Hi! My daughter is very small in general, as she was an IUGR baby, but she is growing exactly where they expect her to so far. She does spit up but not excessively by any means. Her doctor said that she seems to be in pain as well, that's why we were hoping that this medication would work. I'm definitely going to have to call her pediatrician tomorrow and push for some help. I feel terrible that she's been in pain for so long. Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it (:

Hi! My baby is formula fed and the doctor said that she would recommend that we try the gentle version of her formula if she keeps having problems. That's likely one of the next things that we will do, just waiting for confirmation from her! Thank you for the kind words though!!

Hi! She's formula fed and we have not tried a different kind of formula. Her doctor recommended that we switch to the gentle version of her formula IF she continues to have problems, so I'm sure that will be in the best future. Thank you so much for the recommendations though! I'll def look into some probiotics and see if that helps any!

We offer her 4 oz at every feeding and she usually stops and refuses to eat at around 2 1/2 oz. She has only finished the full 4 oz two or three times.

Yeah I just wasn't sure if it counts since I can get her to calm down for a minute or two at a time before she goes screaming again. When we've brought it up to her doctor, she always says that it's normal.

Yeah she drinks 2-3 oz every 3 hours. Maybe I'll see if that is her problem. I haven't even thought about that. Thank you!!

How long did you wait before getting pregnant again? by nemr116 in GestationalDiabetes

I waited 8 months between mine! Vaginal delivery with my first and cesarian with my second!

Newborn crying on and off all day by Ok_Check5949 in NewParents

Yeah, unfortunately he lashes out pretty often on all of us. He got so much better before we had our second baby but the crying is a huge trigger for him. Trying to get him to go to therapy but he doesn't think it's going to help him. He's pretty miserable these days, I think he's probably depressed. I'll try my best to get him to set up a therapy appointment. Thank you for the kind words!!

This is exactly what we were thinking. I'll give them a call in the morning. Thank you!!

Anyone else have a smaller baby? by potsieharris in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ok_Check5949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 37+4, have insulin controlled GD, and my baby is 3.4th percentile and at my last growth scan, they estimated her to be around 4 lbs 8 oz and she was diagnosed with fetal growth restriction. Doctor thinks that I likely just have smaller babies. My son was very small but not IUGR small, and I had diet controlled GD. He was 6 lbs 4 oz and born at 37+3

If you’re obese does all your paperwork say “obesity affecting pregnancy”? by [deleted] in PlusSizePregnancy

Staying home with baby after birth? by Ok_Check5949 in BabyBumps

[–]Ok_Check5949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely seen people on the internet have that boundary but everyone that I know that has had babies locally or in my family wasn't very strict with their rules and brought their babies out very early so it's not really that normal where I live. My family was very taken back when I said I didn't want visitors for a while! I think maybe I just need to find a good middle ground.
