I had one until I was in my twenties, when a doctor cut it during an unrelated surgery, without serious issue. It depends on the severity.

I am envious of those for whom shifts worked. We tried it for a few nights but our son was frequently most fussy at night for the first month or so. Neither of us was fully able to deal with crying and screaming for longer than an hour by ourselves without some assistance. After that terrible first month, he started to become a very good sleeper and shifts became obsolete anyway.

Im guessing he just caught a bug but still will call to be sure. Other big thing is keeping the baby away so he doesn’t get it. Isn’t there no support for the idea that teething causes fevers (>100.4 degrees)? Why do people still believe this?

We both tested negative on the binax take home test, and nobody has a fever, but man even if it’s not COVID, it shows how easy a virus can spread. Any time I see a kid at daycare with a runny nose, I figure I have four or five days before I am sick.

Our son preferred cold, straight out of the fridge formula! But yes, if you are mixing it up, it is preferable to do a large quantity at once in a mixer which gives a better mix than doing a small amount in a bottle anyway. I used ~30 oz boiling water (I don’t think it is necessary for it to be boiling but it is way more convenient than boiled/distilled) and then put the various bottles in the fridge and threw anything out after 24 hours or, if he had had any of the bottle, an hour.

We use Huckleberry and, although we don’t really need to use it anymore, it continues to get updates like better support for solid foods and a better view for the sleep summary. I ended up getting a one year subscription when they made the sweetspot a premium feature. I’m not sure that is amazing value but it also didn’t exactly break the bank either. If I had a three month old, I’d probably pay for the subscription again.

Someone gave us a non-brand name forehead thermometer that, while I’m sure isn’t perfectly accurate, works surprisingly well, is very easy to use, and is definitely good enough to indicate that a baby has a fever. But I’ve also forehead thermometers that are way off like one that said I had a temperature of 106 when I was perfectly fine and another that gave identical readings for five different people and had inscrutable controls.

The three kings are better than the odd and incoherent agglomeration of traditions that Santa represents so if I were to lie, the choice is clear. E: The weird representation of Santa as a feudal lord who despises abnormality in the 1964 ”Rudolph” TV special is hilarious though.

I’m not a physician, but my understanding is that the vast majority of SIDS deaths occur before 6 months and the peak is between 2 and 4 months. That being said, we didn’t want to take any risk and went the route of extra caution vis-a-vis sleeping arrangements with the exception of switching to sleeping in a different room at 6 months. I think the guidance on solids in the US is much more variable than that on SIDS. Honestly, it anecdotally feels very common to start at 5 months.

meanolmrcloud posted:Is there any pointers in helping a baby start walking? Ours was quick to crawl, sit and stand, but she won’t take more than a few steps with a walker before plopping down. I know I should let it come naturally, but my wife and I were both walking by 1 year, and she is one year and one week. I wouldn’t really worry about it now to be honest. It is perfectly natural to start walking later. Ours started taking steps at 13 months and then switched to almost exclusively walking at 15 months. He wasn’t really into walkers at all for what it’s worth. King Hong Kong fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jan 7, 2022 |

With pediatric care, I think we’ve had a fairly different experience with PAs (all of whom have been great thus far) vs. MDs (including an anti-masker, one who prescribed a medication not recommended for children as young as ours, and one who did the aforementioned croup script).

Two naps was pretty good. I think we got a 1 hour nap followed by a 2 hour nap for the first part of that phase and then a 2 hour nap followed by a 40 minute nap for the second part of that phase. One nap is horrible when it is too cold to go outside and you are just stuck for a five or five and a half hour wake window.

We got the flu (positive for influenza test) from daycare and were out a week and less than two weeks later, we got a cold from daycare (negative for COVID, RSV, influenza). Within two days of returning to daycare from the cold, we got informed someone had a positive COVID test so now they are closed for ten days. Just convert the daycare into a health care facility or infectious disease lab at this point. Maybe I’ll be able to actually work in a few months.

We flew with a 17 month old last month and uh… I would not recommend it. Well, in truth it was mostly fine except that we can’t fly anywhere we want to go without a connecting flight, which meant his nap should have started during boarding on each of the second flights. This, as you might imagine, did not go well.

Emily Spinach posted:I think "baby having a random day of fever" is just going to be our sign that she's caught something new from daycare and we should be prepared to get sick too. Pretty much. Our son got sick again over the weekend (as did I a few days later). My wife took him to the clinic on Monday since he seemed to have an ear infection and apparently he tested positive for a coronavirus which (may have) caused a pandemic… 130 years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever been tested to discover which virus caused a cold.

Koivunen posted:These dang kids got me sick again. They both had another respiratory infection turned ear infection, and then I got it. Lost my voice on Sunday, it’s very hard to parent when you can only whisper. Last night I slept for all of one hour before being woken up by my ear popping, then a bunch of ear juice leaking on my pillow. It kept popping and leaking all night, I didn’t sleep at all, ended up calling in sick AGAIN. Daughter was wide awake from 2-4am and ended up screaming about wanting a particular blanket, and waking up the baby. They slept for another hour before it was time to get up. Took the now healthy kids to daycare and took myself to urgent care and my ear drum is perforated, and apparently bubbling. Got in a nice couch nap though. I’m kind of surprised the build up to your perforated ear drum wasn’t more painful. I’ve had that happen three times and it was terribly painful each time. I feel like I was this close to ear infection #3 for the year with the last illness. I can’t wait for the weather to improve (also because it’s like 8 degrees outside right now lol).
