First Well Baby Visit

We were not sure but my husband and I both had the impression that the pediatrician hit the top of our baby's head at the top the measuring table when he was measuring my daughter's length. He did it so fast we were not so sure but my baby started crying hard then. He also flipped my daughter in one motion like a pancake, without supporting her neck or head. I was worried because my baby's nose and mouth was pressed on the measuring table while he was listening to her lungs through his stethoscope on my daughter's back.

With my baby's screaming for a while, I believe it is understandable that I don't want to see this pediatrician again so I couldn't believed it when my husband and the pediatrician agreed that we will come back after a week because my husband was concerned that my baby lost weight (4ounces) I told him that the pediatrician in the hospital warned me that she would lost weight before gaining weight.

My husband also admitted when we were already alone in the car that the pediatrician was rough with our baby but told me he seemed to be a nice guy (which for me is not good enough if he was rude to me but gentle with my baby I would like him better). However my husband wanted to gave him another chance because his clinic is just a few blocks from us that I could take a taxi in case of emergency. Honestly though, I think I would only bring my baby to the doctor when extremely necessary.
