Took my 4 week old DD to a cranial osteo. She was great, really helped and seemed lovely. Booked another appointment the following week and towards the end of the second app she asked out of the blue if I'd be vaccinating. I said yes and she started harping on about how I shouldn't basically, telling me to do my research and directing me to antivax websites/FB groups. She kept saying "I shouldn't be saying this as we're meant to follow NHS guidelines but...". I said firmly that I've done my research, she's my second child and I'll be vaccinating. Gave her the benefit of the doubt and went back the next week and she did it again, banging on about the evils of vaccines and how her unvaccinated children are fine, and more of the "I shouldn't be saying this but.."
I was really uncomfortable and made another appointment as she didn't really give me a choice and I just wanted out of there with my baby.
I'm going to cancel the upcoming appointment but honestly I'm considering reporting her to the general chiropractic council who regulate this industry. She owns her practice so nowhere higher to complain to.
How many other vulnerable new mothers to miserable screamy babies (like myself) is she doing this to? I think it's immoral and frankly dangerous and she can do whatever she wants with her own kids but a clinical practice isn't the place to share these views.
But I'm running on 3 hours broken sleep a night so not sure if I'm BU and overreacting!!
