I've recently had my second child and I've noticed a massive drop in the availability of the health visitor services in the city. It's very difficult to get someone to call you back and the number of visits has greatly reduced. No visit at all expected between 6 weeks and over a year.
With my first child, we had a supportive health visitor, and also benefitted from a group meeting at 4 months to discuss weaning preparation and a development review at 8 months. I've had difficulty getting advice for an issue with my 3 year old recently too. While I don't currently need any support, I think this decline in services is sad to see, particularly for first time parents in the city.
