ok, so went to get DD weighed today and she is on 98th centile - her weight has shot up again after levelling off for a while
i asked them to measure her height as she is also tall and it would put weight into perspective, but the stupid HV refused
she then went on to say i should be worried about heart trouble in DD if she stays big (she is 18 weeks) and that i have to come back in 2 weeks because this all clearly needs keeping an eye on
i tried to explain that DH's family is very tall (i'm talking women over 6ft) but she only cared about DD's weight
so now i'm sitting here feeling rubbish wondering what the hell i'm supposed to do. she doesn't feed when she's not hungry and doesn't even finish every bottle. am i being unreasonable not to want to deprive her of food when she's hungry? and not to want to be made to feel like i'm setting her up for a heart attack or something?
