RE: "It's very unfortunate that you're breastfeeding"
Good luck finding a new ped. Look for one with a LC on staff. My practice has a full-time LC, and all of the peds. seem really supportive of BFding. I had to laugh at your message, though, because at 5-6 weeks, my son was still nursing every hour! At 5 weeks my ped. said I should really try stretching him to at least every 1 1/2 hours, preferably every 2. At 6 weeks, both the ped. and the LC said I should try stretching him to every 2 - 2 1/2 hours. I wonder what your ped. would have said to us, with that frequent nursing schedule!
Good luck getting the refulx under control.
