Dr Thondup
My baby is only 13 days old so I have limited experience with Dr Thondup though he came to see me everyday while at the Matilda (6 days), was present at my c section and we had a follow up visit last week. My husband is an attorney and therefore a no nonsense, give me the bottom line kind of guy. He also likes Dr Thondup. Mostly because the day our daughter was born, Dr Thondup told me how I would feel on day 1, 2, 3, etc. and how my daughter would react. He was 100% right. She lost quite a bit of weight while waiting for my milk to come in and Dr Thondup was never worried and very encouraging. I think a lot of other Drs would have started her on formula or whatever. He also is very up to speed about pediatric care in the US (where we're from) and has tailored our visits to coincide with the medical care we'd receive there. So he is very familiar with how breastfed babies develop, etc. He's also predicted when our daugher would go through growth spurts (based on her weight loss) and how she'd nurse - he's been exactly right. I believe his office visits are $650 and it's definitely worth giving him a try.
However he is very busy so do remember to write down all of your questions. I've read the fact that he's busy bothers some people but we're fine with that. Yvonne Heavyside also runs a well baby clinic in his office on Mondays.
