Kurant

My baby boy Jared was born on Sunday night, and the lactation consultant at the hospital was there twice, and my son was simply just not getting it. A couple sucks here, a couple there, but no breastfeeding. Now, the milk isn't in quite in yet, and it may get easier. But, it had been 36 hours, he haden't ate, and so I said screw it. He took the bottle instantly, ate, quit throwing a fit, and slept for about 5 hours.

Now, when the pedatrician came in, she wasen't too happy we substutied formula that early. I got a little annoyed and kindly told her, I didn't care, he ate, and at that point, thats all I cared about.

She nodded with a blank look on her face, took him to do whatever they needed to do. Brought him back, and scheduled an appointment for today because of his Jondus. (Spelling?)

I've heard about doctors like this, and people like this. I'm not willing to hear it, and I'm certinaly not going to be overwhelmed by it. The most important thing is him eating, and if thats how he will eat consistantly, then thats how we are going to raise this child.

My wife seems set on this lady, and I'm just not willing to fight it out with her over somthing stupid. My wife keeps trying nursing, and at this point it's not working. However, pumping and feeding him with a bottle is working great. I'm really just not sure what to do here.

Do I find a new pedatrician?
