[ozmidwifery] Weight watching

[Aviva Sheb'a]

My favourite soapbox topic...Bub has to put on weight or there's this huge guilt trip. Then when s/he puts on weight later in life, whether it's teens, earlier or later, and goes over the skinniness of models' photos then all of a sudden it's another guilt trip. Can't win, so don't play! Aviva   Kirsten is correct when she mentions about the percentile charts - they are (appaulingly) correlated to 200 American bottle fed babies years back and their resulting growth patterns. I had this confirmed by a nutritionist from the womens and childrens in Adelaide not so long ago
