Hey there, I'm just looking for reassurance. We aren't planning on introducing solids till 8-9 months. Today we had the 4 month check-up. dd dr said to start pablem now and then veggies. She went on about how they need all the extra iron. We just smiled
blah blah blah. I did ask about solids interfering with the iron absorption from breastmilk, and she agreed, but said they need the extra from pablem. Then she's like at the 6 month appt you can tell me how it's going Bri thinks we should just skip the 6 month appt. She said that she's seen babies bf till 9 months (how can she read my mind?) and they are fat and pale. She also said if dd spits out the pablem, to keep trying and have her angled etc. Um, last I checked the tongue-thrust reflex was to prevent them from chocking and a survival tool; not something to be forced. I'm just annoyed. She also asked how she was sleeping, we said great, and she's like "oh good, then you don't need to give her pablem at night to help her sleep!"
Anyways just really looking for some reasurrance. Bri said he'll do whatever I want, and is just annoyed b/c everyone says something different and he doesn't know what to believe any more.
