It...I would definitely look into switching doctors. It is not unreasonable at all. You need to be comfortable with who is looking after your babies healthcare. And you need to be able to trust what they tell you. Good luck and remember that nothing beats a mother's intuition!Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08762023093830971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-50284798088479322582010-01-25T13:49:25.906-06:002010-01-25T13:49:25.906-06:00I had similar issues with Marianne's doc after...I had similar issues with Marianne's doc after her 4 month checkup in which he told me, "Oh, 40 oz of formula a day is normal." Um. Dude, I looked it up and it's normal for...a 6 month old. She's not getting full if she's waking up after 4 hours at night wanting another bottle, dammit.<br /><br />So I tossed his orders to the wind and fed her cereal and baby food.<br /><br />And now she's up to two or three solid meals plus 37 oz of formula a day. She's one perpetually hungry kid.<br /><br />Remember...YOU are with Ava 24/7. YOU see what the doctor doesn't, YOU have the best idea of what's good for her and not. Docs nowadays are too drug-happy. <br /><br />Also, her irritation might be because of something you're eating, if she happens to be allergic to it. You might try cutting out some stuff from your diet and see if it helps.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.com
