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

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.
