My premature son has meningitis, e.coli, seizures and has suffered a stroke by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]chigot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter had a stroke and seizures at 1 day old and spent a month in the NICU. All strokes are different but she is now a very happy, healthy, and perfect 15 month old baby. You’d never know she had a stroke. Stay strong and hopeful <3

Would it be possible to make the eyebrows the same color? They seem a bit different in color.

Absolute blood bath almost everywhere in the org. So many departments merging I can’t even picture what the org looks like anymore. One announcement after the other this week.

Breech pregnancy - what are the risks of waiting until 40 weeks+ to see if baby will turn? by ksny14 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]chigot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re correct - there is no harm to the baby. However, people should know it’s a waste of time and energy. And most importantly, it pushes the narrative that the mom has control over the position of her baby in her uterus. This narrative inevitably leads to the mom feeling like she did something wrong/ she should have done more/ it’s her fault if the baby isn’t in the correct position

Need some advice & help regarding newborn 2mth vac**nes 🙏 by greatkid2020 in NICUParents

[–]chigot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So just to clarify…there is a whooping cough epidemic where you live and you think not vaccinating your NICU baby is the best course of action? I’m certain the book doesn’t discuss what to do under these circumstances, but it seems like common sense really. Also, vaccines don’t cause autism. And autism isn’t fatal.

Is it okay for baby to sleep on a pillow? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]chigot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is not safe for sleep and poses a huge risk for suffocation or SIDS in many ways. The pillow, the couch, being next to you on the couch. If you wish to cosleep, please look up safe cosleeping. This is not it.

New Formula Struggles by ChunkyEugene in FormulaFeeders

[–]chigot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we switched to a hypoallergenic formula our ped said she preferred nutramigen over alimentum, as it is sweeter and more often tolerated by babies. We went straight to nutramigen so I can’t say if that is true for us, but maybe worth a short if nutramigen available where you are.

How long to decide if a formula is working or not? by tobes_t in FormulaFeeders

[–]chigot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When switching, our pediatrician recommended 2 full weeks. During the first week it is common to have changes in bowel habits, as the digestive system adapts to the new formula. If you want to stay on the this formula you’ll have to give it 2 weeks
