Has anyone else come across a HV advising the parents to give their baby a Chinese takeaway ??

My friend's sister has an 8 month old DS - HV just been round for the 8 month checkup and firstly told her off for pureeing his food - HV is obviously an advocate of BLW (which is great) as she said that the mother had to just give him bits and pieces on his highchair and let him pick. Which is fine but upset the mother a bit as apparently the HV was quite harsh with her about it and implied she was damaging her DS by only giving him pureed food

And then, she turned round and said that if the parents were having a Chinese takeaway, they must (and she did use the word 'must') let the baby have some aswell - is it just me or does that seem shocking advice??

Busybody HV if you ask me.

If you ask the takeaway to not put msg and salt in the food then they don't. Doesn't work with sauces that are already made up in advance though.
