Another thing about Doctors

[Guest guest]

And if you think about it, a lot of our kids have plagio because we

were never told about tummy time by these self proclaimed deities.

In our case, we were specifically told to only lay Dane on his right

side. This caused his plagio and tort. If these turkeys would tell

us about tummy time when we were discharged from the hospital, than

most of us wouldn't be in need of their " advice " on this topic.

They should stop pointing the finger at us and point it right back

at themselves.

We are lucky enough to have very supportive Peds at that practice we

go to. There is only one who isn't supportive as as the rest. Our

regular ped told us that she thought he would be okay, but that she

was willing to write us a script and a letter of medical neccesity

if we went with the band.

Maybe I should be crusading to include tummy time as instructions on

the discharge form at the hospital!

In all fairness (in my case) I was told about tummy time by my pediatrician right from the start. We did it and we did it a lot. What I really wish I was told is that my baby's head needed to be rotated, alternating which side he laid it to, each night. I had no idea it was bad he kept letting his head fall to the left while sleeping on his back at night and during naps. I also wish someone would have told me there was a problem when I consistently brought up the fact that my baby REALLY likes to constantly have his head turned to the left. Ahhhhh Okay, vent over. I wish they would stress...AT THE HOSPITAL 1. Tummy time 2. Alternating baby's head 3. and do some kind of range of motion neck stretch test if at all possible? Why not just a flyer covering these neck and head issues? I feel like all we're told is 'back to sleep, back to sleep, back to sleep'
