Hi, Marit.

I don't think this paper criticises the charts - it makes the 
observation that because most UK infants are not fed physiologcally 
*more* of them will appear to be at risk of obesity, because of 
previous benchmarks for this.

This is a dilemma for the healthcare professional and the resarch, 
not a weakness of the charts.

It's been known for some time that the new charts (in use since 2009, 
IIRC) would give rise to this phenomenon.

We need a better way of assessing obesity risk.
