[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your pediatrician say?[/quote]

We haven’t had a visit with our Peditrician yet.  We have one scheduled in a few weeks.  Our midwife is highly trained and experienced and has provided our postnatal care so far.  [/quote]

What?! Your baby is 4 weeks and hasn't seen the ped?[/quote]

This is within the scope of practice for CNM's.[/quote]

No, no.  A highly trained and experienced CNM will require a newborn to see a pediatrician or even a pediatric nurse practitioner within two weeks of birth.  Most to many within 3-5 days.  She has a PP mother showing concerning symptoms a month after delivery.  This isn't good.[/quote]

Technically the first 28 days are within the scope of practice for a CNM, and only to the extent things progress normally. [/quote]

Things weren't progressing normally. OP did the right thing because her PPA wasn't being addressed.  This is what gives CNM a bad name. [/quote]
