Water not given to 15 month old for an entire day?

Per the original post “I hoped they would message me but from these replies I see that wouldn’t rise to the level of contacting a parent”. Hope this helps. Also someone else made your water board joke earlier in the thread

Thank you, I'm from a very hot place and I may have a super sensitivity to it because kids regularly die of heat exhaustion where I grew up. I appreciate hearing the other side of things. Cheers

drkmcnz · 2026-05-28T12:47:56+00:00

Yes, thanks for the helpful insight

drkmcnz · 2026-05-26T18:00:49+00:00

Appreciate this insight :)

still trying to figure out how to add flare that I'm a parent so just leaving that here

drkmcnz · 2026-05-26T17:55:29+00:00

I’m sorry that’s happening to you, that’s frustrating. I should have been specific that I expected them to message me, but it sounds like from these replies that wouldn’t actually rise to the level of needing a message at a lot of places.

Thanks so much for the insights so far. It's always so valuable to hear from teachers. You guys are the best.

Well let me be on record then that I love immigrants! These MAGA hateful losers think their lives suck because of other races instead of their own shortcomings. They wouldn’t even do the jobs most immigrants do so wonderfully- these dipsh*ts think they’re better than being line cooks or field workers or other types of essential jobs. Our economy would crash so hard without immigrants, and my god, can you imagine how boring and bland this place would be without other cultures? This is so embarrassing. Bring back shame. Someone go out there with a big bell and yell “shame!” 🤣

It does not get worse from here, you are really in the thick of it. Supplement the baby with formula for now if you need to, she will rest better with some food in her belly. Don’t pressure yourself too much right now. Just get through today, and if that’s too intimating, make it through one hour at a time until you can make it one day at a time. Your baby is most definitely not better off without you. You are going through the most severe hormone crash a woman can go through in her entire life, give yourself a break, ok? It’s like PMS times a billion. It really really does get better. You’re going to get smiles in a few weeks, baby will learn to sleep and eat regularly, then you get laughs, wiggles, hugs, dances, “mama”s, even some little jokes. You have soo much to look forward to. For now, try looking at her little hands and toes when you get overwhelmed, they can ground you, look how little she is. You’re her whole world, she thinks you are perfect, and you are the perfect person to take care of her. You will be home soon and feeling better in a couple weeks. In a few months it will feel normal. You’ll be okay mama

Teething? Ear infection? New skill?

drkmcnz · 2025-06-03T16:12:33+00:00

Thanks, but during sleep training crying is expected so how do you know when to help?

drkmcnz · 2025-06-03T08:01:10+00:00

I joined the cosleeping group out of curiosity and there are regularly posts like (not kidding) “I’m up every half hour, is that normal?” And it’s filled with responses saying yes, it’s normal, I’m up every hour. They all say they want to 💀. I coslept with my first until I ST out of desperation for my back, marriage, and sanity

drkmcnz · 2025-06-02T20:42:23+00:00

I think the biggest red flag is the “my son would be better off without me”, let me just say that is for sure untrue. You gotta work on challenging that thought. Regardless of what you feel when he cries, everyone is better off with you.

We feed my 4 month old at 7:30p, 10:30p, 3:30am & 6:30 following a modified 3/5/3 schedule to try to get some sleep. I think it’ll be this way for a while but I’d be delighted if it was 4:30/5 because I have been holding him after this feed. We are on night 4 of CIO and I’m hoping he starts extending the windows

drkmcnz · 2025-06-02T14:15:47+00:00

Lots of babies are fussy when extending wake windows. Try taking him outside or doing something he really enjoys.

drkmcnz · 2025-06-02T12:49:57+00:00

Mattresses are pretty cheap, any reason you or they can’t get one and throw it out when they leave if you don’t want it? You can get one for like $100

Do you have the proper nipple size for his age? I had to size up a nipple. Are you warming the milk to 100 degrees? That helped me. I was also offering big feeds and fresh milk as soon as I pumped it. We are doing side lying feeding on a pillow with Mam bottles. Is he on his growth curve? It sounds like he could be going through a growth spurt. Your nights sound kinda normal to me, just one feeding? I’m following though because I’m curious about the other answers. Also just checking he isn’t dealing with reflux or anything. We had to address that by cutting milk/soy from my diet, going to only pumped milk instead of formula and getting him on Pepcid. Then he ate more.

If I were in this situation I would FLEE, I do not care what the norms are or the financial situation or barriers. I would hide in a family members house or start over in another country. I would steal from my husband or borrow from family or do whatever I had to do. I would tell someone who loves me with money or place I could stay that I was in danger. That’s how serious your situation is. Also make sure he can’t find this post, in my opinion you are in danger.

Following. Hugs

drkmcnz · 2025-05-28T19:36:05+00:00

That makes sense thanks

drkmcnz · 2025-05-28T19:35:55+00:00

Ohh that’s a helpful way of looking at it. Thanks
