we've just come home from DS's one year HV check. DS has alwiays been a big baby and today he measured the 99th centile for both weight and height.
HV told me he was overweight and I should restrict his food intake. I told her I wanted to talk to the GP about this as I disagreed with her and she told me "he should be no higher than the 80th centile, you're clearly overfeeding him its obvious you don't need the doctor to tell you that".
I politely told her Id seek a second opinion scooped up DS and walked out.
Had his weight and height been substantially out of proportion I may have engaged but I don't think there's a problem. AIBU?
