Clueless gps gave wrong breastfeeding advice

The general practitioners at this clinic are absolutely incompetent. I visited due to an infection, and they ludicrously claimed that antibiotics and ibuprofen are off-limits while breastfeeding - which is completely false. Both my midwife and health visitor explicitly confirmed that these medications are safe. When the GP commented "he's looking a little yellow, isn't he?" I was stunned - as if I'm not already having regular midwife appointments and closely monitoring his jaundice, which is actually improving. Their level of ignorance is astounding. It's genuinely concerning that these healthcare professionals are responsible for patient wellbeing yet make such basic errors. My midwives even recommended filing a formal complaint, which I had already initiated after the practice refused to offer face-to-face appointments when they should have been available. In fact, 111 has already submitted a formal complaint to the NHS regarding their practices. My advice: save yourself the frustration and register with a different practice. These doctors are utterly useless.
