I had an appointment with a new GP today, never been to this clinic before and thought I'd try it out!
I sat down and started to discuss what I needed help with, why I was there etc and all that.... and 15mo DD decides she would like some 'booby' right now and starts saying "booby". So I said to the GP "excuse me, I'll just feed her" and she looks at me, with a really blank stare, kinda emotionless. Maybe surprised that DD was saying the word "booby" (omg how rude!!!!! not) I then carried on with what I was saying and said "so I'm still breastfeeding and...." and kept on going.... the whole time the GP was talking to me, she kept looking down at DD who was feeding and coming on and off looking at the GP (you know how toddlers do that LOL) and I was feeling really uncomfortable because I think the GP was!! I really didn't feel comfortable at all.
When I told her that we are still BF, I kinda expected at least a smile of acknowledgement or something about it or even a "uh huh" you know how GP's do that when they are listening but nothing, she was really blank about it all.

Anyway just wanted to get that out there. I think it's highly possible she hardly see's many babies of DD's age still being breastfed seeing as it's not that common unfortunately, so I guess it was a rare site for her to see..... *sigh* wish it was more common. and seen as natural and normal as it is.
I just had those *vibes* that she was uncomfortable with it all... you know what I mean? it wasn't a comment or a look as such more a vibe....

I have never cared what anyone thinks about me breastfeeding a baby or a toddler, now that DD is a toddler because I know I'm doing the best thing by DD and myself. I dunno why this GP made me feel uncomfortable but she did.

I think I'll keep searching for a new GP.... it's so hard finding a good one!! *sigh*

Thanks for reading.
