Copied this from my other thread, so that the title was more descriptive of where I am.
went to gp today to discuss if Ds (4 m.o.) migh have a sore mouth.
a bit of a waste of time
"no white plaque in mouth mean no thrush"
"why woiuld you treat him with antifungal? wouldn't sntibiotics be first choice?"
"why don't you get him weighed more often? Really the hvs are the ones to talk to about feeding troubles. they've had the training and they know all about it!" (?!)
"his feeding patterns [feeding more frequently; fussing; ends every feed crying; seems hungry; not sleeping great] aren't really relevant when it comes to deciding if we need to investigate further... now if we only had the weight..."
"Lots of reasons for breast pain. your shooting pains and pins and needles in the nipple don't mean anything. thrush is a red cracked nipple. If you want to talk about your health perhaps you shouldmake another appointment"
Appreciate any personal experiences anyone has like me - i've read kellymom.
