While this makes complete sense, she was at the appointment. She met hubby and her son there. Even if I thought she didn't, I really can't question whether or not she was telling the truth. If she says Dr said something then I have to take her at her word. I find an increasing amount of Dr's are saying the strangest things these days with regards to early childhood. She herself thought it was ridiculous but then in the next breath wants me to do as the Dr says. I told her I would continue to offer water and she was fine with that. I don't provide milk anyway so its not like I have anything to substitute it with and he already doesn't drink milk here at all. We discussed how big his appetite was and that filling him up with milk every time he is thirsty is not the best way to keep him well hydrated without it potentially having a negative impact on his appetite. This kid eats like a horse and anyone who would see him would agree that there is no issue with his sizing or weight. Not even low percentile, just perfectly average. That doc is nuts!!
