EP. 19 - All About Diapers: Baby Poops, Blood & More!

This is the Season 1 finale of Surviving Tiny Humans — and we're going out with one of the most googled topics in parenting: fevers. Because at 2am with a sick baby, you don't want to read a medical textbook. You want someone to tell you clearly — does this need the ER or not? In this episode I'm walking you through everything you actually need to know: what counts as a real fever, what to do about it, when to go in, and when you can manage safely at home. Including a few things that might surprise you. In this episode: What actually counts as a fever vs. a low-grade temperature — and why the distinction matters more than the number Why the height of the fever is less important than how your child looks Acetaminophen vs. ibuprofen — how they're different, how to use them together, and why ibuprofen before bed might be the move The fever rules by age — including why any fever in a baby under 30 days is an automatic ER visit no matter how well they look When to go to the ER vs. when an urgent appointment is enough The five-day fever rule and Kawasaki's disease — what it is and why every medical student on the planet knows about it Ear infections, delayed fevers, and how to recognize when a cold has turned into something else My favourite gut-check for telling a virus from a bacterial infection — and why the grosser it is, the more likely it's viral 🔗 Free fever flowchart linked below — print it, save it to your phone, and have it ready for the next 2am moment. https://www.vitalswithdrbuller.com/infant-er-flowchart

Sleep deprivation doesn't just make you tired — it functionally gives you ADHD. The same executive function deficits, the same working memory gaps, the same inability to start a task you know you need to do. If you've ever walked into a room and immediately forgotten why, congratulations: you're a new parent.

Turns out, having a newborn gives you ADHD. Not metaphorically. For real.

Infertility affects one in five couples — and yet almost nobody talks about what the process actually looks like, what the testing involves, or what it does to you emotionally while you're in it.
