I took my DD yesterday for her 15 month well baby check. My regualr doctor is on maternity leave so we had to see the other doctor in the practice (which just happened to be my docs husband). After reviewing DDs chart and checking her weight, he said that he noticed that DD has finally put on some weight (been same weight since 10 months) and wanted to make sure that I had moved her to a convertible seat and that she was FF. When I said that she was in a convertible but was still RF, and that I had no intentions of turning her any time soon, he all but demanded that I turn her around. When I explained to him that she was 500% safer RF and that the AAP actually recommended that you RF to the limits of the seat, he just rolled his eyes and told me again to turn her around. ( All this after he tried to intimidate me into allowing him to give my DD her MMR vax and lit into me when I said that I was following Dr. Sears' alternative vax schedule! ) I was so upset when I left that I am almost tempted to drive the 40 minutes to the nearest large town!
Sorry for rambling... this is my first child. Am I crazy for thinking about changing doctors? When my regular doc comes back from maternity leave, she is only working part-time, so chances of having to see her husband again are high. WWYD?
