RE: Finally said no!

Very good for you! I think this nurse clearly had no idea what she was doing because a basic advice for a new mother is normally given is not to compare her child with other children. The same goes for charts. They usually show a median line, some kids are below, some are above, but they're all OK.

Thanks very much, I agree - we shouldn't be comparing children with others. I hope that the nurse realises what impact her words have on new mums. I would have said something to her at the time, but as I mentioned I'm a bit pathetic when it comes to that kind of thing! At least she knows we won't be back and we're moving on.
Thanks for commenting.
