When I moved to Delaware, I signed up my youngest with a local pediatrics
practice. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the doctors were all
females -- there are 4 or 5 of them who work together. The one time I took
Alex to see one of them, she said "Dettwyler, Dettwyler -- I know that
name." And I said, "Well, my husband is the new Director of Immunizations
for the State Department of Health." And she said, no, I know *your* name
from somewhere. So I explained what I do, and she said "Yes, of course,
that's it, we have your breastfeeding book!" I was amazed. As I left, the
receptionist handed me a packet of information for all new patients, and the
first page was a letter about the importance of breastfeeding. I don't know
for a fact, but I would like to think that these women all support each
other when they need maternity leave or have other problems that need time
away from work to resolve.
The pediatrician I saw was named Dr. Grob, and she was YOUNG and had a
wonderful bedside manner with Alex.
