another silly comment my hv made 'why are you waiting for that magic day to wean '

[rainbow83]

everytime i go for a weigh in (which is quite rare btw) i seem to have a mental rant about the comments my hv makes.

dd2 is 5.5 months old, on the 75th centile on bfeeding alone. instead of telling me how fantastically well i'm doing with exclusive bfeeding, she said 'you're not waiting for that magic day when they turn 6 months old are you to start giving her some food are you?'. aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I went to one weighing .... had similarly patronising, ill informed, smart arsed comments made, so I never, ever went again with any of my four.

Why are they like this FGS! It's like they can't bear for women to be doing well unless it's totally down to them. They have to find holes to pick. GRrrrrrr!

A good motto for Rainbow's hv would be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Rainbow was not complaining, the baby was well - why does hv have to imply that Rainbow is not doing excellently, superlatively well? I suspect the hv just spoke without thinking. Rainbow is doing something the hv is not used to seeing and was not thought to be the right thing a couple of decades ago.
