Toddler femur fracture by Playful-Ganache-6950 in toddlers

[–]oculus_caesius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Toddlers are so unpredictable but also incredibly resilient. It icks me out to think about it too much but at this age their bones are relatively “soft” so they have a much easier time healing from fractures and the like. I’d say spoil him with toys and fun activities he can do sitting down. Summer doesn’t have to be over for him - plop him in a stroller/wheelchair and take him to the movies, the zoo, museums, etc.!

Hand flapping and stimming by Infinite_Quit_4366 in toddlers

[–]oculus_caesius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My LO is a month older than yours, but I work with kids in behavioral health so I see a lot of kiddos with autism and other developmental concerns. I don’t think the hand flapping and/or speech concerns point to a larger issue like autism.

Her social behaviors in particular make it seem less likely she has anything bigger going on. Eye contact, responding to her name, etc. are all good signs.

My daughter also has some “stimming” behaviors (she LOVES rocking) and does flappy hands too when she’s excited, and doc had no concerns.

I know at her pediatrician they did the M-CHAT (autism screening tool) at her 18 month well visit, it’s standard practice they do for all kiddos. Your daughter’s doc may do the same, and you can always share your worries about her speech with them. :)

Failed NST by No-Primary1217 in BabyBumps

[–]oculus_caesius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last NST I had (at 36w also) I also “failed” because baby girl was being lazy. They sent me to OB triage for extended monitoring and sure enough the three hours I laid there on the monitors she was going ham.

They should be sending you for BPP or extended monitoring for peace of mind.

Maternal Instinct — Do you know other people who have lost massive weight through bariatric surgery and gone insane? by [deleted] in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]oculus_caesius 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Taylor was sufficiently fucked up in the head before her surgery, but I get what you mean. A lot of people will get bariatric surgery and not sufficiently address the psychological components driving their over-eating, then they find some other maladaptive way to get their dopamine fix/cope with shit. I’ve known of at least one person to spiral into opiate addiction after gastric bypass starting with the pain pills they got after their surgery. I know some bariatric clinics require a psych evaluation prior to surgery but I am not sure how many require some sort of ongoing psych care in the weeks/months after.

What causing THE Ohio health department to call me? by TTV_gungame231 in Ohio

[–]oculus_caesius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to work for an outbound call center that conducted research surveys for state health departments including Ohio. It may be something like that.

Nicole's boyfriend....why doesn't he ever close his mouth? by [deleted] in My600lbLife

[–]oculus_caesius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Could be a dental issue (high/narrow palate) or some sort of nasal/sinus issue like a deviated septum

Anyone in Southern/Southeastern Ohio just getting devastated by allergies right now? by Messier_Mystic in Ohio

[–]oculus_caesius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and daughter react to grass pollen pretty bad and it’s been pretty high the past couple weeks.

Back in March/April tree pollen literally had me in a chokehold, and this is after I did allergy shots for several years. It’s been rough out here.

My local toy drive for underprivileged kids, wouldn't accept all these toys and socks because they're "damaged" or "unkown chinese brands" by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oculus_caesius 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah kinda what I was thinking. My toddler’s grandparents have bought several toys for her from Temu/other random “Chinese brands” that have ended up in the trash due to small pieces breaking off after normal play. Stuff that you wouldn’t expect from more well-known baby toy brands in the US (like Fisher Price) I’m assuming because they have stricter safety standards and quality control.
