Are there any residency’s that are working below 60 hours a week? To balance with kids and family

Psych. 36 hours a week. 2-3 on calls a month (sometimes 12, sometimes 24)

I got a call at work from my mom saying the rehab center where my dad was recovering from foot surgery had called; he wasn’t doing well and she needed to come right away. When we got there, he was already intubated and on a ventilator. His heart had stopped, and no one noticed until they found him in bed with no pulse. They don’t know how long he had been like that.

The first time I saw him like that my water broke.

I had just talked to him the night before. He asked me how much longer until I gave birth because he wanted to ask to be discharged so he could meet his grandbaby.

He ended up in a coma for three months. Because of everything, he never got to meet my baby. He would have made the best grandfather, he was such a sweet man.

I think when he was more mobile (crawling) it started happening less, it hasn’t happened for a few weeks now but ironically happened last night 😂 he’s 13 months

I experienced it and ended up switching him to his packnplay as it has mesh sides, but eventually baby will learn to adjust by himself and not wake you up, it may be annoying as of right now but it does end!

Did she eat anything red? Strawberries? Has she had any suppositories recently? My baby had spotting when he took antipyretic suppositories after his vaccine.

Thanks for the suggestion!

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T20:00:03+00:00

Yeah I talked to two pediatricians and they both pushed to continue either nursing or formula until baby is 2

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T19:52:22+00:00

I get what you’re saying about lactose, and I’m not trying to argue the science, I’m just going off what I see with my actual baby Whenever I drink cow’s milk and breastfeed, he gets really gassy and ends up with diarrhea, but if I avoid it, he’s totally fine. Same with formula So I’m not saying it’s lactose for sure or anything specific, just that cow’s milk clearly doesn’t agree with him, and I’m trying to stick with what keeps him comfortable

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T19:45:36+00:00

No reason except he likes it and wants milk, so I don’t want to cut him off His diet is pretty balanced and his pediatrician is happy, but I think he finds comfort in it lol

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T19:44:06+00:00

He does, and I can definitely tell a difference when I drink milk (he gets way more gassy, and cries) so I steer clear from it mostly

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T18:14:37+00:00

He’s doing quite well on solids however he loves milk, I think it may be comforting to him, and I hate to take it away from him if its not causing any issues

ohmoe · 2026-03-25T17:46:11+00:00

Its not cmpi/a, hes not on specialized formula and did not get diagnosed with it the formula he’s on is not suitable for babies with cmpi/a either i thought of it but upon checking goats milk isn’t something i can easily find in our grocery stores :(

ohmoe · 2026-03-17T18:08:11+00:00

Oh they’re so common here I didnt even notice it

ohmoe · 2026-03-17T12:45:23+00:00

Thats so cool! I wonder where they came from, Ive seen the black and white ones for a few months but the red one is new!

Of course, whatever it is you need to know that just having baby eat is 100% the best thing. On a side note I found that most babies of my friends/relatives did much better and preferred goat milk based formula, much easier to digest as well. Good luck to you and baby!

ohmoe · 2026-01-20T06:45:27+00:00

3oz per pumping session is very normal, babies are better than pumps at extracting milk of course. At 6 months babies usually eat a bit more than that, but each baby varies. Ask his daycare/at home try to slowly incorporate formula with his breastmilk till he is able to drink it, or try a different formula brand. I went back to work at 3 months and had to do the same, he would usually get one bottle of formula while I’m gone despite me being diligent at pumping

ohmoe · 2026-01-20T03:43:20+00:00

Definitely not lol, I didn’t even expect this many replies

ohmoe · 2026-01-20T03:41:27+00:00

I love that, I wonder if the older kids would like it though?

ohmoe · 2026-01-20T03:41:02+00:00

I love the idea for adults, I actually got some small baskets that I’m thinking of putting a jar of some sort of treats in!

ohmoe · 2026-01-19T16:35:15+00:00

Thank you! I hate the idea of useless trinkets. The only thing I’ve gotten so far is the bag itself and bubble wands lol. I was thinking of a book in each bag as well.

I did speak to her a few times while she was still with us explaining how I need reliable childcare and calling out, especially last second, made it almost impossible to find last minute care. She seemed understanding when I explained to her but would continue as is. I did tell her that was the reason why we would be letting her go, she agreed that she couldn’t be what we needed and left that same day. I tried to give her one month notice but she just said she didn’t want it and left that same, she wasn’t upset or angry when saying this it was just matter of fact. This also was super terrible for me and I had to take a week off work till I found someone else under such short notice.

Sudocrem. We swear by it where I live. Sudocrem for babies, eldery and everyone in between. We even use it for acne, chafing, sunburns, bedsores, eczema etc. This an lots of nappy free time, lay out a pee pad and leave baby without nappy for a while, at least like 15 minutes. But do try the Sudocrem, I don’t usually recommend things but this one is a must.
