What if one day, Alan came home early, insisted that Chosen would stay to dinner, and they have big family dinner together? And everything so surreal for Chosen, so when they come back home, Dark can't stop asking Cho why they look so stunned.

god yeah-- i don't think he'd insist on chosen staying personally but there's no way SC doesn't beg them to stay--

"...not only did a second movie take much longer than expected to be greenlit, the franchise could suffer because of how long the follow-up will take to arrive." "The sequel won't be released until three years after the first film in the series first hit cinemas. This is a rather lengthy wait for a new movie franchise that's trying to establish itself beyond a single installment." "a sequel could realistically be made in a much shorter time frame than three years."

"Fans of the first movie could lose interest if they're forced to wait"

HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT THE ENTIRE FUCK UP

Understanding Low Blood Sugar in Babies: Common Reasons to Know

Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, in babies can be concerning for parents. It’s vital to understand what causes it and how to recognize its signs. Here’s a breakdown of common reasons for low blood sugar in infants.

Feeding Issues: The Building Blocks of Baby’s Health

One of the most frequent reasons for low blood sugar in babies comes from feeding difficulties. Newborns have small stomachs, and they need frequent feedings. If a baby doesn’t eat enough or misses a feeding, their blood sugar can drop. It’s like trying to run a car on an empty tank; it just won’t work.

Breastfeeding challenges can also play a role. Some mothers may struggle with milk supply, making it hard for their infants to get the nutrition they need. In formula-fed babies, not getting the right amount can lead to low energy levels. Parents should keep an eye on their baby’s feeding schedule to ensure they’re getting enough nourishment.

Illness: The Unseen Enemy

Infections or illnesses can steal a baby’s energy, leading to lower blood sugar. When a baby is sick, their body is busy fighting off the infection. This process uses up energy and can cause blood sugar levels to drop. It’s like a car going uphill; it uses more fuel and may run out before it reaches the top.

Some common illnesses, such as gastroenteritis, can prevent proper absorption of nutrients. Babies losing fluids can also lead to dehydration, which further complicates their ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Parents need to stay alert for any signs of illness, like fussiness or lack of appetite.

Metabolic Disorders: Rare but Real

Though less common, certain metabolic disorders can cause low blood sugar in infants. Conditions like galactosemia or congenital adrenal hyperplasia disrupt how the body processes sugar. These disorders can be tricky to diagnose, so if parents notice unusual signs—like persistent lethargy or seizures—seeking immediate medical attention is crucial. It’s similar to a faulty engine light; it indicates something needs fixing fast.

Hormonal Issues: The Body’s Regulation System

The body relies on hormones to keep blood sugar levels stable. In some cases, hormonal imbalances can lead to hypoglycemia in babies. For instance, an underactive adrenal gland can affect how the body responds to stress and manages blood glucose.

Parents might not be able to see these changes, but they might notice their baby acting differently, like being more irritable or having difficulty waking up. If anything seems off, it’s always best to consult a pediatrician.

Overactivity: The Little Explorers

Believe it or not, active little ones can sometimes create dips in blood sugar, especially in toddlers. While it’s important for babies to be active and engage with their surroundings, excessive activity without adequate energy input can drain their blood sugar quickly.

For instance, if a toddler runs around for hours but hasn’t eaten enough, their body might struggle to keep up with their energy demands. It’s essential to provide ample snacks throughout the day to avoid any sudden drops.

Conclusion: Keeping a Watchful Eye

Understanding the common reasons for low blood sugar in babies can help parents take preventative steps. Feeding issues, illness, metabolic disorders, hormonal problems, and overactivity all play a role in a baby's blood sugar levels. Keeping a watchful eye on feeding routines and overall health can make a big difference. Parents are their baby's first line of defense, so knowing when to seek help is essential for a happy and healthy little one.

*clenches teeth and fists* it's fine no one comments on how Dorian is more "lithe" than before. It's fine that he's not "nearly as bulky". It's fine that he doesn't sleep well then has to wake up just to be the sunny optimist the next day. It's fine that his strings are wound so tight that he's ready to snap.

It's fine that Dorian's health is being ignored. He's the new guy, right? Fresh faced? Not burdened by the trauma of the last few months, right?

Watch my new baby boy rats, deny a tiny homemade blueberry pancakes I made especially for them..

I’m going to blame this on the fact that I did not reheat the pancake before giving it to them.. yeah

[spindle-and-nima]

Have you ever seen those comparisons of two plushies, one kept brand new and safe and one well loved for a whole childhood? Spindle kinda looks like the well loved ones sometimes

Honestly he's really just built like that but I argue he was way more skrunkly as a kid. like here's a baby pic of him at 4 months old when I had just gotten him.

He definitely is well loved! Hes just stuck looking like a toddler decided to get some kid scissors and give him the barber special
