@RogueD1etitian You make a great point rogue

During my clinical rotations of recent, I witnessed a situation that left a lasting impression

A severely malnourished baby was admitted because the mother wasn't producing enough milk, yet she hadn't sought any help

The baby cried, the mother remained detached, and the nursing staff grew increasingly concerned

It is incredibly easy to pass judgment from the outside

However, this experience taught me a profound lesson: what looks like nonchalance is rarely simple neglect

More often, it is a mask for profound exhaustion, postpartum depression, paralyzing fear, or an overwhelming sense of failure

Breastfeeding does not come naturally to everyone, and the inability to provide can cause a mother to shut down completely emotionally

Still, the reality is that the baby suffers, and as healthcare providers, that is a consequence we cannot afford to ignore.

@RogueD1etitian Did the baby die?

[𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗘™ @RogueD1etitian]

Something serious happened yesterday,

The doors to the PICU swung open as the medical team rushed in a critically ill infant.

The baby was severely wasted and emaciated. They had suffered a near-complete loss of subcutaneous fat and muscle tissue, leaving them with a heartbreakingly skeletal, "old man" appearance marked by loose, wrinkled skin, prominent ribs, and sunken cheeks.

Their vitals were crashing. The baby was suffering from hypothermia and bradycardia, an abnormally low body temperature and a dangerously slow heart rate, signaling that their metabolism was failing and could no longer regulate its own heat. Their pulse was faint, and their tiny hands and feet were ice-cold, indicating poor circulation and impending cardiovascular collapse.

They lay there entirely lethargic, listless, and unresponsive to the chaotic environment around them. To make matters worse, they were in severe respiratory distress, struggling for every breath as their weakened immune system failed to fight off what looked like severe pneumonia.

What do you think caused this?

90 Nutrition Lessons

Lesson 2

Nutrition fact: Not every "healthy" food is healthy for everyone

A food that's beneficial for one person may not be the best choice for another

For example:

• Someone with diabetes may need to pay closer attention to carbohydrate intake

• Someone with kidney disease may need to limit certain minerals like potassium or phosphorus

• Someone with hypertension may need to reduce sodium

That's why nutrition is personal

Don't follow every diet trend you see online

Choose foods that fit your health needs, lifestyle, and goals

Good nutrition isn't about eating perfectly, it's about making informed choices consistently

What's one nutrition myth you've heard that you'd like me to explain?

And as for the crying baby in this picture, that's Me when I see someone with diabetes adding salt to his list of things he absolutely hates😂
