Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
oh jesus. what a complete horses arse. besides the fact that she is wrong about breast milk solving all problems...she was dealing with a new mom with a baby in pain, which is the WORST FEELING EVER.
Tact 101 needs to be taught in med school. I am sorry.

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
I'm still mad about this! haha
I just wanted to add that I agree with PP, put a note in the file that you never want to see this ped again.
I love my practice but one ped suggested I was borderline committing child abuse because I chose to break up the vaccinations. Said I was causing my child undue pain and suffering of having the shot, etc. I was furious. There is in a note in my file that unless she's seriously ill and NO ONE else is available I never, ever want her to see my child again. Oddly enough my hubby liked her, I -obviously- do not.

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
That is terrible to hear!!! BF babies get colic too! My DD1 had horrible colic and reflux and a formula change was part of the solution. If you don't feel supported by your ped. office you need to change. you must feel comfortable with the medical treatment your daughter is getting! I wouldn't stand for that treatment!

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone, you really made me feel better. DH and I think we need to change Ped office and find someone more supportive of us.
I put dd on gentlease so far no change so I'm hoping to get another opinion from a new dr in hopes to help her.

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
I would've switched peds immediately. I'm sorry they made you feel bad but please don't AT ALL. UGH, this makes me mad.
I BF for a month then was a failure and DS is doing just fine

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
I would find a new ped and write a letter to the old office letting them know that this Dr.'s rude, unprofessional remarks are the reason you left. I HATE all the comments on formula vs breastfeeding from people. It angers me that we always have to feel like we need to defend our choices. I FF my first after three failed weeks of breastfeeding and am going on three months EBF with my second DD. In each situation I did what was best for my family and I should not have to feel the need to justify that to anyone. Especially a rude, self righteous pediatrician.

It took about two weeks for me to see the difference with Gentlease. DD went through four formula before I found the one that worked best and I gave each two weeks to work.... It was pretty hellish but it really did take that long for her system to adjust completely.

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
That is so very innapropriate! You are not being overly sensitive, you're doing what's best for your baby, keep trying different combos til your LO is at ease...and DEF report that ped's insensitive comment (write it up for good measure) to the head of the practice!

Re: Tell me am I being overly sensitive? Formula vs breastfeeding comment
gotta love the breastfeeding brigade.... I know a lot of BF babies who have colic and digestive problems. All babies might be meant to breastfed but not all mothers are meant to breastfeed....

SO sorry about those comments, don't blame yourself, even breastfed babies get colic so I really don't know what that ped. is talking about....
absolutely true....that ped was disgustingly out of line as well as grossly inaccurate.....i would definitely leave her practice as well as tell her exactly why you were leaving.....tell her if she can't support you as the parent of this child wholeheartedly as well get her facts straight about a VERY common problem CALLED COLIC BF OR NOT than I would question my trust in her with my child and i need to have 150% trust in my doctors especially those handling my children
