL
OK LOOK NOW I MEAN BUSINESS LOL

National helpline details here. ABM and BfN currently running it. NCT declined but may change their minds in the future.
