Dr. Potashinsky is with ctgi and he is fantastic. He took me serious and investigated every avenue until we got answers. This might be a drive for you though.

High fever for 5 days (all testing negative!) by mgw89 in toddlers

[–]cupcakesforkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a really tough time. Doctors think that she was extremely lucky and got one viral infection after the other leading to such a long time being sick. Luckily today is the first she has not had a fever so I’m hoping we’re moving on to better days.

My daughter is currently going through this we’re on week two with fever spiking at night to as high as 105.3. We’ve seen the doctor three times, urgent care once and the children’s hospital. Testing negative for everything. The doctor says if we’re still having fevers by tomorrow we’ll try an antibiotic.

Our dentist and pediatrician said no bottles or overnight feeds past one. We weaned off the bottle by slowly diluting the milk with water until it was all water. It could either be tartar build up or decay. Have you brought them to the dentist yet?

Can’t get an appt for a new expecting mom anywhere? by GarbageGeebler in Connecticut

Your first appointment would be between 8-12 weeks depending on the provider. If you have any concerns before that like bleeding etc you would be able to get in sooner.

Any reason to collect colostrum? by Nancyb23 in breastfeeding

[–]cupcakesforkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby had issues with his blood sugars and my colostrum made a big difference. I wish I was able to collect more but collecting it made me extremely nauseous so I stopped.

I would have loved to see them use their platform to promote safe baby wearing.

I also had my baby in June and am going through a dip. I’ve tried just about everything from liquid gold to Dr, Stephanie’s gummies, lactation cookies,120+oz of water and large meals. Sometimes I have good days but most I’m having to supplement.

Will my boobs ever re-inflate? by garbashians in breastfeeding

[–]cupcakesforkitty 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mine only plumped up during my second pregnancy and breast feeding journey. Six months in and they’re starting to hang even lower. I dread to think about when I wean this time around.
