I used the swaddlers on .Logan for a while
because I looooved them. Same as you, I
never had a problem with them leaking or
anything, and they're so so soft. I tried
other stuff cause I had them as gifts or
whatever, but I always went back to the
swaddlers. Now that he's in 3s, he wears
Huggies supreme natural fit. I used to
hate huggies with a passion, but these are
really good. He sleeps all night long, and
it's very rare that he's leaked when he
wakes up in the morning.

Hey, I'm sorry Gabe is fussy! I hope you
get some rest soon!
I don't know if this was said or not but I
was told by the dr. and have read that you
should *never* give a baby this young
water at all! It can cause water
intoxication and such and can be fatal. I
gave brayden a tiny sip of water to stop
hiccups but as soon as I was informed of
those facts I stopped! So ask your dr.
before you try water!

we don't have a choice since we get our
diapers from the hospital, so size 1 were
pampers swaddlers and i loved them, but
the size 2 pampers were baby dry and i
*hated* them because they had no stretch.
now he's in size 3 and they're also baby
dry but they're super stretchy and i love
them again, they're a lot like the
swaddlers. he wasn't in size 2 for very
long, i think it's because the tabs didn't
stretch.

yes that is true.
"Because a newborn's kidneys are immature,
she has a difficult time concentrating her
urine, and if given too much plain water,
may have trouble excreting it. This could
lead to dangerous changes in the
concentrations of sodium and potassium in
her bloodstream. "

I uderstand where everyone is coming
from.
But, I know for sure that my Dr. wouldn't
advise me to give my child something that
would harm her. In any way.
Like i've mentioned before, he is very
very old schooled.
I will give my next child water in between
feedings as well.

maybe it's because it's very hot and humid
where you live and he didn't want her to
get dehydrated?

ok i am not getting into this debate
again, but this is a daily occurance.
doctors make medical mistakes every day.
thats why there are lawsuits. i am not
saying that giving your baby water *will*
kill her, but it is definitely a
possibility that it *could* lead to
complications...and thats why our
naturopath says absolutely no water for an
infant, no matter where you live or how
hot it is. doctors are not gods. plenty
of them provide medical advice that can do
more harm than good. for example, the
doctors that encourage formula over
breastmilk and say that its better....give
me a medical answer break, any person with
half a brain knows that breastmilk is
nutritonally superior to formula.

i don't think he's making "mistakes". i
think he's really old-fashioned and hasn't
accepted new things. it seems like he's
just stuck in his ways.
personally, i would've found a new (up to
date) doctor long ago.
i'm not saying he's a bad man. i just
can't think of how to word things without
insulting sarah or coming across as
offensive.
edit: i think i come off as very rude
here, but that's not my intention. i'm
sorry if i've offended you, sarah!

no i am not saying that what he tells her
to do are "mistakes: per say. but i quoted
that line for a reason. she said "im sure
that my doc wouldnt advise me to give my
child something that would harm her in any
way".
the facts are...doctors do these things
every day. how can you be so "sure". there
are plenty of doctors that advise things
that do more harm than good. ie, pushing
formula on people who *want* to
breastfeed. there are other examples but i
am not going to give them because i am not
out for starting a huge debate.
i have found my son a different doctor. a
doctor who gives advice, doesnt push aap
information, and lets me, as the parent,
make the final decision. he respects me,
because i thouroughly research the other
side of things, where as most parents
blindly follow every word their doctor has
to say, without informing themselves, and
have to pay the price later on. im really
tired of so many doctors that wont look
into the other side of things. so many of
them are too arogant to listen to the
parents needs or concerns and brushes them
off. they act as if their literature is
the bible, when in fact there are much
more current, up to date studies on things
that they really should become informed
about.
ook i am done rambling for now.
