OMG what a cow!!

Sounds like perhaps she should retire! Good on you for not taking any sh*te from her!

Yep Mel....she's probably overdue!!

OMG - she is suuuch a cow!!

Great weigh in!
Milla was the same weight at that age, although I expect shorter than your little guy, she was 11.25 at our last weigh in and is 82cm - so there is hope and definately sounds like Mum knows best for him to be gaining so well - Is it just the dietician you have to convince for the neocate ? We used duocal which is another calorific formula - but only for a wee while when we were waiting for surgery

I agree with the processed food thing entirely, but I cant get Milla to eat meat - only ham and luncheon -and beans - like kidney beans etc - you could try that too maybe

Yes I've had Judith since Alia was 6 weeks old & she know the differences between my two kids which is awesome, she is so helpful & supportive.

Cooper was 81cm a month ago. I think he did a big growth spurt just around the time of seeing the paed so he looked skinner than he was. All this bloody rigmarole is just because I wanted to give him a bottle of formula during the day! Mummy wanted a break!! I'm not sure who I have to convince. My GP is onside & is writing letters to the paed recommending he prescribes it. I was given 6 tins of it so that could actually last me almost 6 months, am wondering at this point just to flag the lot of them!

My ds didn't get his his 7-9 months checkup so they gave him an early 15 month old. We've never had any consistency either.

I don't like Judith, she didn't listen to me and treated me like a dumb young mum when I had Andrew. Didn't read anything that was sent to her about Andrew being in hospital after birth the fact we had to go back and the reason why I couldn't b/f him. I was so angry with her.

I think I know the old biddy you are talking about and she so needs to give it up.

Yay for a good weigh in Kel

Sounds like that Plunket nurse was being a right stickibeek.  Good that your usual one is on the ball. 

Oh yeah, some of the Plunket people need a right good kicking ...

We finally met our nurse on Izzy's fourth visit. We're on the North Shore and our nurse had been helping out in Waitakere before that and we'd had a different reliever each time, so no continuity at all. I don't really understand why they didn't just send the relievers to Waitakere and leave our nurse here? What is the point of disrupting two different areas? The nurse is great by the way, not complaining about her, just don't understand the organisation.

Don't get me started on the Karitane nurse though. She didn't even speak English properly for one thing, and all she did was read handouts aloud rather than saying anything useful. Then, we all turned up for our seven-month group ... but there was no nurse. So we left. We'd been let into the clinic by someone from the play group who then left the clinic, so I thought I better ring the Plunket Area Office to let them know that the clinic was unlocked. I told them what had happened, about the nurse not turning up, and they were like "oh yes, she's left Plunket now". Well would it have been too much trouble to call everyone to tell them the group was cancelled?!?!
