Syracuse Pediatrician Question

prncsstp

Hi Ladies -

 Anyone know of any forward thinking pediatricians in the Syracuse area in regards to breastfeeding (ie, have a lactation consultant on staff, understand gworth charts of breastfed babies?)

Not that O's pediatrician is bad... but in a few weeks we go in for another weight check, and not that they are worried, but his growth curve isnt great, but I think its just because hes a small baby who also happens to be breastfed, and from what Ive gathered breastfed babies tend to slow down growth between 4-6 months...

But im worried that if his weight gain isnt great again at this next appt then they will start mentioning supplementing (which they havent yet). If thats the case, then I may want to look into switching practices...

My pedi office has a lactation consultant on staff.  But I am not a fan of the main pedi anymore, he seems to be burnt out.  But there is one pedi who only works three days a week and stays home with her kids the other four, I really like her.  It is a rather small office as well, I like that about it.  My pedi is on rt 31 in Cicero.

Oh, and I wanted to add, my kids dropped on the growth cart around 4-9 months.  They  both went from around 95% to around 50% weight wise.  Both totally healthy, exclusivly breastfed babies.  Even now, they have stayed below the 50% for weight.  Just the size they are meant to be.
