To create a new law where babies and children are seen just by paediatric doctors
To avoid allot of miss diagnosed babies who suffer along with their mothers and families, to avoid babies being given meds and prescription milks even if they don't need it

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about care for new parents and babies is a matter for the NHS and individual clinicians, not the Government or House of Commons.

If you are concerned about the care you have been provided you should contact your local NHS Trust about this.
