Been to get my 8 month old DD weighed at the Health Visitor clinic...and feeling like a complete and utter failure.
This is the 3rd or 4th time they've told me that she's overweight.
She still will not entertain BLW -
she doesn't even put any toy in her mouth (soft ones occasionally, but that's it) - she's more than happy to be fed (anything) but HV said feed an ice cube amount per meal (3 x per day) then moaned she was still having milk. A friend (same HVs) was told to keep feeding her baby food until he turned away!
It's just so frustrating that they say one thing and then another...and keep telling me DD is fat. We go to baby class with babies that have rolls on their rolls...yet we are the fat ones :(
She is 98th centile for weight and 99.5th centile for height.
I'm just having a moan as yes she's heavy...but she's also tall but they solely focus on weight and take no notice of anything else. DD was born on the 9th centile which adds to their argument - DD was measuring small so I was induced early as she wasn't growing, but again they don't take any of this into consideration, just that shes shot from the 9th centile to the 98th :( . I just feel that they don't look at the bigger picture.
Sorry, just feeling low about it and needed a rant.
