So I been watching a 9month old baby for a few days... his mother is 22 and very Naive ... he hasn't seen a doctor since about 3 months, she doesn't remember what hospital she had him at.. n the last 6 months he was drinking regular milk.. my cousin and I bought Formula, baby food, wipes n diapers for him.. the problem is that he hasn't been seen n a while and I called a her a few hours ago to get her permission to take him to the hospital because he was acting lethargic, however after I left she left shortly after and he didn't get tested for anything... I feel so bad for this child because his urine stinks any he pees at least 10 to 15 times a day. He's not on insurance nor does it have a doctor... it's so sad...

@mommy2bee2 we bought 2 cans.. but his almost done with the second.. n I doubt his mother will buy him anymore because she focus on trying to get her car fixed and move into her own place.. she been through DCFS twice with him... so I didn't want to be the reason she has to go through it again.

@rickyrayates93, i understand but it's clear that there are some issues in the situation. it's not my place to judge at all, but it is essential a child, let alone a small baby receive medical care. that's a form of child neglect right there and it could be possibly something going on with his bladder/kidneys 🙁 it's just sad

You really need to call social services. That's awful

@mommy2bee2 I really think so... that's why I took him.. but I know she denied treatment because she left after I did and before she came the nurse said his urine test would take a few minutes. My cousin said I did all I could do and I should leave the situation along.. but if this baby pass away because of something so simple it's like im at fault too because I smelled he's pee.. I seen his in distressed and as a mother of one and 6 weeks pregnant.. plus I have a 8 years old who passed shorty after birth.. I know when something isn't right...

@rickyrayates93, exactly you know something isn't right so you either convince her to seek medical attention or seek it on your own and if authorities get involved so be it. his life and health should matter more than someone being upset child services is involved. it's clear that they need to be in this situation.

I just took him to the hospital, she said they were going to help her get on her feet and better foods for her baby.. n that he is healthy ... but I don't think she let them do the urine test

@ninaberrygood15 the doctors said he was health.. I just took him.. he's back on Formula...
Netta Wuensch·
Formula helps with water intake that’s why the regular milk shouldn’t be given right now!! Get the pedialite it will help him.

@rickyrayates93, get it boo. I’m telling you it will help.

@ninaberrygood15 I'll let her know... she said her husband use to make sure all the food and appointments where in order before he got sent to jail so she doesn't know to much ... but now that he's locked up she's learning what she need to do for herself and baby.
Ps. She has seek some professional help .. as long as she's trying ima not calling social service but if that changes I will have no choice.
