[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have a ped when ds was a baby, I was low income and used a sliding scale clinic that was used as a training program for family practice residents as well as having board certified family physicians. Had this doctor who criticized baby's weight gain and my BF. (She also shared that she had not been able to BF due to nipple issues so I felt she was using her experience against me). She was actually saying failure to thrive out loud. (I don't remember if she was a resident, if so she was an older resident than the others)

But prenatal I also had enrolled in a program to provide extra prenatal care which was run through public health at the time. I got a lot more communication and attention from them than from the ob-gyn. Anyway, they said his head measurements were just fine (the dr didn't measure his head, just looked at weight, and for his length he was actually on the high end for weight--never had baby fat rolls, he was a very muscled baby, always felt heavy for his size) and he was gaining fine. So I listened to them and ignored the dr. [/quote]
