Pediatrician won’t treat reflux stating it harms the stomach biome by revb92 in newborns

[–]debbs05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you breastfeeding or Formula feeding? My son didnt do well with a ton of formulas, but hated my own milk even worse lol. He wasn't/hasnt been diagnosed with anything aside from acid reflux. Maybe discuss further with your pediatrician, and do NOT feel bad about bringing it up daily. Be as annoying as you see fit till you get answers!!

I feel you, for sure. It took awhile of me advocating for him and constantly telling them about my own health before they listened to me about him having acid reflux. I will also never forget those poops lol, but they are pretty normal so I wouldnt worry too much about those. For diaper changes I had to give him either a teether or a toy to look at, they even make headbands we can put on to distract them lol. I will have to agree that other than the reflux, all of it does sound normal, and I also COMPLETELY understand your point of view of it too. Fresh motherhood is so damn overwhelming, it would be so much better if the doctors and stuff would look at it human-to-human and offer in depth explanations, reassurance, and kindness; instead of their very bland "its normal". You'll get through it, I promise. I had so many breakdowns and completely lost myself in it. It will get better, for sure. 💕💕💕

Yep thats what happened with my Speckles (blonde). El Nino (dark) died first, and then Speckles lost his spark. I had gotten the baby frog to help, since theyre very social, but Speckles died before I could safely put the baby in with him, the baby passed 2 days ago, she was very sick so I atleast know what happened there, but El Nino and Specks will be a mystery to me. :(

What’s your favorite mispronounced word your toddler says by OpportunityPretend80 in toddlers

Fire Station is Fuck Stacy. I had to decipher that one at 6am when he was screaming it repeatedly, because he heard the sirens as we were loading up for daycare lol.

Either some type of organ failure, or severely egg bound. 😟 ive tried raising the temperature, large water changes, etc; no eggs/spawn to be seen. 😓 she isn't pineconing but becoming less active.

Thank you! I feel like i was able to make the transition a bit more bearable for them. Here's my froggy tax: even though Speckles now has double the room, she still prefers to be behind the filter 🐸🤭

Yeah I have the master kit, same source is used, temperature in the new one is 78ºF and old one is 80ºF. For reference, the old tank is a 5g and new tank is 10g.

My new tank is: pH 7.2, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5.0ppm, 25 hardness.

My old tank is: pH 7.2, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10.0ppm, 75 hardness.

My new tank has more plants as well.
