An Inspiring Story: Fierce Mamas – Saving My Baby

We recently came across the Fierce Mamas Blog and the post “Saving My Baby“. Sarah’s story is truly inspiratonal in its message: trust your instincts! You see, Sarah began wearing her baby constantly from about 2-3 weeks after little Mila’s birth. Wearing her in her sling was the only way to soothe her. She comforted her when she cried, holding her close. Some people suggested she was spoiling her. Some doctors even suggested letting her ‘cry it out’.

I carried her everywhere. In the shower. To the doctor, to the park, on playdates. People nastily asked me how she would learn to walk if I never put her down. I ignored them. Carrying her stopped the screaming.

Just before her first birthday, Mila was admitted to hospital with a high fever.

She was in heart failure. A rare and very serious heart defect had been causing massive heart attacks. Fatality rates were 90% in the first year. The screaming was her suffering from crushing chest pain. In the hallway, the cardiologist turned to me and quietly told me that it was my parenting – the constant carrying – that had allowed her to survive against all odds.

You can read the whole story and update here. Have your tissues ready and let us know what you think.
