Rubie had hers today, eventually!!
Walked 20 mins in the pouring rain to the doctors, only to be told that the appointment is at the health centre right near my house!
So I had to walk all the way back in the pouring rain and was late, but it was ok cos Hv had a cancellation after me so we had loads of time.
I had a student HV but she was really lovely.
Rubie is doing great, developmentally and physically, I'm so proud of her
The best bit was when she said, "you can tell she really loves you by the way she looks at you" and "you must spend a lot of time playing with and talking to her"
I asked about her eating habits and about her not having much of an appetite for solids, and she said it's not a problem as they don't need food for nutrition at this age, and her milk will be fine. But to keep perservering and letting her taste food or she may not accept it later on.
I feel so much better now, my baby is happy and thriving and I was made to feel like a good mum, despite my earlier issues
