While I don't necessarily fault them for having all of these minor health issues crop up because things like that happen with infants, I think their refusal to treat things the way a pediatrician would contributes to these drawn out issues.ewokfan11 wrote:I was wondering about that too! She's barely three months and already had the three infections and her tongue-tie issues/surgery (of course, they can't control that). Poor kid! I do think part of it is their fault for wanting to be too "organic" and ignoring possible issues until it's too late. Also, why the EFF are they going camping out in the COLD all the time? They are sleeping outside at this festival and it's 50 degrees and rainy!! Who takes an infant with an eye infection to a place like that???Nothankyou wrote:What is up with all of these infections. Thrush, the neck roll yeast infection and now the eyes. I know all can be common in young babies and one isolated would not be concerning, but all three in just three months if life seems excessive. Makes me wonder if there's a lacking of cleanliness somewhere hat making these infections linger.
Remember when Kelsey was crying about the Group B Strep test and being concerned about getting antibiotics during labor. Now this poor baby has already had three different infections and likely some antibiotics.
A lot of the stuff they do really makes me think they didn't plan on this kid at all (or had her for views). From their tiny apartment, going carless for a LOOOONG time, all these trips/travel plans, drinking A LOT and dining at kid-unfriendly establishments - they don't want to be parents! They want to be 20-somethings who are hip and cool...but now they have a baby.
Wow, their views have REALLY dropped! Good thing they are going to DBs soon!
They didn't want to accept that their baby had a tongue tie so they avoided making an appointment with a specialist and continued to try to nurse even though her latch was incredibly painful. Then once they do get her tongue fixed, Kelsey can't be bothered to stay on top of the exercises and breast feeding starts to become uncomfortable again.
First she had a yeast infection in her mouth, and then her neck. I wouldn't be surprised if treating the first yeast infection with nothing but apple cider vinegar contributed to it spreading to her neck. If she has an overgrowth of yeast in her mouth, and she's drooling all over herself, it doesn't take a doctor to put two and two together. But these two didn't even realize that you don't treat a fungal infection with an antibiotic in the first place.
I think they *thought* they were ready to be parents, but they had no idea. If they did understand the gravity of what it means to be a parent, I doubt they would have gotten pregnant while living out of a van. And I doubt that they would be relying on YouTube as their sole source of income when they're channel is stagnating and they aren't even surpassing 50K views a day.
