I don't think my HV is measuring my DD correctly. My DD was 57 cm born (just over 10 weeks ago) they measured her at the hospital when they weighed her. At my 6 week check with the HV she measured her on a mat that didn't look like it measured her straight and she said that she was 56.5cm now I'm no medical expect but I'm sure you can't shrink when your meant to be growing. I asked my doctor about it at the 6 week check she told me to get her to measure again as that didn't sound right but didn't measure DD herself. The health visitor came round the other day I told her what had been said at the 6week check and she measured DD at 58cm at just over 9 weeks old. When we had measure her at 61cm our selfs. The HV is writing all this down in her red book and I believe it to be incorrect information. I have told her this but she doesn't seem bothered. Is there anything I can do as I don't want someone else to measure her and get it right and think that she has abnormal growth because the HV isn't getting it right
