we took DS3 to the doctor (a new one) and i left feeling rather unhappy with his response.
i told him everything that poor bub has been going through, he told me it was "normal" and that its just my anxeity! told me its highly unlikely he is lactose intollerant (even though i have found out from family their bub showed exact same symptoms and did indeed have a lactose intollerance. nor did he think it may be a protein issue with the milk, and says its just reflux. supposedly its normal to have foul green smelly poo all the time and to be never firm. and every child is different and i should know that. i am worrying too much! but he is concerned on jakob's weight! well if he's protein or lactose intollerance it will affect his weight! he's now on weekly weigh ins to see how much weight is gained, and wanted to know how much he drinks (between 120-150ml each feed) and he is full to the brim for 2 to 3 hours. he made me feel so little like i dont know what i am doing or being a bad mum, i dont take my kids to the doctors hardly ever only when my intuition tells me too and each time i've been right!
i told him he has started sleeping throughout the night and he said thats rare for babies too and i must being doing something right! (is that a compliment or something after the whole appt i didnt know how to take things) i wont be seeing him again, ill be going to the doctor who has worked at the childrens hospital he would of not questioned me like i was on trial. thank god i cancelled my appt for my problems i wouldnt want more harrasment.
i will find out on tuesday his results, but he got the sample and then found out if it was done any longer than 20 minutes ago it might be a problem? my poor bub most days poos multiple times and i dont know what time he does them just tell by the smell lol, when we start to get a whiff we know he's got a present!
sorry to go on but it annoyed me jakob is doing fine, i know he's over 5.5kg at 3 months (he left hospital at just under 3kg) and he is a little shorty (got mummy and daddys shortness) and still fitting in 000's but i have noticed a growth spurt specially in some of his clothes their fitting more snuggly now not loose. so i think they are all good things.
