Yesterday was A's first day with the new babysitter. It was hard because I'm home supposed to be upstairs sleeping but I just wanted to go down and help when A was fussy. I know it'll take a little of adjustment period but A is so crabby right now, teething and right in the middle of leap 6, that I'm afraid we are going to run off the new girl lol.

Awww. That would be super hard. Maybe if you got a sound machine for your room it would drown out some of the sounds? I hope A uncrabs!
The pediatrician called this morning and C is anemic. His levels are at 9.7 when they should be higher than 11. I have to add in an iron supplement and add in different foods to try to raise it. We're rechecking his blood work in 3 months. I feel like such a failure, like I did something wrong to cause this. I'm so stressed out, especially since the foods they suggested to add in are all foods that he already eats. I can't handle it if something is wrong with my baby

Hugs. You didn't do anything wrong. Hopefully the iron supplement and continuing the foods will bring his levels up quickly.

I think this is actually pretty common. If it were super serious, I'm sure they wouldn't be waiting 3 months to retest. You're not a bad mom and haven't done anything "wrong". Just follow your doctor's instructions on the supplements and keep up the good work feeding your baby.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this but please don't feel like a failure because you're not! A failure would be not following his pedi's instructions to help LO get better or not taking him to the doctor in the first place. Don't be so hard on yourself. Hopefully the iron supplements will do the trick!

You are NOT a failure. I would imagine the reason there's a standard check at 9 months is because anemia at this age is somewhat common.
Do not go down the path of thinking you're a failure, or that something is wrong with your little guy. You're an awesome mom, and his levels will rebound.

You are not a failure! It's really hard to get iron into them when you BF because increased iron in your diet isn't enough, and you have to depend on them to eat enough of the foods that are iron rich, which is hard because they are babies and they do what they want. I'm nervous for our 9-Month because DS hates cereal, so I've been trying other iron rich foods but I don't know if it's enough. Solidarity sister.
swise22 Dont blame yourself because this isn't your fault. As someone who has always been on the low side of normal when it comes to iron, I know I have to eat foods rich in iron or I'll very easily go anemic. He will be fine, I'm sure of it! Hugs to you.

Hugs! It will be okay! Maybe all you need is the supplement?
swise22 I'm glad the office called early with the results. Fx the dietary changes help.
kellrr that sounds like a great way to celebrate FIL. I'll have to remember to think or plan something of the sorts down the road (MIL passed in December and her bday is in November).

Guise, do you want to keep doing the siggy challenge? I can go ahead and do a clickii pole for it, but I wanted to make sure we want to keep going. I enjoy it a lot, so there's my vote ...

swise22 I want to echo what all the others have said. Hugs, you are in NO way a failure, if anything you're amazing for continuing down the bf road, fx that minor modifications will get rid of this issue. Again, hugsssss.

Hmm...now I'm getting nervous about this too. My kid doesn't eat cereal, we hardly ever give her oatmeal and she doesn't seem to like meat in any form.
