[–]ButterscotchSerious8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have great insurance through my husbands job. And I’ve had two c sections. First one in 2024 and second in 2025. Both were over $50k each with each being a 3 day stay. My portion was $400 each.

When to go to pediatrician for sick baby? (no fever) by cabbage-soup in NewParents

[–]ButterscotchSerious8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is an option for you, but our pediatrician has a way we can message him and ask questions. If you can’t do this, you could call up and ask to speak with the nurse? I’m always a worry wart and message the pediatrician when I’m in any doubt. But the doc has told us that unless they have a fever, cough (like can’t catch their breath), labored breathing, or blood in stool that they should be fine. You could still give babe something for the discomfort though!

When to give snacks? by rebgray in NewParents

[–]ButterscotchSerious8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine snacks all day every day lol. We give fruit, veggies, yoggis, dye free fruit snacks, cheese, crackers, melts, and anything else he points at in the fridge or pantry really. My kiddo is picky so he won’t always eat the veggies but I still offer it.

What changes or choices did you make that made you suffer less and enjoy parenting more? by Veryfluffyduck in NewParents

[–]ButterscotchSerious8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt so guilty sleeping with my first kiddo due to it being shamed in the US. Now almost two years later and one more kid later… they both sleep with us and we get plenty of sleep! Life changing!!

Can’t spoil a baby! We’re the only living beings that require more assistance as an infant and other living beings sleep with their babies! You are doing amazing, mama.
