MUM Kirstie Slay has questioned new childhood obesity figures after health bosses said her three-stone son was overweight.
New NHS figures show of 1,311 reception year children weighed at city schools, 177 are overweight and 111 are obese.
Yet Miss Slay was stunned when figures given for five-year-old son Shawn Birch classed him as overweight.
The Rose Hill resident said Shawn ? who is 3ft 5in tall ? was a ?ball of energy? with a small appetite.
The 25-year-old said: ?I was shocked. It?s a struggle to get Shawn to eat as it is.
