so we had our doctors appointment. we had to see the nurse practitioner, which is fine, but I had never met her before and she was really rude and it was like she was inconvenienced by us being there. Anyways, she told me to use the nasal aspirator when I heard yucky stuff in DD's nose, but not to use it too much or else it might make her more stuffy. And that if she does have phlegm that she will either bring it up by coughing or vomiting or she will swallow it. I don't feel a lot of piece of mind after the appointment.
I feel that the people, doctors and nurses, at my doctors office aren't very consistent in what they are telling patients. I had asked about water for formula and one nurse was adamant that I boil it and then when I asked another nurse she said tap water was fine. Same thing goes for DD's feeding. Another nurse practitioner said that I should feed her when she is hungry. She will know when to stop. Her actual doctor said that I should not be feeding her too often and to make sure that there is at least 2 hours in between feedings. Sigh... I'm so confused. I guess I am just the kind of person that needs to know all the information I can about something and when there is not a set rule or guideline I get frustrated. I just want to be doing what is right for DD.
Sorry, thanks for letting me get that out!
I called and set up my appointment for WIC for next Tuesday. The person I spoke to on the phone said "um" more times than actual words I hope that I get the paperwork that she said that she's sending!
