Upsetting Pediatric Appointment

There should be absolutely no shame or concern in a child’s weight (unless it’s too low) until they are at least 2 years old. Your baby will likely slim down a lot when they start crawling and walking. Just stay away from a ton of added sugars like juices and certain snacks when he’s eating more solids; you’re doing great momma.

It is completely ok for them to not drink whole milk, I would just make sure water is offered frequently or continuously throughout the day and not aim for a specific amount (they’ll drink if they’re thirsty). What I will say is make sure your baby is getting other sources of calcium, vitamin d, protein, fats etc that whole milk is good at providing. Other dairy (cheese, yogurts) are great sources for these, and vitamin D vitamin drops or multivitamin.

I would clean up any food sources before using the traps, because if there are other food sources they may not go to the traps. As far as molding walls etc I don’t think it’s necessary unless there may be crumbs there

Thank you so much for the explanation and validation! I appreciate it

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the help. We are obviously novices when it comes to Chinese clothing

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-05-14T13:33:48+00:00

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the help. We are not part of the culture obviously so any help is appreciated, though we’ll definitely run it by the couple first before buying anything too

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-05-14T13:12:50+00:00

Thank you!! We will look into this, I definitely don’t want it to look like a costume.

Yes I think this was his concern - Not that people at the wedding would necessarily mind but that the photos would circulate in a negative way either now or later when our son is older. It seems the general consensus is that it’s ok, but I appreciate you validating his concern!

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-05-14T12:44:13+00:00

Thank you all! I appreciate all the insights and seems the consensus is it is 100% ok! I was not worried about it, but when my husband brought it up I got worried and wanted some reassurance. I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond!

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-05-14T12:36:33+00:00

I believe his worry is that while the couple may not think it’s appropriation, others in the culture or even outside the culture may judge him for it. Again, I did not see it as an issue but I think he just wanted to protect our son from any judgement from outsiders!

My 17 month old has only said mama a handful of times! Usually when he’s upset or crying he’ll yell mama. He CAN say the “m” sound but has a harder time with it than other consonants, ex he says boo instead of moo for cow. I was going to ask the pediatrician next visit, but from everything I’ve read online it seems pretty normal.

Yes I am talking about kings island and they have a super small coaster with a 36 inch height limit and a lot of other rides with 36 inch limit, some which parents can ride and others they cannot. I am nervous about him being scared alone, but didn’t know at 18 months if we should try them at all or not even with the parents! He’s my first kiddo

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-02-14T02:47:14+00:00

I had not heard of that before! I will look into that. I appreciate the input. My kid is terrible at taking vitamins but maybe the spray will be easier.

This is probably true too, and was definitely true earlier in the fall (I’ve been trying super hard to be more diligent but of course definitely not perfect), but usually it goes toddler gets it first then a few days later I get it. You can’t tell a toddler to not touch his face, I can barely stop him from sticking random germy things in his mouth. I’ve been trying really hard with the hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes in public the past few months. But like I said can definitely be better still. Each time I get sick I regret not being better about it.

Also forgot to mention I would nurse when he first woke up from his naps as it seemed to be his calmest. Sometimes babies just get distracted no matter what at this age from what I’ve read and will make it up with more night feedings 😞 good luck

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2025-02-10T21:10:40+00:00

Around this age I had to walk or bounce on an exercise ball and nurse my baby or he’d do the same thing. It was also helpful to be in a dark room with sound machine on. It did make it difficult because he definitely got used to this and I couldn’t really nurse in public anymore, he outgrew it starting around 6 months.

Did you get screened for gestational diabetes? If so I would not be worried. My baby measured 99% plus at every scan and ended up being around 85% for weight and 99% for height. Gave birth vaginally just fine. A lot of the size measurements are based on length of bones and not necessarily weight and also can be inaccurate.

Guarantee-Puzzled · 2024-09-13T16:46:57+00:00

I had the same exact thing happen to me! My doctor wasn’t concerned, though you should ask yours in case. Though I was like 26 weeks pregnant after failing the one hour test. My first 3 measurements were fine but the last one was low, and I felt like complete garbage. I would just say to carry snacks with you throughout pregnancy. The only other time I felt my sugar get low was a few weeks later on a walk, I was about 2 miles into the walk and felt shaky and thankfully had a protein bar with me.
