First of all, I chose to breastfeed my baby. The doctors at this practice aren't admittedly anti-breast, but when my baby's bilirubin level was a little high (but still in the normal range), I was told to switch to formula. I wouldn't even call it a recommendation because I was simply told to do it. For those who are unaware, what you should do in this case is nurse as often as humanly possible to encourage more bowel movements. The more the better, and the iron in formula can and may constipate your baby which only makes matters worse. Also, the doctors also do not know how nursing works. ie. when/how often/how long to do it. Do not ask them for feeding advice unless you use formula exclusively.

My second complaint regards vaccination. We chose not to and were given a form to sign. We were led to believe it was mandatory in order for our child to even be seen by a doctor, and so even though we didn't agree with it, we put our signature on it anyway. It should be illegal to manipulate people into agreeing to something they don't agree with at all.

My last complaint is linked to the second. Because I chose not to vaccinate, the doctor completely changed his demeanour towards me. Choosing what to do for my child is my business, not his. He said I was ignoring his recommendation. I told him I was only disagreeing with it. He is apparently under the impression that a recommendation must be followed. In conclusion, we were told to find another doctor, even after signing a form we completely disagreed with. I wasn't even hostile considering what I had put up with so far. Instead, the doctor was the hostile one.
