She's in proportion though isn't she? I thought she was just big all round? Who's checking her?

What are they planning to do if she's too tall - cut her feet off???? If she's in proportion, then of course she'll weigh more. Hope you don't get given the diet!! Smile

she is totally in proportion, its the fact she was off the charts last time she was checked that they now want to see where she is.

This si new Health visitors, so they need to see her anyway to sort out 2year check. if they feel there is cause for concern with her height/weight then they may send me to the gp's with her. oh the joys!!

HV/GP won't be able to do anything. I suppose they might refer her if they think it might be hormonal but if I was you would be cross if they suggest a diet.

well that went very well Smile
met the new HV, he was nice Grin

dd2 is now back on the charts for height, still off for weight, but he said theres nothing to worry about. when i mentioned what the last Hv said about putting her o na diet, he said 'well she shouldnt have said that' and said dd2 is perfectly in proprtion.
