I hate confrontation, and I hate making people feel bad but I’ve had it with my son’s doctor. A list of the things she has done:-When my son was 4 days old and had lost 2lbs, she (without even looking in his mouth) said his tongue tie wasn’t that bad and he didn’t need it clipped. Spoiler, he did. -When she found out we were getting him circumcised she ranted at us for 10 minutes about it. Lady, we know it’s cosmetic, we know it has no health benefits but I handle everything else with my kids let my husband have his ONE thing. -When he was 4 months old, she told me that she wanted me to feed him 8oz every 2 hours because he still was barely above birth weight. A month later when I came to her complaining about him losing weight and acid reflux she blamed it on me. -At his last appointment, after finding out he had put on 6lbs in 9 months, this MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL told me to feed my son bacon grease, gravy, and butter. So he would put on weight. I thought it was a joke, but she was serious.But at the top of this whole list, she blows everything I say off like it doesn’t matter. Somehow she let it just slip her attention that my nearly 1 year old son doesn’t sit up. She let it slip her attention that he doesn’t put any weight on his feet. “He’s fine, he’ll catch up, he doesn’t need extra help” but my son still has that newborn reflex of throwing his arms out when he’s picked up. I’m sick of this woman, I don’t trust her opinion. Can I just quietly move him to another pediatrician? Am I being the crazy mom right now? I feel like I’m justified in being angry but am I not? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HTSMJy
