Seeking advice/comfort; severe reflux. We have the happiest, most content 12 week old. She sleeps great, rarely fusses so it was hard to see anything was wrong. at around 9 weeks she started to have a hard time eating - only taking 2 oz a feed. Her percentile started declining and she’s now plateaued :-/. We’re seeing GI and feeding therapists, tried fomatidine and it’s not working. We’ve been waiting on a PPI medication that insurance currently denied. Anyone go thru this / have encouragement?

We went through this. Happy healthy kid who at 3 months started refusing the bottle. Honestly we pushed through. Feeds would take an hour. We would sing to him, give him toys to play with whilst feeding to distract him. It was so so hard. Things turned around the 6 month mark when he started taking solids and sitting up. I found the 3-6 month period tough, felt like I was force feeding him but otherwise super happy normal kid who met all his milestones just percentile dipped 2-4 months. You have to be pretty consistent and patient with the feeds but you’ll get there. I feel for you though - it was rough. We also found feeding him in the car seat / upright position helped

More: I also gave up dairy 6 weeks ago, now eliminating soy. We’re currently doing formula only (alimentum) for the next 5 days while I eliminate soy. This is on top of a very difficult BF journey with low supply (that has been slowly increasing week over week). I think I may transition to formula which is its own emotional complexity alongside the feeling of failing our baby on missing signs/seeing her struggle with eating.

We never went down the medication route / no allergies

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
