Hi DrJen,
I did in fact already plot the Ht/Wt as that is so much of what we do  
at WIC.
The baby is waaaaay off the charts for weight vs height.  I then  
plotted on
the WHO charts and still really off.  Which is why I started second  
guessing myself.

Hey there,

Before you get angry, you might want to verify what the physician  
said.  =
And
perhaps plot the baby on the WHO curves.  And then if this was indeed  
wha=
t
the physician said, use this as an opportunity to educate the physician
about the curves and on oversupply, which this mom/baby pair probably  
hav=
e
going on.

This might also be a good time remind mom that we are all just "the  
hired=

help" and that maternal intuition is a powerful thing that should not be
ignored.  The advice of the others whom she has hired to help her, if  
not=
  in
line with her thoughts about her feeding experience, could easily be  
igno=
red.
