A woman has asked other concerned mothers for advice on how to handle a hurtful letter that her daughter was sent home from school with. The woman was upset to receive a letter from her daughter's school that said she was very overweight.
The woman told MumsNet that even while she was pregnant her daughter was always in the 98th centile for weight but she said the issue is with her weight and not her height. The mum said her daughter had maintained the 98th centile for weight consistently while she was breastfed up until she was six months old which was applauded until that point. However, after six months the health visitors began making a "big deal" out of her weight.
Now she's at school, the mum said her daughter came home from school with a letter saying "she's very overweight." You can get more stories like this by subscribing to our newsletters here.
