Sick of it these program dietician and lactation consultants acting like they know better than my or my kids doctors

Vanessa

In my 3rd trimester i developed GD and the dietician in my program was militant and passive agressive spoke with absolutely certainty that i will get regular diabeties and just a bunch of crap about how unhealthy i was tried to say my toddler needed a dietician and the reason he is sometimes a picky eater was because I didn't breastfeed him(not by choice it just didn't happen) she also made me feel like shit about my weight gain and anything it seem like she could passive aggressively like trying to drum up business or make out like her dietician knowledge was the know all see all kind of thing and general went out of her way to talk to me like I was the stupidest being on earth

Now my 2nd is a month old went to wic for above all else lactation advice and the lactation consultant tried to shame me about using formula with my new infant it was directed by her pediatrician due to loosing to much weight/mass after being born. And because she weight in at 9 lbs now at wic she tried to tell me my daughter didn't need it any more. And when she wouldn't take a bottle in the office (i had also breast feed her less than an hr before ) after the lactation nurse kept insisting she was hungry despite the fact thay her dad and I kept saying no she is gassy. The lactation consultant was like that formula doesn't taste good does it. And also tried to blame the formula for her gas breast milk or not my daughter is gassy! She tried to tell me she has trouble pooping because of the formula! She also proceeded to explain to me that formula is cow milk based not human well know shit. And then told me I produce human milk not cow well know fucking kidding im not a fucking cow! This lactation nurse was talking to me like I had an IQ of 68 or lower like seriously. She also proceeded to repeat her self like six times on things like.make sure you sign here and. Just the simplest of simple. She also practically refused to let my husband touch his daughter she changed my daughter even though my husband her father said i got it then wiped her back to fucking front!! And generally acted like she knew my daughter better then her parents! Same with that dietician who do these ppl think they are they have basic certification not medical degrees!! And what right do they have to make people feel so guilty and ignored !!
