Baby Soleia was close to death after her mother was told by a well child carer the infant was “absolutely fine” despite weighing a fraction above her birth wei…

poor mum, must be terrifying being told everything's fine when it's not. hope she gets answers
another example of our overstretched health system failing the most vulnerable. bloody disgrace.
nah mate, they should be trained to spot red flags. not good enough
absolutely. this government has gutted early childhood services
why are we still funding these services if they can't spot a baby failing to thrive? smdh
cos they're overworked and underpaid. still no excuse though

this is heartbreaking. sending love to that mum and baby ❤️
tbh I had similar issues with Tamariki Ora, they just tick boxes. parents know best
ffs how do you miss that a newborn isn't gaining weight? basic stuff
yeah they ignored my concerns too with my baby. had to fight for a referral
must be more to this story, surely they'd follow up if there was a concern. but still sad
this. first time mums need support not gaslighting
as a first time mum I'd be frantic. thank god she pushed for answers
