Thank you Dr. Jenny Thomas, I always discuss with the doctor involved
if I am not comfortable with with his/her suggested treatment. It's
very easy to say or write, that I saw the 2 week old baby and I thought
things were going very well. generally breastfed babies have soft
stools until they start solids, baby has good weight gain etc. Is
anything else a concern at this time? I've never had a physician tell
me to butt out or mind my own business. Sometimes I learn a lot from
this sort of dialogue and sometimes the physician does the learning.
It's a win-win situation. Eileen
