Nina,
Wonderful points. When THE WALL comes down I will talk with her
again. You bring up some wonderful points. I did give her the
statement from the International Academy of Pediatrics but she was
not impressed. Thank you for reminding me about the AAP policy
statement. Now I just have to be patient. We'll see if the AAP will
come on board and how long it will take. Many of the Peds just
changed their growth charts to the CDC ones and do not want to change
again (my doctors words!).
