When Do You Stop...
...taking LO to get weighed? we stopped getting JJ weighed at 9 months because we were fed up of being told he was overweight, then he got weighed at his 12 month assessment and hasn't been weighed since...he'll be 15 months in 2 weeks and was thinking of getting him weighed again as he's been poorly and has lost a lot of weight, he's back into some 9-12 months clothes and all his 12-18 stuff is baggy...just didn't wanna take him to be told "what u doing here?" lol x

You know he's a happy, healthy boy so you shouldn't let silly comments put you off going - especially as he's so tall so he balances out xx
If you want to take JJ then take him, they shouldn't make you feel unwelcome - although beware it might make you broody when you see all the smaller babies there!

I used to go loads as she is so petite but hv told me off lol! I've never weighed her on our scales - she wouldn't stand still for long enough!
If he's been quite poorly and think he's lost a lot of weight I would take him tbh to see where he's at now. Can't do any harm can it?!!
There are usually the odd older children there too when we go. All they said to me was that once he turned 1the most I needed to take him was once a month
Barney was last weighed 4 months ago at his 12 mth check. Before that he was last weighed at about 5 1/2 months. I use our scales so I have a rough idea how much he weighs (if he won't cooperate I weigh myself first, then get on with him) but I figure he's clearly putting on weigh, he's healthy and happy so I couldn't give a monkeys how much he weighs. I'd also probably get a lecture for having such a heifer he's just under 30lb at 17 mths :O

We've not had a 12 month check, my hv are rubbish. ALthough I'll ask to get him weighed when he has his mmr but that's been postponed till the new year as he's been so poorly lately.
But when we were at the hospital the nurses did exactly what Bedhead does (weighs herself 1st etc, so that's what I've been doing to get a rough idea of his weight.
Totally agree with bedhead. He's happy and healthy so I don't give a monkeys right now. If he starts tucking into fried pizza and full fat coke then I'll worry, lol. Suz x
I also work full time now so its hard for me to take him, but I ahve friday off so taking him for his yearly then.
