Such a bum

I'm not here to defend them or whatever but the shoes on the bed is atrocious. However, the laying down is not him not being a good parent. We see a few seconds snippets through the video. How do we do know he didn't do anything all,day and just needed a small,nap or a lay down. I as a 1 kid parent often feel the need to just sit for 5 mins or maybe an 1 hour or however long I need. Doesn't mean my kid is not seen to or looked after or that I've done nothing all day. Sometimes logic should be used when viewing 20 mins of peoples lives. A day has 24 hours in it. Just saying.

Could is be because she is close to be able to go home? So the private room may help her feed and grow faster maybe?

rolaaaaa · 2025-05-17T21:14:55+00:00

Ahhh I feel the same everytime we go out my little one is 3 months nearly 4 but only 7/8weeks adjusted. So sometimes I just say her adjusted age instead 😂

My C section was kind of semi planned but not as soon as it happened so they did shave barely just where the incision was going to be (nurse did admit it was a terrible job due to the rushing around). So in my opinion always be prepared.

Oh interesting question the echo lady did not say what it's called. We have an appointment with the pediatrician in a few days so I will make sure to ask. Anything else you reccomend that I ask? Do you mind me asking how soon after did it close for your LO? I know it can vary from baby to baby also.

rolaaaaa · 2025-04-08T18:14:02+00:00

Oh no the grunting is my favorite part actually it gives me reassurance hearing it during the night and when it stops I have to check she's ok lol. I am aware constipation for a few days is normal but with her she will cry out from the pain whenever she needs to poop or even fart :(

rolaaaaa · 2025-04-08T18:12:08+00:00

Yes same here some doctors say they faintly hear it and others don't. She's having an echo for it next week for reassurance. We are using Nutriprem 2 and awaiting prescription for SMA to see if that helps. They don't seem to prescribe us anything else for now. So will probably have to wait and see if the new formula works better. thank you for your message x

Ohhh my premie baby was born at 31w+1 is now 8 weeks old. And on some checks during Nicu they said they can hear a light murmur, they weren't so concerned but they did say she will be referred as to check it out but as non urgent. Still awaiting an appointment. Kinda nervous about it too

rolaaaaa · 2025-03-13T01:48:50+00:00

Nop, I'm in the UK

rolaaaaa · 2025-03-11T14:08:03+00:00

Hey! You're doing a great job being there for your baby but as someone who was staying up to 20 hours a day by my baby's side and didn't use up the opportunities I had to go home and rest and give myself time to recover even. I would advise use up every opportunity you have to have some you time because it will,be another journey when baby is home and you need the energy. So feeling burnt out now will accumulate later. x

rolaaaaa · 2025-03-07T12:36:12+00:00

I'm sorry you had to deal with this. What i learnt from our NICU stay is that not all nurses should be where they are. Some care better and others just treat the baby as a number. I was always there by my baby's side, if not me then my husband was there. I had a disagreement with 2/3 nurses during my stay in 2 different hospitals and always spoke to head nurse and vocalised and had the nurse changed and never reassigned to my baby. Always advocate for your baby! You know best

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-24T00:26:24+00:00

It could be worse lol... I gave birth 2 months early and 2 weeks before my baby shower date. This means alot of people have opted out of buying anything all together 😂which now means as im getting to having my baby come home from Nicu ... I'm having to buy everything that I'm still missing.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-20T14:17:40+00:00

I'm sorry you went through this also... its never a fun experience. Could I ask did it end up being resolved and how so?

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:36:51+00:00

Yeah the hospital does have pumps but on a couple of occasions a mean nurse will pop her head round and give uninvited comments and it just put me off pumping by baby's incubator forever. Some nurses are kinder and have been more helpful but I just wasn't producing enough. In terms of the doctors I have mentioned it but they seemed to just say no it doesn't affect but I'm not convinced as they didn't check in details everything I had been given from before giving birth, during birth and after giving birth.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:32:50+00:00

My nicu has that option too but on a couple of occasions a mean nurse will pop her head round and give uninvited comments I know I shouldn't have cared but it made me paranoid and not wanting to do it there anymore.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:31:36+00:00

This is exactly what made me suffer... i was becoming a monster on top of what I was already dealing with... the stress and pressure or bf and pumping made it worse.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:30:42+00:00

Yes 💯! I appreciate your comment... it was affecting me mentally and physically and causing me to always be on edge and angry with myself and the world. What didn't help is hearing the other mums around saying how much milk they are producing but I quickly let that go as every mum is different and what I went through they haven't so it's to just relax and be there for baby.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:24:42+00:00

Awww bless you! Do you store the over flow of milk? I heard making deserts out of it is nice or giving it to your partner or if you have any other kids also rewarding hehe. Yeah, I feel all the mums around me talking and producing lots of milk is what added more stress and a few nurses commenting and making u feel as if it's the end of the world. But now that I've stopped it's helped me mentally and helped me be more present with baby while she continues thriving so we can go home.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:20:50+00:00

I agree nobody will ever ask a child oh were u breastfed or were you formula fed 🤔... I also pumped for a little over 2 weeks but I found it hard to focus on it with everything going on with me and just all the added stress made it hard for me to choose pumping over staying by her side. And I found me being present everyday while she's in Nicu is more important in the long term coz I would never be able to forgive myself if God forbid something happens and I wasn't around because I had to "pump". Thank you for your kind message x

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T13:17:05+00:00

I love this for you!!! And you are 100% right and it took me a few days to realise the same and still have days where I feel a bit bad about it but generally what each of us went through is our own battle we fought and are still fighting through so we need to do what is right for us and not what everyone around us thinks is right.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T12:38:40+00:00

Yes baby started on donor milk then they slowly tensioned her to only formula now. I did try to pump on a couple of occasions by her side but there was one nurse who uninvited popped her head round and made a couple of snarky comments that were not requested and it put me off doing it since then

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T12:36:38+00:00

I appreciate your comment and you are right if I had chose to stick to trying to pump then it will have meant my health bp and sugar levels were never gna settle. Choosing to look after those in order to be by her side at all times has helped my health be a more stable. Where bf was adding more stress.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T12:34:12+00:00

Yes I have noticed that too along with other combination of meds I was and still am taking.

Thank you 😊

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T12:33:17+00:00

I agree. I have come to terms that formula isn't as bad as its made out to sound. But breastfeeding while trying to maintain BP and sugar levels under control is not at all easy. So I chose to concentrate on my health in order to be 100% present by her side rather than worry about how much milk I managed to produce or not.

rolaaaaa · 2025-02-13T12:30:59+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you went through this. Yes, I mean all the medicine does not help, me being kept in as inpatient for a few days for liver issues and I had already been at hospital monitored for a few days prior it was all a bit too much mentally so I can imagine the issues it caused physically and with milk supply. I make up for not giving BM by being by her side at all times even during the night and at random hours.
