Took dd (7mo) to baby clinic for the first time in a while and because dh was keen to know how much she weighed. she's a big baby both in terms of weight and length. Plopped her on the scales to which weighing-woman cooed at her "oooh, have you been eating lots of Macdonalds?". Now, fwiw I have no problem with fast food as a treat if the rest of one's diet is healthy. But i have certainly never, ever given my 7 month old a Big Mac and fries. I know it was a joke, but there are healthy eating posters everywhere in the baby clinic room. Asked the hv if the weight gain was okay and she said dd needed more exercise and fruit and veg.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dd has just learnt how to commando crawl backwards and, imho, eats very healthily. And wiggles all the time! I was also told to reduce milk by offering yoghurt instead. (she has 3/4x 6/7oz bottles in a 24 hour period which I do not think is excessive. In fact she used to get a load of breast milk as well as that so she is cutting down).
Why??????????????? Why are these people allowed to do these jobs???????????????
AIBU to feel a bit peeved?
