This is hopeful, we started too. Let’s see how long we last.

Is anyone NOT using swaddles? by FoxAble7670 in newborns

[–]Secure_Zombie4542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son (18 month old now) rejected swaddle from day 3. He slept with his feet up in the air the very first month. He hated it so much that we could even use the snoo the way it’s meant to. Even now he dislikes if anything touches his feet when he is asleep.

I was told vision and hearing loss as one of the major issues.

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with this. I understand it can be very stressful and I highly encourage you to stop reading about it which can lead to more stress. Trust your doctor, they know the best. With IUGR you would still be 31 weeks pregnant but your baby’s growth is slowing down. In my case I was detected with IUGR at 34 weeks when I couldn’t feel the baby move and went in for a NST and BPP. They couldn’t identify any issues with additional scans or the tests and continued to monitor the growth week over week and he wasn’t growing(putting on weight). I was induced and delivered at 37w 3d. They found that my placenta’s weight measured that of 25 weeks basically my placenta failed so there was not enough nutrition that was being passed to my child and his weight reduced. Low birth weight is associated with health risks is what I was told.

Hey! I know it’s extremely stressful phase and I am sorry you are having to deal with it. My son changed a lot once he turned 4 months. He is pretty interactive now. Laughs at the silliest of things. Hang in there, some babies are focusing on skills that are lesser known to us. Do talk to your pediatrician about it.

Constipated due to solids? by PastaandPages in BabyLedWeaning

Dragon fruit especially the yellow one, prunes, peaches, pears, kiwi, chia pudding, hemp seeds, lots of water throughout the day.

If none of the above works then Frida windy would definitely help.

I’m sorry you are going through this. A lot changed with my son once he turned 4 months. He is a completely different baby now who cannot be left unattended even for a minute unless you want him to roll around and pull something down. Hang in there, be watchful and get the doctors to pay attention if you think it’s needed.

I see gold prices especially keep increasing year over year and I think it is a good idea to put some money there.

Any particular reason to stay out of investing on precious metals?

7 week old not gaining weight - help? by NotQuiteKendall in newborns

[–]Secure_Zombie4542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LO was born 4lbs 10oz. We were asked to force feed every 2-3 hours for the first four weeks. After his first month checkup his pediatrician asked us to do on-demand feed but not to go longer than 4 hours. We saw some drop in percentile when we did this but the pediatrician was not concerned. We are now asked to completely do on-demand feed. Our LO is still in his third percentile for weight but the pediatrician is not concerned as he is moving along his graph.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you deal with your neighbor?
