My HV is fantastic - she called out so many times near the start to help me try and breastfeed, got me loads of information and referred me on to a support group.
When I had a tough time coping last month, she got me details of a counselling service and wrote a referral letter to them so I wouldn't have to wait too long to see someone. She also calls out every week to chat to me and is pretty much the only person to reassure me that I'm doing a good job with my LO.
My GP is fine, but a bit out of touch with babies - I wouldn't ask him for advice on weaning etc, only on health issues. But he's been my family doctor since I was a baby and knows me well and is very supportive.
