Parents Anxious About Baby's Health

“I'm not asking for direct medical advice or diagnosis, I'm just curious if someone experienced something similar. 17 months old baby. 10 kg. No sickness as far as I know, vaccined, generally healthy baby. Before you tell me to "go to doctor for a check up", I already booked an appointment for tomorrow but I also wanted to hear opinions here. My baby started to pee A LOT last three days. She's eating and drinking normally like every other day, liquid intake didn't change”

“I have a 3 month old and the doctors are saying she needs a VCUG because she has moderate hydro, dilated ureter and urine in calyxes. I said no for the first few months and we had her on prophylactics but her most recent ultrasound showed the dilated ureter and the doctor says there's more of a justification for getting one now. I have read a lot of stuff online - including some accounts from people who had traumatic experiences when they were older. I've also seen some accounts (mostly”

“Our kid has had acid reflux for a couple of weeks now and he has been coughing and waking up during night time. Has anyone dealt with this issue? I already have a humidifier in his room and also doubled his pillow. If anyone has a tio I will appreciate it. I feel bad cause he has not slept properly for a week now.

A 10 month old , saying they went to Urgent Care for mouth bleeding and swelling. Was told there is abscess and started taking antibiotics. The patient comes in, no xray taken. It seems like a very laceration? but I have never seen such large and deep one in child's mouth. There was no bleeding and child did not look like he was in mu”

“Bit of a long story and at this stage I do suspect or atleast wonder if there are a few things going on. My daughter is 10 weeks old, at around 3 weeks she became unsettled and began having mucus in her poo and a bit of a drop in weight gain (never lost weight but from birth until now has moved from 91st centile to the 50th). Initially I took her to the osteo and was reluctant to cut out food groups (from what I have read exposure through the breastmilk is good), she has been a pretty good sleep”

“My daughter got a really bad Diaper rash on Thursday. Worst one she has ever had, we immediately did all the right stuff, she’s prone to yeast infections and diaper rashes and sleeps through the night even if she poops, so we have plenty of experience with care for it. This morning the rash was completely gone and she looked fine minus one spot that was still a little raw. Well we kept up with diaper changes and everything seemed fine but when we put her down for her afternoon nap we found what”

“So bubs from birth has suffered from reflux. She spits up after most feeds, her breath smells like curdled milk, she doesn’t feed for long and after feeds she screams. She then roots around like she’s hungry but she’ll latch and just fuss, grunt and cry. I have started her on infacol which she’s been on for two days. Last night she slept a LITTLE better but today she is beside herself. I fed her an hour ago and the same thing happened (crying, fussing at the breast, arching back, only fed for ab”

“My baby (10 weeks) has some silent reflux episodes characterized by gulping and dry coughs. Lately he’s been having a lot of drooling at times and he’s also cooing a lot more. But what happens is he’ll start gulping, and then can’t seem to stop. Sometimes it goes for about 10 seconds and then he’s happy. Sometimes it goes for a little longer and it distresses him. He does take some sharp breaths in between gulps, he’s turned red but has never turned blue or gray during. I know how to intervene a”

“Did anyone’s baby only show silent reflux and congestion as their symptoms for CMPA? Trying to figure out if my daughter has CMPA or just silent reflux that is causing her to have this deep rumbly wheezing sound during and after feeds. She just sounds so congested! My son had CMPA and just passed the dairy ladder at 3 so I know that increases her risk. She is on enfamil gentlease and has normal looking yellow seedy poops. It tested negative for blood at the pediatrician. No body rash. Her sympto”

“My 6 week old has mild reflux (doc told us to manage by positioning her). But it seems when she is breastfeeding (she lays on her side to eat, I use my brest friend) she has a big spit up episode once I shift her up to burp. I have tried feeding her sitting up but I have a lot of breast tissue so it’s just a lot to manage… any advice would be appreciated. I think my shoulder will fall off if I cannot find a better way lol. submitted by /u/ayyefoshay [link] [comments]”

“My 6 month old son started daycare not too long ago, and ever since then it feels like he’s sick every single week. If it’s not a runny nose, it’s congestion. Every night before bed we end up using an electric nasal aspirator because if we don’t, he can barely breathe through his nose and ends up waking every other hour. The problem is… he absolutely hates it. My husband and I have to hold him down while he screams, cries, kicks, and thrashes around. We both feel terrible every single time. We’v”

“Hey. I have a 11 month old who has alarmingly decreased her amount and volume of wet diapers. Paired with the action of gram bing and scratching at her vulva. She is breast fed and drinks plenty of fluids since it’s very hot where we’re at so I don’t think it’s dehydration i truly think she might have a uti. Please I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on what to do. submitted by /u/Effective-Tomorrow57 [link] [comments]”

“Our daughter is just over two weeks old, and she spits up quite a bit. It’s not enough to be medically concerning—she’s still gaining weight and has plenty of wet and dirty diapers—but it’s enough that we’re constantly aware of it. Once she’s done feeding and we put her down, we’re always keeping an eye on her because she’ll most likely spit up multiple times. If we miss it overnight, we’ll wake up to find her lying in it, with it all over her hair, which isn’t a great feeling. I would say we ha”

“My baby is 5 weeks and has recently started to have an issue with congestion. It sounds like he's really snotty when he breathes and he's often breathing very shallow and rapid breaths. It gets much worse at night and I've woken 2 nights in a row to him struggling to get air into his nose because it's so blocked. I feel like if I didn't wake up he might not be able to breathe and could die (hello new mum anxiety). I've been using the saline spray and nose frida which has”

“I’m 95% sure i’m overthinking this but just want to be sure. i was trying to get a stubborn boogie out of my newborns (almost 4wks old) nose. I inserted the stem of the bulb and accidentally squeezed the bulb after the fact, pushing all the air into his nose. i’m now terrified i’ve hurt his nose/head/lungs by squeezing all that air into the one nostril. it was entirely unintentional and i feel horrible and am panicking (FTM so everything makes me worried) has anyone else done this before? do i h”

“My 2.5 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with VUR, grade I on the left and grade II on the right. Before the diagnosis, she’s struggled with several UTI’s and severe constipation which have made potty training impossible. Because of this, she had to be catheterized for her urine samples every time to confirm the UTI’s, she had to get the VCUG procedure, and she’s also had to get two enemas at the hospital because she wasn’t pooping. All of this has kind of traumatized her (she has nightma”

“Baby is 6 months old. Yesterday she was happy and on a good schedule sleep, I once again hoped that this might be the day that I could start seeing a system in her daily sleep schedule. She sneezed and coughed slightly more than usual during the day, but she always sneeze some and often coughs if there is dust. She has had slightly more snot than normal, and I noticed some watery snot running down her upper lip in the evening. After putting her down for sleep yesterday she kept waking up, or tos”
