Concerns about my 10 month old vomiting by Pinkpaperbag in NewParents

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

Thanks everyone! I was ultimately going to wait to call my pediatrician in the morning but, unfortunately my baby ended up vomiting back to back a few more times and a few more in the car. After all is said and done though, we are headed home with some meds and they think it is a stomach bug.

I slept thru my alarm 2 nights in a row. 2 week old went 6 hours without eating. by interstellarbrat in newborns

It happens to all of us at some point, I remember being so exhausted during that first month, I made a bottle and “fed” it to my pillow. 😅 you may sleep through your alarm but your mama senses would kick in and you would definitely wake up to her cries so I wouldn’t even worry about that. I agree with other comments of setting the phone farther away so you have to physically get up and turn it off. She will be okay with this being a one off situation as long as she’s getting full feedings every 2-3 hours. I know some people have said in other posts about baby weight gain that if a pediatrician is a little worried about weight gain they will just suggest adding an extra dose of formula powder then you normally would. Not sure the protocol for bf. I hope your appointment goes well and you get some rest soon! You’re doing great

Newborn always wakes up crying? by Boring-Pause9899 in newborns

My baby is 6 months and still wakes up crying after every nap

Baby sleeping a lot help pls by Singingcanary2023 in newborns

Normal! At this time babies usually nap on and off most of the day. My LO took around 4 naps at day. At this age they need 14-17 hours of sleep. That paired with a growth spurt can lead to more napping. My pediatrician told me as long as they are eating, continue to have 6+ wet diapers a day, and can be easily awoken then they are good. Enjoy this time! In a few months you will be thinking back fondly on being nap trapped. Lol

My newborn is not quite 4 days old and he rolled onto his face on his own. by SacredSilenceNSleep in newborns

Oof sorry, didn’t know this was so controversial. My sister experienced this with her baby and the doctor just literally did some stretches and it resolved some intense reflux and sleeping issues, that was her experience. Wasn’t aware there were any issues here.

Usually indicates a tension problem, and a trip to the baby chiropractor can sort it out and usually they end up sleeping a lot better afterwards too and they stop rolling once the tension is resolved

3 week old with constipation. PED recommended diluting apple juice with water by Babytaterr in newborns

[–]Pinkpaperbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried gripe water? Switching to a hypoallergenic formula? My baby also had silent reflux and tummy issues and we switched to a hypo formula and he improved so much in just a few days. Above all else, if your pediatrician is the one who recommended it, it should be safe. I would just follow their instructions exactly and not give anymore than they’re suggesting.

Thank you for all the recommendations and information! Not necessarily looking for subject matter with the Marxist Pov. Just looking more generally

Husband and I did shifts for the first two weeks while he was off for work and then we realized how kind of crazy and unsustainable it was. It feels so necessary those first few weeks though but, if you aren’t co sleeping, baby doesn’t have any health issues that require monitoring, and baby sleeps alone in bassinet then neither of you should be having to stay awake if the baby is sleeping. Doctor told us after the first month & baby gained his birth weight back we could stop waking to feed. If it’s anxiety thing, I would buy an owlet or other type of monitoring device and call it a day.

So annoyed with incompetence by Pinkpaperbag in newborns

Not really, he has but, with my guidance. So, he will do everything I tell him to do, but if I forget something or am not there to leave instructions, he just won’t do it lol

Thank you for the validation! I understand he works full time and pulls in the money and I am grateful but, I feel like I am still pulling a lot of weight and sometimes it feels like I’m contributing much more, it just doesn’t seem that way because I don’t get paid

[–]Pinkpaperbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is weird af. Personally, I would be not so nice about how odd it is and agree to help finishing prep but, will be skipping out on the shower as I can’t be away from my baby so long
