One of our clients was told by her doctor that she could not take her baby
outside for walk until he is 1 month old and absolutely not to the mall until
he is 2 months old. This is a full term, healthy breastfed newborn. I said
"Gee, I'd love to see the research in which he bases that guideline on."
This is also the same physician who refused to give permission to have this
severely tongue-tied baby clipped because he wanted him to gain some weight
first....HELLOOOO !
I'd love to sequester him at home for a month for no good reason...or better
yet FOREVER !
Just venting....
