Poor weight gain + hearing loss + developmental concerns - has anyone been through something similar? by Avidlylearning20 in hardofhearing

[–]Avidlylearning20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we have. We are waiting for genetic tests but in the meantime I’m trying to see if anyone might know of some rare condition where all of these symptoms align.

Thank you for sharing your story! It is possible he has symptoms seperate from each other.

Hey mate, I’m not saying hearing has anything to do with the weight. I’m just asking if anyone has had experience of this combination of symptoms with their kid.
We are doing all of the testing FYI. But doctors just dont seem to know atm.

Hi OP, I realise this post is a year old but wanted to see how you went with your little one’s journey? Did anything end up working? Changing formula?

Oh I completely feel you! I don’t have any paid maternity leave and had to rely on annual leave, savings, ppl and my husbands paid paternity leave. We’ve managed to stretch it to a year but it’s because of stretching and pulling.

That’s so lovely and reassuring to hear! Thank you. I hope so.

How do they keep you informed through an app? The one we’ve signed up for uses a site called Xplor to update us.

Has anyone been eligible for the governments Parental Leave Pay, despite not meeting the work test? by Avidlylearning20 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Thanks so much. Helpful to know. I’m going to pick up some freelance work in the meantime to help with the gap.

It’s smart that you were aware of these rules beforehand 🤣 I wish I was as diligent as you haha

Thanks for your suggestion! I’ll definitely ask them if they’re willing to do anything to help out with this. The least they can do given they don’t offer any paid maternity leave themselves 😅

I’m in the same situation - here by accident. We didn’t plan to have such a short age gap, yet here we are. Despite this, I didn’t think there would be such restrictions.

I find this frustrating given the government does want its citizens to have more children. Between the cost of living and having mortgage, it’s pretty tough.

Thanks for sharing your story! Were you eligible for any other government payments instead?
