Whaaaaa! That's truly awful!
you should consider reporting him.
I wanted to write a letter of complaint for months afterwards and I wrote down everything he said to me over the space of 6 months but then I just thought too much time has passed, and I am seeing a very understanding paed now. Someone has since told me the only way that doc gets patients is after he sees them when they are in the hosp and he says they have clicky hips. The only reason I kept seeing him was because my dd did have hip dysplasia and I didn't want to get lost in the system waiting months to get into another paed. I was lucky that at our last appoint when I ran sobbing out of there he had told me her hips were good.
IT doesn't matter how much time has passed. If you're up for it (and you've already started noting things down) then do it.
I agree with MadB. If you want any help, or want someone to read over your complaint, don't hesitate to ask.
take care
Razzberry - that is awful!! Please make the complaint. Is this dr still treating people?? He should not be allowed to say the things he said to you. Please don't let him continue destroying mums' confidence and possibly babies' health with his stupid ideas. Make the complaint!!!
I am also happy to have a read before you send it off.
Ditto hun! Complain for sure because the ******** might do it to someone else. To think that guy is giving out advice to new parents on a daily basis:
I was told that I should wean my son because my daughter wouldn't be getting enough. I could only laugh because my daughter is a little chubby princess, and I'm also expressing and donating milk to other babies. But apparently I don't make enough? Lol!
All I can say to this thread is hahahahahaha
funniest thread ever
To revive an old thread, I was told the other month that
breastfeeding my 18month old DS still is the reason he bites........ hmmmm, two weeks later his ff cousin was biting but no comment was made....
DISCLOSURE: I have nothing against formula feeding
Urgh. The things some people say (can they possibly believe this crap?)! It's so sad :(
I expressed concern to DS's old GP about his slow weight gain when he was about 10 months old. He basically told me that he (DS) seemed fine but I should put him on formula anyway, just to be sure. Uh, no I don't think so.
Then we found a new GP.
Razzberry- I agree you should complain, :( it's so wrong that he is telling mothers that kind of thing, he shouldn't be practising. :hug:
I was totally struggling with BF when my DS was about 6 weeks old. He was gaining weight but VERY slowly. My stupid GP told me to totally abandon BF and feed formula. I asked if I could dual feed since I didn't know at that time I could get through it. He said "yes" I could but I should still feed my baby 120mls of formula at every feed. "what if he won't take it?" I asked because I had had this problem with feeding him EBM. "keep going 'till he finishes".
What a total tool.
If you are in Queanbeyan I am happy to PM you the name of this guy......good Dr but ****e at BF stuff.........
120ml! No room for breastmilk after that!
I was glad my paed hasnt tried to tell me that i should ff feed ds2 eveb though hes a slow weight gainer. another gp told me that if ds2 wasnt gauning enough weight id have to consider formula cause obviously my milk wasnt good enough for him. Idiot!
I've read all six pages of this thread and some made me cringe and some made me laugh.
The 'best' negative comment I heard directed at me while BF my daughter at a cafe when she was nine months old, was from a women in her mid twenties who was having lunch with a female friend a few tables away: "Does she have to do that here, I'm trying to eat my lunch!". Well guess what so were we!
I had my cousin ask me at my brother's 21st the other week "Are you still breastfeeding her?!"
I just looked at her like she'd grown a second head and said "Of course I am, why wouldn't I?" :p Then again, I always look at her like she's got a second head, she's a moron :lol:
Yup. I was chatting with a fellow career-person-type, who seemed to think that I must be very relieved that I'm back at work as I don't have to be doing that "feeding stuff" ... I said that I was still feeding, DS2 was still exclusively on the house white (and hopefully will be until 6 months, as per his big brother) and expressing and bf while working is completely doable, and thankfully my body responds really well to pumping - which I am extremely grateful for.
They seemed to find it astonishing that I was "putting myself through all that" now that I have a good "excuse" to stop, and go back to getting a full night's sleep etc. :o
This thread makes me so grateful! I've not come across any negative comments about breadtfeeding DD. It either doesn't come up, or people just accept that it's a personal thing and she's still very young and needs it.
I don't know if that'll change as she gets older, I do have one co-worker who has mentioned it'd be weird to still be breadtfeeding a child who can walk and talk. But, DD has a few words and is getting more confident with walking and the co-worker doesn't seem bothered by how I feed DD.
I guess I'm just lucky!
