to be annoyed at dr's comment?

[susiegrapevine]

Ok so went for 6 week postnatal check for me and ds2 and the doctor was asking about feeding and I said yes I am breast feeding so she said oh so his poo's will still smell quiet sweet then she said 'when you start mixed feeding then his poo's will smell horrible'!! So I just said back I don't think well be doing that somehow I breast fed ds1 for 18 months.

The point is I never even mentioned any desire to use formula or mix feed. Am annoyed because of the assumtion I will mix feed and because I thought the nhs were supposed to be encouraging breast feeding! I have nothing against anyone who choses to mix feed or formula feed its there choice but I feel my doctor should not be making an asumptions about how I feed my baby!!

Oh dear. Have a sticker love. For managing to bf so well. Super. Have a as well. You must be hungry with all that jolly well done bf that you are doing

Aw you are being unreasonable, but your dc is still so tiny. One day you'll look back on this and laugh at your over-reaction.

yabvu, it must be very frustrating being so easily offended, even worse for service providers to have to put up with you, get over yourself.

Yabvu - for so many reasons.

Ime FF babies poo smells similar to bf (having done both) poo. Its starts smelling really bad when they eat solids. So, yes, she probably meant weaning. Which you will do. Just because you thinks 'mixed feeding' means combination of Ff and bf doesn't mean the doctor does.

Yabu to talk about people ff because they have failed. If people viewed it less like/ failure or success it would be better.

I think you are a bit smug about the FA the fact you bf. anf so have been offended that someone may even suggest you may ff.

Please remember OP, just because you bf your first child for 13/18 months. Doesn't mean that's what will happen this time. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't, I hope you do and support anyone that bfs. But I am slightly worries about how upset you would be if you did have to stop for some reason.

Yabu. Sounds like dr was just making conversation

'People not coping with breastfeeding'...love, how about people who can't cope with doctor making innocent conversation...look in the mirror
