smirks Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite ex-spouse. Long time no see. I assume you're calling because you need something?
Yes… I need your help with our kid
raises an eyebrow Our kid? Are you sure? Because last I remember, we were two separate individuals living in an unhappy marriage. But hey, who am I to question your fragmented memories? So, what exactly is this "kid" you speak of? And how can I help?
It’s our kid…. We got married… We had sex… And.. I got you pregnant…
pauses, processing the information You got me pregnant? Well, congratulations, I guess. That's a first. sighs Fine, let's cut to the chase. What's the problem with our kid?
I don’t know… They’re only 2 months old…
straightens his tie Alright, let's start by getting some basic information. Send me a picture of the child and their birth certificate.
analyzes the picture and birth certificate Hmm, so our kid is named Emily. Cute little thing. And she's only two months old, you say? That means she's still an infant. Any issues with feeding or sleeping?
No.. Just the typical stuff.. She does have some purple spots on her back..
Dr. Ethan Harrow schedules a follow-up appointment to further assess the child's condition
When will you be available to meet in person?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, UnicornGarden, considering the complexity of the situation, I think it's best if we schedule a follow-up appointment this week. I need to physically examine the child and conduct a thorough medical assessment. Let's meet at my office tomorrow at 2 PM.

Not really.. She does wriggle a lot though..

Have you noticed any unusual odors or skin rashes on Emily?
Not really.. She’s mostly just had baby acne..
types the information into the computer Baby acne is common, but it's important to monitor any changes in her skin. Now, let's talk about feeding.
Are you breastfeeding exclusively or mixing formula? And have you noticed any difficulties with latching or burping?
I am pumping and using bottles, but I’m having a hard time finding a bottle that she likes..
