We absolutely love our practice. The best part is that they're open 7 days a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-to-find-a-pediatricianfamily-doctor-for-lo#post-107407 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:27:38 +0000 chopsuey 107407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: Yeah, I'm going to look into it. It's a pain in the butt, but I don't want to have to lie or withhold info from my pediatrician because I'm afraid of what she's going to say. :P </p> <p>I think middle of the night nursing is pretty common practice for moms who co-sleep? Not sure though. </p> <p>I was all wound up today but started feeling better after I nursed my LO to sleep. She's at an age where she asks for milk by saying "mam-ma" (food in Korean), tugging at my bra or searching for it when she's sleepy. I told DH I'm not depriving my LO of milk if she wants it. </p> <p>Thanks for your support and encouragement! Means a lot :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-to-find-a-pediatricianfamily-doctor-for-lo#post-107392 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:16:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 107392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yeah I saw that post, I felt so bad for you. Honestly I have never heard that you HAVE to give up night feeding when they're older, and honestly I think that logically, sugar in your breastmilk causing tooth decay is bull. But idk, I'm no doctor, I just think it sounds contrary to the fact that breastmilk is basically super-milk and the best possible thing for LO regardless of age. Sugar in breastmilk is nothing like table sugar.</p> <p>I think you have the right to find a new pediatrician. Or at least get a second opinion before beating yourself up about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-to-find-a-pediatricianfamily-doctor-for-lo#post-107381 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:08:20 +0000 chopsuey 107381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked for a rec but didn't put too much thought into choosing a pediatrician. Looking back, I should have made sure I chose someone who supported co-sleeping, limited vaccines, nursing for 2 years, etc.<br /> :T I wasn't happy earlier because my pediatrician made some comments about co-sleeping and nursing in the middle of the night that didn't sit well with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-to-find-a-pediatricianfamily-doctor-for-lo#post-107370 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:05:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 107370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5 week old and sine my post-partum care with my midwife is ending tomorrow, I am thinking about this.</p> <p>I'm very concerned about it because there are some things I feel I am doing as a parent that most doctors would frown upon (co-sleeping, limited vaccines etc) and I don't want to feel criticized or judged when I am doing what I feel is best for LO and myself. </p> <p>I will ask my midwife for recommendations so hopefully I don't have to do the research myself.</p> <p>How long did it take you? What method did you use? </p>
