hun, dont' worry abotu the MCHN - if you don't want to go and have no need, then don't. a lot of them "tow the line" on what is suggested - but there are a few good ones out there! mine was fantastic - i told her i wanted to introduce food using BLS methods - and she said it was refreshing to hear someone embracing it and letting DD guide us. she said BLS was the best sort of "lazy parenting" as it got your kidlet into sharing the family meal straight away. i have had no negativity from her about it at all

i only go to see her to get DD weighed and measured - everything else i'll go to the gp for
