I took Nicholas for a quick weigh today. I knew that my usual MCHN is on holidays, and that we'd be seeing someone else, but as it was just a quick appointment I didn't mind. Well, now I realise how lucky I am with my normal MCHN! This woman today really pi$$ed me off. There was a whole bunch of little comments that got to me, but the big one was when she asked me how many feeds a day Nicky has and when I told her 7-8 she said that was way too many and that he should only be having 4-5.....WTF?! I had tried to explain our background to her, but she musn't have listened. If I dropped him down to 4 or 5 feeds a day my supply would probably dry up! Not to mention he would be starving!

Apparently he *should* be sleeping through the night now, he's old enough. The inference being that I'm doing something wrong there

And I know my wonderful MCHN is going to be annoyed by this one, she told me and two other mums while I was there that we should be starting our kids on solids at 5 months. Now the usual nurse is always drilling into us that we need to wait until 6 months! She's not going to be happy when she gets back........

And I'm not happy either! How dare she sit there and tell me all the things I'm doing wrong with my baby. Sorry for the vent, I'm just so annoyed.
