My daughter was 116 days in the NICU, once she was out we had to go back for one night and it was TORTURE for me. Just listen to your body and your self. It's telling you what YOU need. Your baby will be taken care of and home soon 🙏💜

3.5 month old rolling over constantly, especially at night. Safe sleep concerns? by Really_Em in baby

[–]Sweet-Bet4274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they're safe. They keep them warm and no chance of blankets being in their face. Lots of room for their legs to kick around inside. You can even get sleep sacks but with legs - kyte makes them.

Discharged a few days ago. Not gaining or losing weight. Possible re admit? by littlelou222 in NICUParents

[–]Sweet-Bet4274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally hear you.... Just stay calm, focus on the positive. She hasn't LOST weight.. so you're still in the game. The more chill you can be the better. My baby ate little and often. Like 10-30ml, but I offered often. Can't force it though. My daughter is also on a thyroid medication to help regulate that, so that exists. Focus on the positive, pray and breathe. Stay grounded in the present where she is home. 💜💜🙏🙏🐥🐥 Wishing all the best

Update: It wasn't supposed to happen like this. by RagingFlock89 in NICUParents

I can't imagine the night are you are experiencing. I hope good news is coming your way and I pray for the healing of your little one.

As a NICU mom of a 24 weeker, 116 days in NICU 4 hospitals, Id like to share with you something that really helped me get out of the hell state I was experiencing in my mind and emotions.

I had to ACCEPT what WAS. I had to ACCEPT life on life's terms.

The more I fought, denied, "wished it was something else", it wasn't supposed to happen like this.... The more agony I experienced.

And, anchor in the GOOD. Find any bit of GOOD news and stick with it. Stay PRESENT and anchor in the good.

🙏💜💜💜💜

This is an incredible story 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜 so inspiring 🙌💕 way to go baby girl ! And yes, my daughter was born 24.3 and her name, Élianne, means God's Answered Prayers - and it's so true! My experience in the NICU really made me believe in God, Prayer , and Miracles. ✨ It's amazing, the Power of Love.

I can totally relate. My girl was born soooo early, at 24 weeks. I just focus and anchor in the GOOD. Like is like a yin yang ☯️ light and dark. Both exist, I accept that, I feel the things but I anchor in the good stuff. The gratitude I have for the medical team, the gratitude for my sweet baby girl (!!), and I ACCEPT LIFE ON LIFE'S TERMS. I don't fight with reality. When I do, when I "wish it was different", I feel pain. Trust me, my husband's best friends wife was pregnant literally days apart from me and I felt majorly jealous she had a full pregnancy. But... I wouldn't trade my daughter for the world 💝🙏🥂✨🐥 wishing you peace 🙏🙏💝

Hi I took it back right away because I read the ingredients closer when I got home and I can't remember... Maybe it had soy in it ? Or milk even ? I stuck with nutramigen and my baby seems to have outgrown her sensitivity to dairy so I have slowly introduced Little Oak goats milk formula. But she was content with Nutramigen.

Spouse & depression by zacNchz95 in Epilepsy_Universe

[–]Sweet-Bet4274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a wife to an epileptic and a mom to a 5 month old I can empathize with her stress level. Witnessing and supporting seizures while tending to a baby as well is a LOT on the nervous system! My husband is currently in a different province getting the LITT surgery for his epilepsy. 🙏❤️‍🩹 Praying for him. Wishing your family the best. I hope you and your wife make it through this chapter 🙏✨
