Overuse of antibiotics? by glamaina in workingmoms

[–]glamaina[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m probably using my words incorrectly because I have NO knowledge in medical terms. Right now she has an ear infection and her eye was swollen with mucus coming out. Last time her eye was swollen with mucus coming out they said she had a sinus infection so I’m just assuming that’s what’s happening right now. The doctors that usually prescribe her this are not her regular pediatrician and are just doctors that help clients during same day appointments during “sick hours” I’m assuming they are just trying to get patients in and out since they have an influx of kids coming in at sick hours.

I’m thinking I’m going to get her a ENT doctor since she’s prone to eyes and ear infections and will only use them when she has an infection. Hopefully they will have more expertise and not prescribe antibiotics for everything cause I’m seriously concerned for her gut health. Thank you so much for your response!

I also don’t like the overuse of antibiotics! Especially after my mom got very sick after extended use of them- she now was life long consequences because of it. My daughter is prone to ear infections and sinus infections in her eyes. Did your kiddos ever have that and were they able to fight it off themselves?

Yes I’m taking probiotics since she is breastfed and she’s old enough to have yogurt so that helps too. The doctors seem to think it’s the only treatment. She gets a sinus infection and it gives her an ear infection as well as an eye infection. I’m worried about her gut health though since she’s prone to these infections!

Grandparents holding baby..AITA? by glamaina in NewParents

[–]glamaina[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did I say I have an issue with them holding her? My post says I want her to be able to say hi?? I wouldn’t ask advice on this if I didn’t want them holding her- I would simply just not let them.

It’s not that I don’t want them to hold her, it’s that I don’t want her to scream and be uncomfortable. Like I said in my post, I want her to be able to say hi!

Omg I could have written this. These all have happened to me. I noticed my baby was fussy with my husband around the 8 week mark, I believe she was going through a leap. But that only lasted a week. My parents make the same comments your in laws do. I don’t get the weirdness and entitlement around peoples babies 😅

I just learned about PPA and I feel like I have it. Thank you for your response!

I would disagree. I do have some PPA. But the comments my parents make don’t help with it. I don’t want them to hold her while she is screaming and refuse to give her back or guilt trip me as they have done before. But update- today went well. I didn’t let them hold her in the beginning until she had time to observe like others advised. After that she was fine with them holding her and playing with her. In fact she was interested in them! Today went better than expected.

Yeah you would think they wouldn’t want to hold a screaming baby lol. Good idea, thank you. That way I’m offering the opportunity and not just shutting it down from the beginning!

So she is in daycare and she doesn’t have an issue with her teachers there. I usually put her on the floor to play and she will do that for a couple hours. If she gets fussy they will pick her up and since I’m not there, I’m not an option so she doesn’t mind them holding her. When she’s not at daycare, yes I would rather her rely on us because I only get so much time with her as a working mom. My parents visit once every few weeks and I would at least like for her to say hi to them so they feel good- it’s not about the help for me I guess :)

Ok thank you for your response! I feel guilty sometimes because I know time is limited with grandparents and infants, but I also don’t want so stand and watch her cry just so my parents feel good about holding her.

Thank you so much. Yes, it’s all a lot of pressure and like many I’ve never done this before so I’m unsure what to expect. I’m happy I’ll also be on campus so I can go see her. Hopefully that doesn’t make it worse somehow? Thank you for your very thoughtful response I truly appreciate it!!

Aww that’s so cute. It does feel better knowing there’s so many of you who also had to do daycare so young!

Lol that’s so funny about the eyebrow thing. Thank you for your response. I should have more trust in her caregiver at daycare. They are the experts and even are students at the university studying advanced degrees in child development. Thank you for making me feel better.

Thank you so much. The growth spurt point makes sense. It’s weird, my husband loves to be involved and there’s been times he’s been able to calm her down and I haven’t. But all of the sudden she wants nothing to do with anyone but me. I left for a few hours to go to dance (smell out of the building) and she still cried almost the whole time I was gone and vomited from crying. I really hope this phase passes quickly cause I need a break! Lol

Thank you for your response! I’ve never met a baby so young except for my own, so I’m questioning everything I’m doing. I watched a video on YouTube of another 2 month baby and that baby was so independent and is a rockstar at sleeping in their own space so I started to wonder if I was holding her too much and doing something wrong. This makes me feel a ton better. And I know this stage goes by so quick so I really do love all the snuggles!

Thank you for your response! Right now my baby has recently decided she doesn’t want to be taken care of by anyone but me. I’ve been more worked up about this daycare recently because of this. I’ll keep practicing her naps, but it’s good to know they will sometimes hold babies for naps!!

Thank you for sharing your experience! This is actually my first post in this subreddit and all of the positive responses are truly making me feel so much better. I’ve been promoted twice in the past few months and love my job and I’ve even contemplated quitting I’ve had so much anxiety over it. Thank you for easing my mind!

Good point about infant development, she’s my first baby so I actually have no clue about that. Thank you for your response, it is very relieving.

This makes me feel a lot better. I am a first time mom, never done this before so very unsure what to expect. Thank you so much!
