I know it's only been 12 days but I'm really tired of this back && fourth with my baby in NICU, these doctors && nurses says hes fine && telling me how he should be home in a week or so , then it's his belly got a little to big && all these xrays show no problem but yet you have to keep stopping his feedings every other day for a few hours till his belly goes back down. I really want his doctor or a specialist to come in && see why this happens if the xrays only show gas , why can't y'all do anything about it ? do I need to stop Breastfeeding, && use formula that helps with gas , what is it that needs to happen other than feeding then stopping for a few hours maybe even a day && then starting his feeding back

@forever223, nooo your comments are helpful its just so hard not to be exhausted you know ? one tells you they can go home then another comes in and says they are scared because his stomach will get big from time to time && they stop him from feeding && that caused his weight to go back down when we just got it back up 2oz away from birth weight its just a tug && pull situation with them
@aniyahsmommy0403, he still has regular bowel movements but they say he's just still has a lot of gas. they have this tube down his nose that is sucking air && everything out his stomach && they not letting him eat
But I don't think my comments helped. Hope you can find peace of mind with this..my heart goes out to you right now.
I'm sure I would be too it's so easy for me to give you advice when I'm not the one going through it 😕 i'm sorry I commented trying to help but I don't think
@forever223, this is my second NICU baby my First Stayed 4Weeks . I'm just exhausted with these different doctors saying different things.
Also! Sorry.. I exclusively pumped for my baby who spent a month in the NICU. He had severe gerd and was asperating when he would reflux giving him a pneumonia. I refused to give him formula, so changed my diet (just googled breast feeding diets for babies with gerd).. That being said his reflux was less severe after a diet change on my part, and he breast fed a year and is now two and still drinking pumped milk (I'm breastfeeding my newborn right now too lol) anyways my point is you can google things that you can do to make your milk easier to digest for your baby of you're not wanting to do formula.
Being a NICU mommy is so so rough! I always found myself questioning doctors decisions, and frustrated with everyone in the NICU. I know it's hard, but trust your baby's Doctor. (S)he is doing what's best for your baby. Just keep telling yourself that and believe it. You'll get through this and it you'll be so happy and feel so accomplished when it's all over! As for the breastfeeding ask your baby's Doctor.. I'm the mom of 4 NICU babies shortest one was 2 days, and longest was a little over a month, last one being 2 weeks ago, so I empathize with you ❤️ you'll get through this!
@aniyahsmommy0403, lol girl you fine , we still slacking with stocking up on pampers we only have like 3 bags . im horrible ..
i feel like he just has gas built up & he will outgrow that over time. hell aniyah passes gas all day now which we rather her pass gas than let it build up. the damn specialist needs to make their way over there quickly & they need to figure out wth is going on
@aniyahsmommy0403, I asked them to try him back on the formula idk what they gone do , I just don't want him to spit up again if he gets the formula.
they need to let my baby free & i really need to send his damn package 😑 im horrible.
same thing happened to Aniyah. had to put her on gentlease & her belly looks sooooo good now.
Yup, I fought with them constantly when my little one was in the NICU. I made sure to write that in the review of our stay at the NICU. It frustrated me every time I had a conversation with them
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
The amount of support that I received from my sweet friends was phenomenal! Thank you to my friends from BB and all my new friends from ML. Racism is disgusting. It’s sad because it should NEVER happen. It’s even more sad that it occurs in 2019. When you know better, you DO better. The world will never be a better place if others continue to have a racism mindset. Thanks for having my back and standing with me through such a horrendous ordeal. My heart is full and my cup runneth over! I wish I c...
I posted the day before yesterday about my friend.. & well....... her fiancé came over, AND she came alone 😐 we eat sit around and after awhile my husband takes him to the back & the next thing I know he’s coming in the house with a weird look on his face, asking her if there was something he should know, I instantly gets up just in case someone turns into a maniac....... well long story short he cried & told her how disloyal she is & how disappointed he was.. she’s crying asking me why would I ...
Poor baby 😞 hopefully that helps! They shouldn't be telling you he would be able to come home soon unless they feel confident in writing you discharge papers right then. It is very unfair to get your hopes up like that! Sorry mama ❤️
