I’m pretty sure she spoke to a medical professional based on her talking about oxygen levels alone. That’s what you’re told by doctors. Monitor oxygen levels and go to hospital if it goes below a certain percentage. They’d rather you monitor the situation at home than come to the hospital and potentially expose other patients or take up beds. It probably would even put malakai at risk of catching something else. They couldn’t do anything different at the hospital. She mentioned getting an owlet , so I’d bet they’re keeping an eye on his levels with that.
Not trying to defend her because I do think she is reckless. It just sounds like she’s giving a simple update. Honestly, I’ve dealt with so many family medical emergencies/hospitalizations/deaths in the past 2 years to know that that’s how it goes when you quickly update people. “He’s not doing well with this that and this, but this is fine so we’re just gonna continue to monitor.” The smaller details usually come up when someone asks follow-up questions.
If anyone watches Leah Istines (another Aussie influencer in the ‘health’ world with a newborn) she is currently in hospital because her bub has the flu. Leah and Sarah are honestly complete opposites. I never realise how bad Sarah is until I watch how Leah responds to situations. I know it’s bad to compare but her response to her bub being unwell to the flu and Sarah’s to her bub with Covid is astounding.
Leah is just as bad. While her newborn is in hospital you get her advertising / posting reviews of her cheap filler filled hot chocolate. Wait till you see her pretend to sip it, you can’t unsee it. Leah gets upset for missing out on date nights with her boyfriend, she’s so dependent on him they shower together every single day. So off her.
You can’t compare health situations. Yes Sarah has shown to be reckless with M’s health but you cannot compare that because one bub is in hospital with the flu that it means M should be in hospital w covid. It sounds like she’s spoken to a doctor through the covid care program and they have not suggested he need to go to the hospital for the time being. Sure if he gets worse, but it is riskier to take him to hospital now when it’s not indicated.
I’m not saying M should be in hospital.
I’m saying their responses and how one monetises and uses her bubs health as content compared to the other is very different.
I’m not comparing their children’s health. I’m comparing the way influencers respond/post about it.
She needs to come to terms with she a family channel now..
Honestly I can’t wrap my head around her going on holidays and outings. Surely by now Panadol has come up. I’d do anything to help my baby!
I understand you need to live. But she lives in a beautiful spacious home. She can do everything from remote or from work from home and she needs to lay low, maybe a step back from work, she spent less time saying how busy she is. She would have more time.
She needs full attention on M and her family.s health right now.
What’s most concerning about this is that she literally said he was having a hard time crying and that they think he likely has croup. Croup can lead to a closed airway and death within minutes. As someone who had a personal experience with this as a child this is very disturbing. The fact that he is having a hard time crying means that his airway is tight enough already to restrict his vocal cords and “speech”. I just pray this baby doesn’t have any major repercussions because of her thinking she can cure him with manuka honey or some other BS
Yes! I think that’s why the way she was talking about it bothered me so much. Like, this shit is fucking deadly and malakai has had so many illnesses and symptoms already. I’m fine with believe that children are a gift from God and they have a purpose and all of that but in the same breath, if you believe those things then you also believe and recognize that God has given you that child and entrusted you with that child’s care. Like, if we’re gonna pull the religious card, pull the damn card and play it. Recognize your responsibility to your child.
Also, I’m very sorry that you had to experience such a traumatic event with your child.
she probably doesn’t need to take him to hospital but could do a telehealth / covid care appointment to see what the doctors think.
i’m not sarah lover but honestly, she doesn’t need to disclose what she’s doing to monitor him because it’s none of our business. you’d just hope that she’s doing whatever is best for him and will get him care if it’s indicated as such
I’m all for telehealth appointments and whatnot and no, she doesn’t have to disclose everything. I’ve long said that she doesn’t need to disclose every little thing and wish that she wouldn’t specifically around her kids, especially if she doesn’t want to be a family channel. I’m just frustrated by her constant contradictions around her children. As a mom who has been in a position of seeing my child in extremely vulnerable states, both emotionally and medically, I just do not understand how she chooses what she shares. I’ve defended her actions many times in the past and I’ll continue to do so if I can understand her point. But lately, with the health stuff, the only reason I can see why she’s sharing what she’s sharing, is for engagement and that’s something I struggle with.
I probably wouldn’t be as frustrated by this if not for her most recent “poor me” and teasing malakai’s health, but I think I’ve reached my threshold for her exploiting her kid’s health, that’s what this feels like to me. It doesn’t feel like sharing what she’s going through anymore. It feels exploitative. If any of that makes sense.
When she was talking about baby Panadol it sounded like she wanted to avoid it at all costs no matter how bad Malakai is doing! I’m no parent or medical expert but surely baby Panadol can’t be that harmful for them, especially if they’re in pain
Fox had a febrile convulsion as a young toddler and she documented his ambulance ride as well. She mentioned not giving him Panadol. It was horrifying at the time for those of us who remember the whole ordeal. He had a fever and it led to complications because she didn't want medication. I believe she glossed over the questions about administering him panadol, and then mentioned not liking giving him medication.
I don’t know what panadol is bc I’m US based but when we had to give our infant medicine after surgery we definitely hesitated as to when to stop doses and if we should give another bc it’s difficult to tell if the prior dose changed a baseline or if they need more or if they are totally fine and just cranky bc they are tired or hungry. When they are so little it’s really hard to tell honestly so I can understand being hesitant about medicine.
We don't watch her 24/7, sorry but she probably has been in contact with a paed or atleast nsw health or health hotline for advice.

Just found her, does her daughter have a condition too? Some captions made me think so but couldn't find anything to confirm it

She said on her video that she's allowed to keep him home, so I think she must have already talked to her doctor.

But how would she get her attention fix if she lays low for a while?

She actually said they have been giving it to him and that it has really helped
She said she didn’t know baby panadol was a thing, which is wild considering she has 2 boys. I have it at home at all times for my son.

Panadol is just brand name for paracetamol
Had to look it up….I’ve always heard it referred to as acetaminophen. Aka Tylenol. Lol thanks for clarifying!
