My sister did this. Ended up on a ventilator and in hospital for 6 months nil by mouth. My parents and her husband said goodbye to her three times. Two years later and still having multiple surgeries she’s lost the weight and apparently wouldn’t change a thing. Madness.
My son was 98th percentile. HV said to change his portion sizes to the size of his hand. But to give him two cups of whole milk per day she booked me in for a weigh in to make sure his weight and height matched in three months time. I would be sent on a course if nothing changed (I’m a health professional and my child eats a balanced healthy diet). It triggered me. I kept a food diary. Go to his weigh in and different health visitor couldn’t understand why I was there. Didn’t look at food diary and discharged him immediately. Three months of stress and tears for nothing.
