"Mom has insisted on using SNS at the breast for all feedings
around the clock and is very tired and ready to throw in the towel after
doctor made fun of the SNS"

Well, I think this HCP is way off base for making fun of mom's chosen
method of feeding the baby.  yes, MD may be uninformed about how SNS
works, but that by no means gives him the right to make fun of a pt. or
pt's mom!  This is totally inappropriate behavior.

Can mom summon her strength to complain to head of peds at hospital?  Can
mom request different ped?  It's hard to learn to be an advocate for your
child, but she will need to spend the next 18 yrs (at least!) doing this.
