I know she means well. She must, right? I’ve read a bunch of reviews of her where she’s described as very supportive and caring. She just continues to rub me the wrong way though. She sent me another text message today asking if breastfeeding was better. I replied that yes, things are good now!

Her response, “Wonderful! I was concerned you might give up.”

What the flying fuck? Not, “I knew you could do it!” What in our previous conversations about all I went through with Elias and was planning to do if there were problems with Noah led her to believe I might GIVE UP? I nursed Elias for 5 months in hopes my supply would correct itself. Was that giving up? Did she think I’d give up on breastfeeding because I “gave up” on home birth?

I replied saying I was determined and had a lot of great support. She responded recommending a book that answers basic breastfeeding questions. She just doesn’t listen and I’d hazard a guess that I know more about breastfeeding than she does.

I’m starting to wonder if all her other clients aren’t idiots and that’s why they appreciate her so much.
