My son was born January 2019. I'm a first-time parent.
His first health visitor had left to work in a different area when he was 4months old. I had not received a letter or telephone call from anyone to say who the new health visitor would be.
According to his red book/record book, he was supposed to have a check up at 8months, this never happened. His 13-15month one was done via telephone, this was understandable as covid had hit.
But now I have spoken to 3 different people with children of similar age to my son, and all three of them had had the latest check-up around 27months. Again my son has not had this and he is almost 29 months. I have also not been able to officially weigh him since March 2020 as no group settings have been in place.
I feel really let down by the health visiting team who are meant to support us.
