I went to my family dr last week b/c I was feeling lightheaded (turns out to be low bp). So you know how the nurse takes your information before the dr comes in...
well, I of course mentioned i had a 1 year old and I was bf and she said, "oh, still?" um...yes. I told her I wasn't going back to work until the end of January, so I wanted to continue at least until then. SHe says, "is there anything left after almost 13 months?" (ha ha, her attempt at a joke???) I was quick to reply "apparently...she is still eager to nurse"
Next I mentioned that I haven't had a good night's sleep in a year and commented on how mia gets up between 4:30 - 5:00 and she said "oh I wouldn't be putting up with that for very long" a**hole I WISH I had said "and what exactly would you do? b/c I've tried everything and nothing works" What I did say was "I've tried everything" and would you like to take one guess as to what she said...just one...it's the standard suggestion....

"WHat time does she go to bed? Have you tried putting her to bed later???"
Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Are you freakin kidding me? I've tried EVERYTHING even though every stupid sleep book says putting them to bed later doesn't work, I've tried it.
I thought of complaining to the dr., but I was more amused than pi**ed. How stupid for someone to make comments like that. What compounds the stupidity is that she is in the medical profession. Yikes.
