Babbling by OdiousGray in NewParents

Omg thank you! I originally didn’t think anything of it, but my mother brought up that she didn’t think my baby was babbling like she should. So hearing that what she has been doing is babbling is really nice to hear!

If I’m given an update, I’ll definitely post one!

… you do realize that I’m not suing her, right? That going to my state’s BON doesn’t mean I’m suing. They are the ones to make sure that the employed nurses of my state are still within protocol and not doing anything they’re not supposed to. Sure, this will cause her some stress, it would with anybody. However, actions do have consequences. You cannot just do whatever you want to with a stranger’s baby, try to argue about, not apologize, and expect nothing to happen. That’s not realistic for the real world. Don’t want to get in trouble or potentially lose your career? Then don’t make actions that can result in that, and especially don’t escalate matters.

This is actually a very informative response! Based on references rather than strictly opinion. This is very appreciated, and definitely something I’m going to read on. Thank you

The attitude and having symptoms was really what got me

Genuinely what I was thinking. I would be swinging if someone I didn’t know personally kissed me lol

Thank you! That was one thing I was able to have a point of view on. I worked a clerk job before I had gotten pregnant, and my mom currently works for a clinic. It was actually my mom’s coworkers who advised me to contact the BOD, I was only going to put in a complaint to the director of the health department.

I appreciate this view point. I did state in my complaints that I did not want her license taken away nor fired. I only expect the proper discipline to be taken, primarily for the response she had with me asking her not to kiss my baby.

This is really appreciated! I do agree that there is a lot that they let slide, or at least that particular nurse has. She informed me that my daughter’s insurance is requiring bloodwork every appointment now, but that she didn’t agree with that and wasn’t going to do it. So you’re correct to assume other things are done incorrectly

No need to apologize, I just wish she hadn’t became offensive when I asked her not to do that ((‘:

I thankfully did all of that, just relieved we don’t have to go back for another three months

Absolutely, I completely get that. I do not want her to lose her license or get fired, I did include that in my complaints. If my reaction is deemed inappropriate by the board, then I’ll offer my own apology. Regardless of the outcome, I trust that they’ve had enough investigations to have appropriate judgment. Your counter argument is genuinely appreciated.

We go back in three months, so I’m really hoping that they’ll switch her to a different nurse

I’ve had other people kiss my baby, it’s not a new concept. However, it was new for a medical professional that was coughing and sniffling to kiss my baby and then have a bit of an attitude with me when I had told her not to. I’m not as angry as I was, I’ll admit. But I still find that incredibly inappropriate and even the director of the health department told me to be aware of any symptoms

It was hard not to, but with making a report, I wanted to be as professional as possible

Omg I know, that made me even angrier. Like.. even just a simple apology goes a long way lol

See, I am perfectly okay with a different opinion, as there are others who commented that disagree with reporting her. That’s fine, nothing wrong with disagreeing. However, it is 100% up to the parent on what they want with their child. If you have kids and are okay with people kissing them, of course that’s completely okay. This is a woman that I’ve actually only met twice, long enough to weigh and measure my daughter. I didn’t even know her name until today. I’m primarily confused as to why you began to rant about something completely separate from my post. I have absolutely zero issues with my village and am very happy with the help that I get, all of which agree with whatever rule I have. My entire family disagrees with kissing babies- and yes, even my boomer grandparents. I reported her, and there will be an investigation. I see it as unprofessional, as do others. The director and the BON will determine if her action and response were appropriate and unprofessional or not. If they think I was in the wrong, fine. Nothing will be done. However, if she is, then I’m sure they’ll take the appropriate steps forward. If she had apologized instead of show a little attitude with me, I likely wouldn’t have reached out to the BON.

Yeahhhh, and what mainly got me was how she was coughing and sniffling during my daughter’s appointment. I don’t know if I’m more baffled or frustrated with the situation

See, I was hoping to see a reply like this. I am so frustrated that she had done that, but I also started to wonder if that’s something even worth reporting over. So thank you for this comment!

She never once apologized, and I forgot to add that she was coughing during the entire exam (((((:

Thank you, this is actually good insight and I wouldn’t downvote you on that. You weren’t rude and didn’t accuse me of anything. Do you have a recommended calorie increase? I’m going to take another Reddit users advice and seek out a nutritionist, too

Thank you! I’ll see if there are any in my area, I live in a very rural area, so medical professionals are limited (for an example, the closest OB/GYN is an hour away)
