Has this happened from any momma- my son is a little over a month and I have mittens on him and find small small spots of blood on them and he places his hands in his mouth frequently. He also tugs on his ears and this was in the last 24 hours (tugging ears and hands in mouth constantly) now a week ago I found blood on his bottle. We went to the drs today she looked into his mouth and ears and nothing was wrong. Overall he’s healthy. She said the blood is concerning and she wants him to see a ENT dr. Is this too extensive? Should we wait it out over the weekend bc it’s been in the last 24-30 hours now. Bottle attached from a week ago.
I may actually take her advice bc it was one time. His mouth checked out fine.
His GI specialist who I spoke with afterwards said she’d wait it out
I have no experience with this! But I would definitely follow through with the doctors thoughts. That is very strange...do you breastfeed at all?

“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...
I’ve posted about my defiant toddler many times before but I’m really at a loss now. She deliberately disobeys. Like, she knows what “no” means and if she’s doing something she knows she’s not supposed to I can ask “do you want to go in timeout?” And she’ll answer “no” and SOMETIMES stop.. I can’t take her anywhere cause she refuses to listen. She runs wild, screams, throws tantrums etc. At home she’s just as bad and absolutely nothing I do or say helps. Timeout doesn’t work, hand poppings don’t...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

I would honestly take him. I would be concerned if there's blood and the doctor said everything external was fine. You don't want to let it get worse and it could take a bit to get in with the ENT.
