Pediatricians here they don't interfere unleash the baby looses weight or poorly gains... I am afraid that what they say here is the same as in other places "she will grow out of it"...
Because I deal with a&e all day every day, going down in the middle of the night you risk to solve absolutely nth compared with an relaxed appointment that is prearranged.
Doctors in a&e are tired, they deal with life threatening things and though a newborn baby is a real emergency they will probably just make you an appointment in outpatients clinic once they make sure the baby is not in real danger
true story and sorry for that.
It's a wild life in a&e and myself I have to admit I got angry at people that come without emergencies there while someone else needs immediate help.
That been said, it's not your job to know what's an emergency or not so at any suspicion of an emergency you should go to a&e.
Doctors tired or not they will never deny healthcare.
Gps are usually quite efficient of picking up and redirecting to the hospital people with emergencies.
On the other hand i can only imagine the frustration of a screaming baby and I bet that will be me in the hospital with a scramming baby even if I am a doctor...
You are doing fabulous and I am not sure I would have managed at all
Sorry of anyone got upset from my post. I only wanted to show you the other side of the coin in a&e. It's a hard, stressing and dangerous life in a&e
That been said I saw none until now to be upset or get angry of a mother with a very young baby at any h of day or night. Just the stress hits absolutely red when a small baby gets through he a&e doors...
