i went to get dd2 weighed today. she is now 13months old and weighs 32lb 8oz. the Hv started going on about her diet, telling me i should watch what she eats etc, so i asked her to check her height as well. she is 83cm tall now, which puts her off the charts for her weight and height. she has been off the chart since 5months old for her weight, and went off the chart for her height at 5months as well. they have advised me to keep a food diary of what she eats and see the doc about her weight. they said she should only have 20ml of milk a day, and cut back on her yoghurts (she only has one a day). if she wants more fluid to offer water or water down her milk. i am annoyed at them, as they can see that she is in proportion for her weight and height, they are only concerned as she has jumped more that two percentiles since she was born (91st percentile, weighed 9lb at birth). has anyone been thro this?
