Like the antibiotics are clearly working for her infection but it’s day 3 and the mood shift after antibiotics is very obvious. This happens every time, but we’ve been fortunate to not have to deal with infections that often.

You might talk to your doctor about using a different antibiotic, they might be having an allergic reaction to that one. I don't have many allergies, but I know Doxycycline* will make me projectile vomit if I don't eat a giant pasta meal immediately before hand (and even then I feel queasy). There's a bunch of broad spectrum antibiotics you don't just have to take the first one the doctor prescribes you; you probably got that one because it's some combination of cheap/readily available/few side effects in most children I am not a doctor or medical professional *Pretty sure they only prescribe Doxycycline to people 8yo and up

My 1 year old for the past few days has been stopping while crawling around to purposely bang his forehead (once) on the floor. It’s a weird behavior and hard to Google because you get an the articles about head wounds. Anyone else seen this?

Yeah we got cefdinir (?) because she reacted badly to amoxicillin last time and handled cefdinir better. I dont know what the deal is because she is going loving crazy. Just straight screaming at the top of her lungs over the smallest things. I know some of that is toddlers.txt but she is a very explosive kid and this is still way out of the norm for her. We’ll talk to the doc about a different prescription.

It's awful, I'm nauseous all the time and just so tired and miserable on it. Every dose leaves me nonfunctional for about 4-6 hours.

Many ear infections resolve by themselves in 2-3 days, which means you can’t always be sure the antibiotic actually helped. It might be worth talking with your doctor about waiting a bit longer before trying the meds?

Not the floor, but glass cabinets. Extra fun on the anxiety front. She got bored of it after a couple of weeks and stopped doing it so frequently.

Got myself a case of tonsillitis and pray to god I won't infect the baby. At least we're all sick before Christmas...

Hadlock posted:What is everybody's transit time to their daycare, or how much extra time does going to daycare add to your one way commute To add some context - we live in downtown Chicago, and we're driving literally three miles to a place on the near West Side. Driving through the Loop at rush hour is just that terrible that this takes an hour. When we started this daycare, which the was one of the only relatively affordable ones around, it was during prime COVID and there was very little traffic. Everyone was working from home, so we got a very rose-tinted look at the commute, if you can ignore the whole world-changing pandemic thing. But now that most are back in the office, it has become an insane, stressful commute that is slowly grinding my wife and me into paste. We've been hit by two Uber drivers in the last 18 months (thankfully, minor accidents and no one was hurt) and had so many close calls. Fortunately we are able to move our daughter to a place in-neighborhood starting in January because she is now two, which will turn the commute into a five minute roundtrip walk. We're pretty happy, and obviously very privileged to have the option. Graviija fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Dec 12, 2022 |

hallo spacedog posted:Sorry you're dealing with this too, it really sucks. And if you're super lucky one of you will get it from your kid even if you're really careful. I think we, at least, managed to not catch kid's conjunctivitis. She has been clean for 4 days now which should be past the incubation period. We're both semi-obsessive hand-washers. I guess that's finally paying off? Of course, instead, her mother caught some sort of flu so we're counting on me and baby having that within the next day or two... (I wish there were reliable RATs for omicron! Would be really good to know if that's what she's having...) Re: eyedrops, do you get those on prescription? Here, they won't prescribe any antibiotics unless it's not clearing up by itself within a few days. Ours just required gentle cleaning three times a day, then it cleared up by itself. So I guess the policy works.

Daughter just vomited all over her crib. New sheets, new load of laundry, a bath, and a few stories and she’s back to bed after ~2 hours. Doesn’t help that she had like 8 of her favorite stuffed animals in there and now I’m scrubbing them as clean as I can get them for the morning time. Also unless she’s magically feeling better tomorrow morning it looks like they are missing daycare tomorrow. Not like I need the time to get stuff done at work or home tomorrow!

With the assumption that your daughter has a stomach bug of some sort, you should keep her home for 48 hours after the last incident of loose stool or vomiting. Also, plush toys with vomit on them go in the machine wash, otherwise she'll just reinfect herself with them. Noroviruses do not confer short-term immunity, so they can keep circulating around a household until you've gotten your hygiene straight.

I didn’t know plush toys could go in the machine! This is the first time my kids have gotten bodily fluids on one of their stuffed animals. Useful knowledge for later. And yeah she’s staying home today and tomorrow. No more vomiting since last night (and no diarrhea yet thankfully) but she said her stomach hurts. Poor girl.

Ah gotta love keeping a kid home an extra day after being sick because they seem tired then they perk the heck up after dropoff hours end. Glad she’s feeling better but I would’ve appreciated it if she’d felt better 2 hours earlier.

I'll say, for example, "We need to stay inside right now" when he's pulling on the door handle. He'll turn, give me a silent cry, then bend over and carefully bang his head on the floor, then hold his head and cry. I've just been saying "I know you're disappointed that we have to stay inside, and I see that you banged your head on the floor, but let's go play with XXXXX", and he's been doing it a lot less. Be glad your Googling didn't take you down the autism path, like mine did. I was just like "nope, closing the tab".

The suspected gastro appears to have been confirmed strep, maybe gastro too (based on wife’s symptoms), and, in addition to that, confirmed round two of RSV. “Good” news is that so far RSV was way worse last time around.

I set up my future kid's car seat (he's due Feb. but I figured I might as well try it out early). Unfortunately I couldn't get it to sit at the correct angle in the middle, it was rotated too far forward on the bubble level. At least that's before I tightened it down, the bubble level could be centered after tightening it. Next best is passenger side rear. Only weird part is that the seat belt for the middle seat has to go behind the car seat, since the seat belt for the middle is anchored between the 2 LATCH mount points. I'm not sure where to put the buckle though. For now I've just gently put it behind the seat so it won't flop around, and it won't be in the way of the back of the seat either. Unfortunately there's a piece on the seat belt that prevents me from just hiding it beneath the cushions. Any idea what to do with it? Vehicle is a gen-3 prius, carseat is a chicco keyfit 30.

Read the manual. Then read it again. Then read your car's manual to see what it has to say about car seats, because sometimes they do have things to say about them. Your local fire station should have someone on staff who can help (call ahead they may require appointments), and IIRC Buy Buy Baby has trained technicians available as well. They all install differently and the manual should show you exactly how to install them. Be careful with the LATCH anchors, they make things easy sometimes but they also have several limitations. edit: Not to say that nobody here can help you, but with dozens of different car seats installing to thousands of different cars, there's no real general answer. Maybe post some pictures?
