11:47 amSo you feel that way?
I just realised that not all female doctors encouraged mothers to breastfeed their baby. That is what i see because the last incident which took place has made me realised that not all female doctors would love to advice their patients to breastfeed their baby, for long.
Last two weeks, i went to this particular clinic to seek consultation and also, ehem, asked for “a day off” from work. She asked me when was my last mensus and I couldnt really find the exact answer when was the last time i had my mensus. She then perused my file again and asked whether if i still breastfeed my baby and my answer was yes.
So finally, she gave me a smile and asked me how long do i intend to breastfeed my baby. Again, i couldn’t really find the perfect answer to her question and told her that well, maybe until my baby don’t want my milk anymore. She finally opened up her mouth again and talk about the breastfeeding topic and claimed that she cannot understand how some mothers can still breastfeed their baby till 2 years plus and so.
I was looking at her curiously, and was about to ask her why does she feel that way? Isn’t she a qualified female doctor? I was about to ask a sensitive question whether is she married and whether does she has a child on her own?
I then decided to shut up and let her continue about that topic. Then the next thing i heard that she said it is okay to breastfeed your baby up to six months, or perhaps, the maximum to one year. She feels that one year of breastfeeding is more than enough and if some mothers go beyond that one year, she couldn’t imagine what else is going to happen. Oh, she gave me that ”yucky, disgusting look” when she mentioned about that breastfeeding issue. Not forgetting that she advice me not to listen to others to breastfeed your baby until one year plus.
Of course i feel a bit insulted. I feel so discouraged. I feel a bit embarassed. Embarassed to who? Im not sure too. Hahah. After i got my MC, i left the clinic with a feeling mixture of joy and sadness. Joy because i got the MC but the sadness part, about what the doctor had told me off earlier.
I told my husband what had happened during my meeting with that not-so-keen-to-breastfeed-for-long female doctor. My husband was not really happy to hear that. He just told me not to listen to her and just follow my heart. I just keep numb about it and well, yeah, just follow my heart.
Well to each his own. I will stop to breastfeed my son when the time is right. Right now, i am happy with what I am doing now and contented that Shibly still wants my milk.
I have no comments on the new proposal of the new maternity packages. It sounds good but still, i doubt what else is going to rise after this hoo-haa. It is still stressful for a family like me who still got to work and help the husband to support our family. Unless if i can be a high style life SAHM. I don’t mind bearing another 3 or 4 kids!
Ok but again, kalau ada rezeki, kita terima dengan tangan yang terbuka. Does that mean that the ‘tetek’ akan terbuka lagi? Bila nak game eh? LOL!!
