"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.
