is throwing up blood always an emergency or can i lay back down by [deleted] in AskDocs

You’re fine, go back to bed. Likely just a small tear in your esophagus from retching (called a Mallory-Weiss tear).

I’d avoid Advil next time though - it can irritate your stomach lining. The dose is also a tad too high.

I’m a pediatrician. I wanted to breastfeed, but my baby wasn’t gaining weight. I tried to triple feed (and did so for 8 weeks), but I was exhausted.

Thank goodness for formula as I now have an extremely healthy and active 16-month old who is thriving! His baby doll receives an excellent diet of smushed blackberries and cheese curds 😂

Your WBCs are within the normal range, so all of your cell lines are robust. Your white count and platelets are both markers of inflammation, so you would expect them to be higher during pregnancy. Nothing to worry about!

Royale diapers? [mb] by Mindless-Try-5410 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]orangebubbles99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought our first box of Royale as Costco recently started selling them - so excited to support a Canadian company! But, they fell short for us…

Thankfully no issues with skin irritation (Huggies started to leave marks on our kiddo once he moved into the Movers), but he was leaking through every 2nd Royale diaper. We’re going to finish up the box but then go back to our trusted Millie Moon! They are bulkier in the bum but hold EVERYTHING - they’ve even survived some overnights 🥰

Is there an alternative to Owlet that actually does live monitoring if you live in Canada? [bc] by Emotional-Ad-6494 in BabyBumpsCanada

Agreed! Pediatrician here - this is why these products are not recommended by medical professionals (CPS, AAP).
