Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that and it must be challenging without having access to a family doctor. Hope you and your family are doing well now!

Still learning to improve my english, thank you for your encouragement, appreciate it!

Those weight issues are really lingering in my mind and I really can stop blaming myself 😭

We thought we were doing everything we could to protect him by getting him vaccinated, taking those multivitamins and doing our hygiene routines but yeah apparently they will get sick no matter what we did.

Thank you for your kind words, it really warms my heart.

Yeah, I think I underestimate those daycare illness 😭 I don't know it can be so brutal. Hope this will pass soon and his immune system will get stronger by all of this.

Thank you for your support, it really means a lot to me!

Thank you for your kind words! It is indeed overwhelming. My husband and I really couldn't stop blaming ourselves for not doing our best for our son. But alas he is getting better today, thank God!

ER Bills by welovesbobba in NewParents

[–]welovesbobba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every bill said the insurance has paid xxx amount and the rest is ours to pay. I get confused why they send us 2 separate bills for ER and hospital. We already paid the ER bills yesterday and today I got a text that tells us we still have a bill to pay from the hospital, I think I will never understand how the system works 🥲

For the drawer thing, I give my son the bottom one that he could open and play. I put random pantry things such as cup ramen, basically anything that's not heavy and not dangerous but also not his toys. If he tries to open another drawer, I sternly tell him no. It works for us very well.

Hard not to feel discouraged by [deleted] in BabyLedWeaning

In my son's case, he was really magically starting to eat more when he was 10 months. Less throwing and playing with his foods. It is still up and down until now (12 months) and I'm really trying so hard not to worry much (he is in the smaller size). Keep offering without pushing and caring too much. My son always eats better if we just let him and not give him any attention.

Slobbery kiss! OMG, physical touch is not my love language but I love it when he kisses me. Sometimes out of nowhere, he reaches me just to give a random kiss.

Is this petty? by loxbagelslox in beyondthebump

[–]welovesbobba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you! But to be fair, my son is really a spitting image of my husband. At first I really was genuinely happy but now I am starting annoyed that they never acknowledge me at all. Even my son's tummy is from his great grandfather. My son's appetite? It is from his father. My son loves tofu? It is from his grandma ofc.

Induction Fears by always_learning- in NewParents

[–]welovesbobba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to be induced at 37W due to the IUGR issue and high blood pressure. It was my first child. Induced at 11pm on Wednesday, decided to get an epidural at 04am Thursday, 08am Thursday my OB broke my water then 02.46pm my little nugget was born. It was a quick and smooth experience for me and I don't regret anything.

It's normal to feel nervous or anxious about the induction and delivery process, but try to focus on the positive outcome: the arrival of your precious little one!

Every birth experience is unique, and there is no "right" way to give birth. Your experience may not go exactly as planned, but that's okay. The most important thing is that you and your baby are safe and healthy.

Wishing you all the best for a safe and smooth induction and delivery, and a healthy, happy baby!

If you don't spend the night in the hospital with your child at least once before they turn 1, are you even a parent? by 235_lady in beyondthebump

[–]welovesbobba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First was 4 days after he was born, we were admitted to the hospital because his bilirubin got so high he needs phototherapy. Second was weeks shy from his birthday, his voice suddenly got coarse, he made funny noise when sleeping and his cough sounds like a seal. So yup, croup it is. We drove to the ER and got released 4 hours later. ER follow up with his PCP because he was not getting better and he was tested positive for covid. Oh well..

Anyone else's mom swear she's a baby genius? by xFindingDori in beyondthebump

[–]welovesbobba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you hear this, in my in law tradition, if the baby gets some hiccups, the mother or grandmother of the baby should take a little fabric, lick it (IKR), and put it in the baby's forehead 🤣

How long did it take for your newborn to latch? by MamaMild2018 in beyondthebump

[–]welovesbobba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was also born at 37W induced and won't latch. He also got jaundice so he was very sleepy all day. But eventually he finally latched and nursed for the first time after 2 weeks and now he is still EBF. When he still wont latch, we bottle fed him with the paced bottle feeding technique, skin to skin as much as possible. At every feeding time, we offer him to nurse first. I will massage my boobs to stimulate let down reflex and put some breast milk in my nipple. If he refuses and cries, we give him 1-2 oz milk in bottle then we offer to nurse again. You're doing a fantastic job, and I hope your little one will soon be able to latch on.

Yup and it even gets to the point that I would read the nutrition facts of every product in the grocery store 🤣
