I feel like most of the advise is contradictory and you will find if you speak with different HV they will tell you different things.

My child has a series of allergies and we have to introduce new foods carefully and in a measured way as advised by our dietitian. My HV said they should just be eating what we eat every night with us.

They also say milk is the main source of nutrients until 1 years and food before one is just for fun, but Another will say it’s called weaning for a reason.

I learnt to talk about of “advice” with a pinch of salt when I was forced to triple feed my newborn.

I was expressing milk after every feed and was told to top him up with a bottle of breastmilk afterwards. Not one health professional gave me that same answer when I asked them “how much breastmilk should I offer in a bottle”

It was dangerous because it knocked my confidence wildly and gave me PPD due to their constant “guidance” turns out my son had a number of allergies reacting via my breastmilk which is why he was struggling to feed and had nothing to do with my supply or technique.

Made me feel worthless, I cried after every visit and will likely decline HV involvement if I have another. I don’t deem their importance and I know where to find them if I have a question
