Ugh I got a call from daycare today that they're worried about N since he isn't mobile or sitting up yet. They did keep saying that he's really young and small, but at the same time it may be a good idea to check with his pedi. I wouldn't worry too much since I know there's a huge range of normal, but these people work with babies all day everyday.
I'm really glad I have my first appt with the therapist this week. Is it Thursday yet?

Is that something daycares normally comment on? I just think it's kind of weird that they keep making comments about it, didn't they talk to you about it before? I feel like that is your pediatricians job and there is such a huge range in babies development by age. If your pediatrician isn't concerned, why are they? (I could have also just missed part of this backstory in which your pediatrician is concerned, and if I did, sorry!)

Not exactly; they were originally going to keep him with the smaller babies because he wasn't mobile, but then moved him anyway. Not sure why, though? But they said at that time that we'd reevaluate about mid Sept.
But no, the pedi wasn't concerned at his appt a few weeks ago. I am going to call tomorrow just to check and see if I should be concerned. I assume she'll say that he's fine and to keep doing what we're doing.
So sorry to hear this. I was really hoping for good news for y'all. Are you considering applying for jobs again yourself? Or not since S won't take a bottle?
I think we can make it until January, but I doubt I can stay home much more than that with DH at his current job. That will get us to a year EBF and I can start weaning from there.
I'm sorry about the job. Hopefully he finds something else so you can stay home longer.

I'm not sure if daycares usually comment on things like this. But this morning I did mention to one of the teachers in his current class that I wish he was sitting up so I could set him on the floor with his friends in the morning. She said, "he'll get there. Some just do it in their own time." So maybe his main teacher was concerned and they talked about my comment? So then they called me to talk about it?

There is a baby in DS's class who at 10 months couldn't or wouldn't move herself to a different position or spot. She could sit if you sat her down (DS is this way), but there was no getting down or if she was on her belly no crawling or rolling. Just wailing until someone got her and moved her.
Babies now crawl later than our generation because they sleep on their backs. I wouldn't worry. The sitting will come with practice.
cougarette my baby is supposed to be sitting on his own now or I need to call my pedi? O can tripod but he's definitely not sitting straight up unassisted and not without me there to catch him. Wtf?

This is my exact comment to the day care. Every kid is different in their development.

DH finally cancelled our dreaded AT&T cable service. Way too much money spent on them. We will have no internet until the weekend and our phones barely work in the house. I might be MIA for a while or limited to posting at the office while pumping.
When I picked up DS, he felt really warm to me. Daycare lady was like, "he's been napping all day long and didn't want to play at all. I think he's sick." I called at midday, they didn't tell me any of this. The lady also told me they checked his temperature and he was fine. Nope, DS was/is running a fever at 101.5F. Gah, I hate this daycare so much. I wonder if that's how DS got sick, they let sick kids hang out. I'd totally stop by at lunch had I known he wasn't being himself.
DS hardly ate all day, he's been in bed since 6.30pm. I actually hope he wakes up soon for a feed so I can check his temperature again. I'm feeling so sad my little guy is unwell, I wish he'd still bed share so I can snuggle with him. Now I'm looking into getting a nanny instead. I don't think I can handle him getting sick all the time.
Other mommas with babies in daycares - how often are your babies ill when you first start?

PikoPiko wow I feel like most daycare centers err on the side of too conservative when it comes to fevers/sending kids home. Not yours, apparently. Hugs.

PikoPiko All the time. Got a cold transition week that turned into the croup. Diagnosed with broncolitis twice and a viral rashes and an ear infection, all in the first 3 months. Doing better now. Daycares are petri dishes.

PikoPiko DS also got a cold his first week at daycare. In the 4 months he's been there he's had 2 colds, 1 stomach bug, 2 ear infections, and pink eye. But he also had a cold while I was still home on mat leave.
Not only does my daycare call if he's running a fever, they also note if he isn't acting like himself in his daily sheet, and they sent an email yesterday about the pink eye that's going around with their policy on when kids can return.
Honestly, though, it doesn't bother me too much. I mean, I hate when he's sick, but I know he's working on his immune system. And there are plenty of SAHMs on here with babies who get sick too.

Also, when I mentioned that DS may have pink eye my cousin said that her daughter recently had it. They had been at my house a few days before. Her daughter isn't in daycare. Could be a coincidence, who knows.
Basically, kids are going to get sick. But if you're unhappy with that daycare in general, definitely shop around.

PikoPiko DS has been in daycare about 3.5 months and I feel like he's always sick. He got a cold his first week there. He's also had diarrhea and a fever (separately). The colds seem to be never-ending, though some are worse than others.
