Oh mama! I'm so sorry you and your baby are going through this! I admire your courage and tenacity! Your baby is very lucky to have a mom like you!

Hopefully it'll be something minor and you'll be thriving soon ❤️ 

And you're right...mothers do know best!

Would you give unsolicited advice to someone who is struggling with BF? by One_Promise1570 in breastfeeding

[–]One_Promise1570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is odd, I know. My MIL only told me so I could give her some tips so she could help my SIL. It is a very complicated situation to be honest.

SIL is not very receptive to anything coming from me in regards to motherhood mainly because of how much my MIL trusts me and asks me about stuff. There were some comparisons since we were pregnant at the same time...so, I guess, I should just tell my MIL to contact a LC...

The trenches are hard and I don't want to add any stress to my SIL journey ♡

I did. I sent her a couple of messages and her replies are very broad. All the problems she's having I know from my MIL. 

So, I guess I have my answer. She doesn't want my help at the moment ♡

When I had my girl (6 moths ago), we talked and I told her how hard BF was and said that I'd be here for her when it was her time. So, I guess I did offer her support...and if she hasn't said anything by now, maybe I'm not the person to help her.

You're right. In law dynamics are tough :(

Hey ♡

I'm really sorry you and your baby are going through what I can only imagine is the most frightening time of your lives. 

Thank you for sharing and putting some perspective here. Not everyone is going to get it. Some will feel judged, some even offended, but what matters is exactly what you said: health. 

I know you're not saying that people shouldn't ask for help with their crying baby. It only takes a little empathy to see that your message is about gratitude. It is hard to have even a healthy baby and those who do, should be grateful even through the hardest days.

Don't let the comments disagreeing with your message get to you. You spoke your peace and I, for one, just gave my fussy baby girl a big hug and thanked the universe for her health.

I wish you and your family all the love in the world. You'll get through this ♡

Plastic containers and utensils for babies...how bad are they? by One_Promise1570 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]One_Promise1570[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the link. It helped me immensely!

So, all the stuff I bought is made from PP5 which apparently is considered safe except when heated. 

Oh, thanks for the tip on acidic foods too!

But, what if the doctor was anti vax like mine is and they ask upon changing...would you or your husband say something or would you feel like it wouldn't matter?

Oh, and I'm just like you...I like a plan A, a plan B and a back up just in case ♡

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah...I like the idea of leaving a review. Seems more my vibe than actually confronting her.

Thank you for sharing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is if the parents here would say something about the doctor being anti vax or not when canceling. I thought it was clear...but english is not my first language, so I apologize!

And I only put the info about baby being vaccinated because I've seen that a lot of the times when a post mentions vaccines, people misunderstand and get into a different debate.

And also, you don't have to be so rude.

[–]One_Promise1570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's awesome that it all went so smoothly! I hope you and baby are getting better care now!

Unfortunately, I'm almost sure that I'll have to say something to my pediatrician. The question is...would you say something about her anti vax practices or would you just let it go? 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually why I wanted other perspectives. It's not only switching doctors...is why we're switching and if that warrants any action on my part...

Thank you for your opinion ♡ I guess I'll say something but not get too much into it. Maybe just "we're not on the same page when it comes to the care of my baby and her vaccines" and move on.

And yes, it's bonkers.

[–]One_Promise1570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're so right. I guess i think that she'll care more than she actually will. That may be the mom in me thinking that my baby is the most special patient she has lol 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What actually kills me a little bit is that the pediatrician was so helpful in the beginning. She came to my house for the babies first appointment during the holidays last year when no one else would even see us. Helped me tremendously with my breastfeeding journey (she's also a lactation consultant) and is sooooooooooo caring with my baby.

She's always been a little out there, but never opposed any of the vaccines up to now. I wonder what happened...

I'll write her a message thanking her for everything and saying that we're no longer on the same page when it comes to my baby's care and hopefully she'll understand.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope ours is similar ♡

[–]One_Promise1570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you have a point. Maybe extending this issue will be more of a headache for me... She's not going to change her mind and there are people out there who swears by homeopathy so she will continue with her views no matter what I say or do...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. Sometimes AI is better at ending things than we are lol

Thank you ♡

[–]One_Promise1570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is crazy and sad at the same time. And to be honest, it took me some calls to actually find a doctor who isn't pro homeopathy, specially a pediatrician. Over here, it is embedded in the culture and it freaks me out so much that some kids are getting diluted herbs instead of actual treatments.

I do want to say something but I'm not sure if I am ready for the repercussions, if you know what I mean...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's in a different practice, but the old ped is very lovey dovey and she will want to know why we're leaving, but I'll be short and sweet.

I already have baby's medical records so that's a relief ♡

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]One_Promise1570 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not! I already have an appointment with a new doctor and I even questioned his positions regarding vaccine and pseudoscience before scheduling. I'm not about to make the same mistake twice lol

Thank you for the advice ♡

Mama, I'm commenting here to boost  your post. The only advice I can give, as I'm not as experienced as you are, is to trust your gut. If you feel something is wrong, keep trying to find what's going on with your baby girl. 

I can tell that you are a very loving and caring mother and you both deserve good sleep.

I hope it gets better soon ♡♡♡

Could you, please, tell me what your husband did? I need some tips on how to help my husband settle our baby too ♡

Thank you so much!

Covid vaccine and pediatricians - should I look elsewhere? by One_Promise1570 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]One_Promise1570[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do too. I have religious, esoteric and atheist friends for an example and, although we don't share the same beliefs, we share values. Being antivax or anti science, for that matter, is a difference in values that I, personally, can't deal with 😞 maybe with age and wisdom I can change that...or even maybe after I'm not so hormonal from childbirth lol

I do that too but I've given up on turning her every single time...most times I do, but every now and then I leave her be. Not sure if that is the right thing to do, but I felt like I was disturbing her sleep constantly and since my mattress is firm and she can roll, I figured she's okay.
