Health visitor home visit second baby

Hi! I have the HV coming tomorrow, to my home to give me the red book and introduce themselves. I’m 36w and this is my second baby, first is 18 months. I never had this before- it seems a bit odd. Anyone know why they are coming? No safeguarding issues or anything social- just seems random and pointless 🤣

Toddler won't drink

Please help! He's getting so constipated but he just won't drink. I've tried everything from different cups, straws, even letting him have fresh OJ and AJ (he usually has water). Nothing is working... Has anyone else had this situation? What helped? 🙏🏻

Bathing

Ladies how often do you bath your babies. I bathe my boy every other day when he stays there for a bit longer and play with his toys and on the other days we do a quick bath when I just clean him and we are out within few minutes. I’m wondering as I spoke to a friend and she said she only bathe her kids twice a week.

Baby 💩

I’ve talked to the pediatrician a few times since this has been happening since we left the hospital, and he just says this is normal for BF babies and not to worry but it stresses me out, especially when she starts getting super fussy/in pain ...
