So, we have an adorable cherub in our household. She has always been a bigger girl - 80th percentiles for height and 90-95 percentile for weight. She is honestly just dense - no rolls, just a belly. My husband was the same way as a young child. We had her 15 month checkup and our pediatrician (who is unfortunately a family friend) and he would not stop commenting about her weight. I know my daughter is chunky, and she eats plenty of vegetables and other high protein foods. We don’t feed her sweets - I am trying to raise her to have a better relationship with food than I did. He wouldn’t let up and just kept repeating the same phrases over and over, and then adding the “bikini ready” quip. No matter what I said, he wouldn’t listen. Body shaming my child is not okay in my book - but I wanted to reach out here to see if this has happened to anyone else. Is this normal conduct for a pediatrician?Thank you for all the insight you can provide! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OFU24P
