Earlier in the year we had a 2 year check for my daughter (actually years 4 months at that point). She's definitely not a small girl but active and sensible food (not but portions and healthy home cooked rather than junk etc)
The health visitor said she was obese based upon bmi (despite not taking her height) and she needed to lose weight. I fully understood the message but her attitude whilst saying it was rude and not overly helpful. Wouldn't listen about genetics (my mum and brother were massive when younger and now probably considered underweight.... Same on her dad's side too).
Fast forward 7 months and she visited our house today to do a weight check on my now almost 3 year old, despite her previous rudeness I let her come...
We have been making a conscious effort to lessen portions and also making sure she has a decent amount of exercise each day even though that as always what we had done. She now weighs the same amount as she did at the first check and is 102cm and not even 3 yet.
Health visitor firstly asked if she had made me cry after the last visit, I said no to which she said she makes lots of mums cry (almost boasting). She was condescending towards me and patronised me throughout. And kept pointing out she was still very overweight and the onus is on me.
She wasn't interested in me showing her the portion sizes and kept repeating you can have too much of a good thing!
She ctiricsed the vitamin drops I give my daughter (despite previously recommending them!!) and said its no wonder she is overweight with that much sugar. She also looked at my daughters nappy and said 'hmm... Not potty trained yet then?' even though we are doing it but she had just got home out of the car so had one on.
She then suggested coming back in 3 months to make sure I had 'stuck to the plan'.... I declined.
AIBU in thinking that her attitude is poor? Should I complain?
