I’m sorry I had a difficult time wording this question. My son just turned 2 last week and a couple months ago his doctor left the practice “to pursue other interests.” Luckily our son is very healthy and has only been in twice for a sick visit in which we didnt get to see his usual doctor, but the one on call. Which was fine, but now after just getting back from his appointment I am so distraught. The old doc was ok with his naptime binky habits and evening bottle and was pleased that my son enjoyed eating fish. While he was not talking as much as other kids his age she was reassuring and said to give it time and we would check his progress at 2. Now since she is gone, the new doc was appauled at my son still using the binky and pulled out scissors to clip off the tip right then and there! I stopped her cause my heart couldnt handle it-he was already screaming. She said no bottles, no fish due to mercury content and said the reason my son isnt talking is due to binky. Im so confused.
Both of these doctors were female. I suppose I worded this incorrectly as I am not looking for advice on bottles, binks, and fish – my question is regarding the difference in opinions when these doctors work together and see the same patients. I had no intention of this turning into a battle of those who believe and do not believe in bottle and binkies.
My daughter is slightly overweight….not obese by any means. She gets picked on in schoool for her weight at times. She says no one likes her and everyone teases her. She doesnt have a best friend at 11 years old and rarely plays with other kids. I have her eating healthy and we are walking every night. The bad thing is she goes to her dads every other week and he doesnt do things the way I do. My daughter is very beautiful and I tell her so all of the time. I tell her to ignore other kids and keep her chin up even when she is being teased. I need some tips on getting her to shine with confidence so that she will not get picked on as much. Its really affecting her school work. Any ideas besides slimming her down? Im working on that. I try to explain to her even when she loses weight she doesnt want to be friends with those who have teased her. Kids can be so cruel sometimes.
