Feeling like a failure today.
Found out his low thyroid was due to malnutrition. He was nursing often and seemed good, but I was literally starving him. He never cried like he was hungry and he had normal diapers. But he managed to loose 2lbs over 3 months. Finally found a formula that he liked and he gained 300mg since check in. He came close to needing a tube but he finally took the bottle with less than 20min left on the countdown.
He was so smiling and happy I never would have thought. 😩
Just happy that he’s gaining it back.

Yours not a failure, you had no idea!! You were doing everything just right. You can't blame yourself for not knowing. I'm so glad he's gaining now. Keep your head up. ❤❤
Awh, momma. You are not a failure. You were doing all that you could with what you knew. I’m so glad he’s thriving now & finally took to a bottle. I was waiting on an update from you. ❤️❤️
Awe glad he's ok. Your not a failure you didn't know.
You are not a failure! Hoping he gets better 💙
The Drs are super shocked they expected him to gain 20-50mg overnight and he did way more. They told me they usually would keep us for 5 days but they don’t see a reason to. So they are sending us home today with a follow up on Monday. I just can’t believe I didn’t notice it. We’re together 24/7
@knockout, he’s such a strong little man! Don’t blame yourself there was no way you could have known. But thankfully it was caught in time. Stay strong mama
How did your pediatrician miss it though?
His last appointment was @ 3mo then his 6mo appointment was canceled due to Missouri snow/ice and yesterday was the reschedule. She’s the one who noticed it at the appt
You're not a failure glad lil man is ok
