kissy hugs x I will pop over to the thread shortly x
Well, I kept a few people waiting in clinic today I can tell you! I saw HV and told her my concerns and theories and what I wanted. Last week we had agreed that if J was not better on formula she would give me the lactose free stuff. Today she said she could not prescribe this, nor could the GP, and I would need to see the dietician for a specialist px. She does not think he has intolerance or anything and showed me the NHS chart for diagnosis. Vomiting and weight loss was the only symptoms he was missing. I said I was not happy, and would ask the GP, so I did. She had no clue about lip tie or lactose overload.
The GP also had no idea about lactose overload or lip tie. He listened to his chest on my request. It was clear as I thought. He thinks cough and wheeze are because J drinks his milk fast and he is used to a slower boob. He was very kind, and was clearly concerned about my mental health and exhaustion. Part of me was wondering if the men in white coats would come bursting in, and I said to him I was not a neurotic mother, just concerned for my child, and not wanting to leave it any longer, having done what the HV said.
He asked how I felt about stopping feeding and was very caring. He wants me to see HV weekly as they are the experts. He has referred to dietician, and given me a px for lactose free formula, but wants me to keep an open mind.
