I never did take much notice of the charts or HV's though when I was bfing DS as you only had to look at him to know he was ok!

You mean this ! This is quite well known isn't it. The second story is bloody scary though - apparently the pies I ate in pregnancy will make my KIDS fat!

Oooh more guilt, I'd better get a wheelbarrow to carry this lot round in

does it say they are crap and ignore them?

yes!

According to those new charts, my 9-month-old, breastfed boy is overweight at 9kg. How does that work then?
