Summary
Babies are…weird. They make funny noises and do things so strange that it can be alarming. So, how do you figure out if it's just a ‘baby glitch’ or a real medical emergency that requires an ER visit? In this episode of Momcozy Village: Together We Grow , host Lalaina Rabary sits down with Dr. Kailey Buller, a double board-certified emergency and family medicine specialist who has delivered hundreds of babies. Together, Lalaina and Dr. Buller discuss how to decide whether you should go to the hospital. For example, if a baby turns purple, is that an emergency? What if their breathing is labored, or if they’re making strange sounds? Dr. Buller believes that one key way to make a decision is to look for patterns. If your baby turns purple every time they feed, it's probably time to go to the ER. But if it's a one-off, it might not signal an emergency. The conversation also delves into the opposite scenario - the common situations that appear like emergencies, but are actually just part of life with an infant. Funny noises fall into this category, along with many other things that parents may mistake for emergency symptoms However, Dr. Buller’s main piece of advice is to trust your intuition. No one knows a baby better than their primary caregiver, and if you are worried, then it's worth going to the ER. If your doctor judges you, it's because they’ve forgotten that you don’t have all the information that they do.
