Need a new doc
When the doctor came in, she asked to us about his development. But we had just been through this early in the morning with the women from parents-as-teachers so I had the summary off the top of my head. She asked about his sleeping and we replies that he nursed to sleep and would nurse back to sleep in the middle of the night. She said that we should stop doing that as the sugar from the milk could cause tooth decay! I asked about Oliver's poop. Apparently turds are abnormal and softer stools are the creme de la creme of childhood excrement. So bummer for me and hooray for Oliver. After she left, the shot nurse came in and Oliver got a chicken pox vaccination.
When I refer to the doctor as "the doctor," it's because I don't actually know what her name is. She's never introduced herself to us formally. The pediatrician that we had first met has moved on to a new practice and she got assigned to us. We don't feel comfortable with her and after her comments about night weaning Oliver for the sake of his teeth, we're in the market for a new pediatrician. Any suggestions?

We're happy to recommend our pediatrician. She has offices by 270 & St. Charles Rock road, and one in Chesterfield. Her partners all seem nice, also (good thing when you call for an emergency appt on a day she's off). I believe her comment about the nursing was "You can keep that going as long as you like."--she breastfed her own children :). If you want, we can probably find one of her cards on Wednesday.
