Doctors really don't know everything

9 months after it happened, I finally sent a complaint in to the patient services department at my doctor's office after a nurse practitioner shamed me for not breastfeeding. I wish I hadn't waited so long to send it in.I developed high blood pressure right after having my son and my OB originally tried me on a couple of different breastfeeding friendly medications. Neither of those worked so I was put on a non breastfeeding friendly one and she advised me to see a family doctor since it didn't seem to be postpartum pre-eclampsia like she was worried about it being initially.The NP barely mentioned the medication I was on and spent more time telling me how I should be breastfeeding even though I was told I shouldn't breastfeed on that medicine and the other ones hadn't been effective. She acted like I was ruining my kid's future because I wasn't breastfeeding. I said quite a few times that my first kid drank mostly formula and he turned out completely fine, but she never listened.It bothered me, but I didn't take it to heart and think I was the worst mom ever. If a doctor had told me that when I was struggling to breastfeed with my first kid and he was losing weight, I really would have felt like the worst mom ever. He had trouble gaining weight on formula as it was.I have issues with anxiety and I didn't want to 'be mean' or start anything, but I finally told myself that I had to say something before she said stuff like that to someone else who it ended up really affecting like if someone had said to me with my first kid. I didn't think the office would actually say anything since it had been so long, but they've actually been pretty good about it. No idea if anything will actually change, but I feel a lot better finally saying something.Tl;dr: if a doctor says something that really bothers you, complain about it. There's a good chance you aren't overthinking it and you'll feel a lot better saying something, even if it's been awhile via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/31Do1Tw
