Wow Greg, what an ordeal. Well done to you sticking up for everything you've researched so thoroughly. No one really questioned us about refusing the HepB, they kept asking us if we're still not having it LOL.. but then when we said no they just accepted it. Probably helped that we planned to vaccinate, just didn't want her as a prem to have anything. So we're different there

I had a big baby in the NICU. She was 3.5kg (7lb 14oz) at 34wks. No GD, dates were right etc etc etc. And I'm with everyone when they say 'imagine if you went full term!' LOL. But when my OB said that if I have another baby and it's looking big we'd look at 'alternate' birthing method, I made it pretty clear we wouldn't! So no doubt I'll have a fight on my hands for the next one. But our OB is pretty good really. I'm pretty sure my body will kick the baby out again if it's getting too big

But I'm shocked at how you were treated in the NICU. I'd be complaining left right & centre. DD was put on the drip early on for sugar levels, and it also had other supplements in it, so basically there was no problem waiting for my milk to come in. When it took a few days for it to come in properly they were starting to threaten formula (geez.. they think a baby is gonna starve in a couple of days waiting the natural amount of time it takes for milk to come in), but I refused to sign the consent and it was written everywhere that I was refusing formula for my bub. So I'm shocked that they just gave your bub formula?? no consent or anything?? I also refused bottle feeds for her, all suck feeds were to be from me, and tube feeds of EBM.

So glad to hear everyone is well tho after such a rocky start!
