I'm really worried about my friend and her daughter. Her daughter isn't even a year old yet and...

My son had to be put on a specialized formula called Neocate… he couldn’t digest/break down milk protein. It was not as extreme as what you’re describing, but that was the worst my mental health has ever been, watching him suffer until they figured it out. It was terrifying

I hope your friend gets answers for her baby, and relief. You being there to listen is a huge help, I’m sure ❤

It’s one of the most devastating situations in life. It’s not fair a baby has to go through such a life threatening situation. It’s not fair a mother has to go through this. There’s not much you can do to help the situation for a better outcome but you can be supportive to your friend, letting her know you are there when needed with whatever support you can offer. I was hospitalized with my youngest but the critical moment of the stay at the hospital was luckily not longer than a couple of days. I wish for all the best for the baby and your friend. They’re lucky to have you in their lives.

Awww, I hope they can figure it out! I know how scary it can be when your baby isn't getting nutrition, we went through it with mine for several months and she got down to the 3rd percentile for weight but eventually rebounded. Hopefully your friend's child will get a diagnosis and an effective treatment soon!

Aaaawwww I'm sorry to hear that, poor baby,😥🥹🥺

I knew a lady who had the same/similar issue with her baby, her baby was diagnosed with a metabolic disorder.. It's extremely difficult on everyone and a lot of hospital time involved 🤗🤗

Oh man. I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s especially hard on parents when their babies are in NICU or the hospital. Been there before and it was rough.

Prayers for your friend and her family. 😔
