Sucking to poo

Swear baby is not actually drinking milk some of the time. She proper tugs and pulls on my nipple and then other times will just suck lightly until she pops or farts. Anyone else had this? Also I thought breastfed babies couldn’t get constipated?

9-12 month health visitor appointment

Do you have to contact your health visitor to arrange this appointment or do they contact you? I’ve not had any contact with them since my last appointment around 4 months old so am unsure on how it works.

Probiotics

Does anyone give their baby probiotics? I've seen Optibac for 0-12 year olds. My little girl has been suffering with oral thrush for ages and it just won't go so I was thinking maybe starting her on some probiotics and just putting it in her milk in the mornings?
