New pediatricians

Rebecca

So this might get a little ranty I'm quite annoyed. My son(he'll be a year old in a week) is seeing a new pediatrician because we moved. We met the new doctor today and I really don't like him at all. We took my son in because hes making trying to make himself vomit multiple times a day (like up to 8 times) normally hes only able to get himself to puke once or twice a day. I know it can be normal for babies to try to get attention like this but hes been doing it for months and its becoming more frequent. So I called the nurse to see what she reccomend and she said just to bring him in. At first the doctor walks in doesn't say anything just makes a somewhat grossed out face at my son then say "well I cant say anything about his hair but at least hes not bald" my son has bright red hair. Then he sits down and says we pretty much came in for nothing that if it were his kid doing this "he'd slap his hands a few times then he'll learn pretty quickly not to do it". Then he says he feels pretty stupid but he'll email a gi specialist to make sure it's nothing. he did a normal check up and called my son fat and said we'll have to worry about that later. My son was 27 lbs 12 oz and hes super tall. The doctor then asks me if I gave birth vaginally because he must've been a huge kid. My son was 7lbs 15oz he just got big really fast he never lost any weight in the hospital but it was just weird having the doctor ask how he was born. All around it was a super awkward experience. We loved the our sons doctor before. I dont know what to do now hes the only pediatrician within 30 minutes of where we live.
