Aa
the nerve of this doctor!
Ladies have you ran across this!?
So today I was talking to this family doctor about possibly taking my new baby there when he's born.
And I asked about how he does his vaccine schedule.
He blatantly says he strictly follows the schedule.
So I replied with I feel more comfortable not doing more than 1 or 2 in a day. And he started going on a rant with me. About how I am so wrong and that I probably think I am an expert like the other crazy moms. And that he went to school for 11 years so he calls the shots. Then he said we wouldnt get along.
My reply was nope we sure wouldnt.
I cant believe how much he belittled me just because I was a possible patient trying to express my wants for my child.
Ladies I do fully vaccinate my children. I just feel more comfortable not putting so much at a time through my babies body.
after I left I sat there and thought about if maybe the reason he acted that way was because of me. So I thought back and I didnt give him any attitude I asked politely and I dont believe my body language was off putting.
I have just never dealt with so much unprofessional behavior.
Sorry for the long rant I am just on nerves right now.

Well that does sound very easy! Why don't more people do it lol I do have the same philosophy as you if he wants it done when gets older its his decision. I am starting to get so excited for him to get here.
It's REALLY easy! Don't pull it back when you change him. Unless he has a really poopy diaper, then yes, soak him in water and gently lift it back to make sure no poop is in there, but that's about it! The older he got (like around 3 or 4) I started talking to my son about his penis and how to properly care for it. He does a good job at 6 yrs old now. He observes it when he pees, he'll tell me if something looks weird, usually it's just lint or toilet paper that got stuck. I've literally had zero problems except for the stupid doctor when he was around 6 months old. When he's older if he chooses to get clipped that's up to him, but for now it's working out just fine! Hope that helps you some!
Willzmom I do not plan on circumcision for my boy either. Not completely sure what to expect. I have read about it some. Aren't there foreskin tight for awhile or something? And aren't you not suppose to pull back on it? Has it been easy to care for?
And ya at least that doctor called and apologized I doubt this one will!

I've actually had a doctor go off on me when my son was a baby about how to properly care for his uncircumcised penis! It was our second time going there and each time he would examine him and pull his skin back. I told him before not to do that. The second visit I stopped him just before he pulled it ask the way back and his reaction was similar to the reaction got. He went on about how he's such of mom's wanting to tell him what to do because their crazy aunt/mom/cousin read something online. When I explained to him that we had just moved back to Louisiana from California and that I was following what I'd learned on the west coast, he then proceeded to go on a rant about west coast doctors being kooky/hippie/dummies. I'm guessing he wasn't one if the cool kids in school. Anyways, that night he called and left a very long, sincere apology after he did his own research and realized he was wrong. By that point it was too late! We never went back and I found a nice female pediatrician who has been wonderful to us!
But that sounds more reasonable though. They will literally poop like 3-4 shots in baby when they are really small. I have read abd heard that the vaccine schedule the cdc here does is experimental as they dont know if its completely safe or not
He shouldn't have talked to you like that that's not professional! But interesting all the same that you have the option to spread out the vaccines. I live in New Zealand and we have no say - I have a 5 year old I believe it's about 2 shots each time when baby is little then at 18 months they get 3 at once. From then on its only 1 per time.
Well my bf was seeing him and I was just asking to see what hes like. That was our first time there And I am still in a little shock at how much of an a whole he was.
I told my bf that I will not tell him what to do its his decision but if someone belittled him in front of me like that. I would not have anything to do with them after that! I also said I will not go back to that place with him. I can't stand unprofessional doctors like that.
so my search continues good luck to you too I hope you find a respectful doctor.

i agree with your thinking process regarding vaccines. i need to start looking for a doctor soon too. the one you found seems to be a bit .... wow. frustrated? annoyed at life? poor dude just needs a hug probably. lol
good luck with the search. i know there's plenty of great family practices out there, that work well with alternate vaccine schedules!! :)
