just want to check my facts!
I was at the hospital last night with my almost 1 yr old dd. Paed doc was looking through her red book and asked if the hv had talked to me about overfeeding her when she was a baby (she was in 98/99th percentile til about 7mths). i explained she was ebf until 6mths so surely that wasn't possible. Doc said that the hv still should have talked to me about it. dh is v tall, i'm above average, both of slim-ish build and I put that to her as a reason that dd might just end up tall like us. Doc was adamant that it should have discussed in a 'serious' way. I changed the subject at that point because it was taking her focus away from the reason we were actually at the hospital!
So, am I wrong or does the doc need educating?
Oh, and they're still asking 'did you have a normal or c-section birth' but that's for a different thread!
