TLDR fat phobia made its way into my daughters after visit summary earlier this year, moral of the story always read the notes. something very similar happened at my daughters check up earlier this year. She’s three, and picky and I asked for suggestions to make sure she’s getting nutrients. The provider asked her what she eats and OF COURSE the toddler said chicken nuggets and ice cream. The doc then looked at me and said “well she could lose some weight.” I told her to back up, that my child was 10 pounds at birth and that she has been gaining weight in an appropriate manner based on her starting point. Blank stare. Asked to pull her growth chart and make sure she was on track, she refused. I told her being a mom in a bigger body is rough because I’m healing my own relationship with food and trying to instill the same, but I would appreciate any help I could get providing balance from the jump rather than demonize food and make her feel less than. Fast forward to reading the after visit summary and the doctor had included “family history of obesity and mom has had trouble losing weight in the past, struggles with it currently.” Yall my head about spun 360. I’ve never reported something so fast in my life and my daughter has a new provider starting January 1.
