best baby monitor new zealand image
�
I live in the USA ... you can name a baby anything you want here. Where in the world monitors what you name the baby???
I'm thinking we need this system!
Answer
I know!!
There was something going on in France a few months ago, a couple wanted to name their baby Metallica. They weren't allowed.
I about died laughing when i heard that, there's a girl my age that is named Metallica that i know of. I'm not lying at all.
It's so dumb when people want to name their baby something "different" and "Unique" by naming them something strange, or spelling it reallllllly weird. The name doesn't make the baby unique, the BABY and how the parents RAISE the baby makes it unique.
I have a sort of different name, Johnna (pronounced just like it's spelled, "John" with a "na"). I was named after my dad, John. He was the 4th one with his name in my family, and if i was a boy i was going to be the 5th. So they wanted to kind of keep it going, but not be stupid and name me like "Johnette" Or something. haha.
i can see someone naming their kid that though.

What support do you get after having a baby?

Hi, I have noticed that most of the people who are on this site are based in the States and was wondering what sort of support is offered to new mums over there... I have no intention of living over there but am just curious. I live in New Zealand and the support provided to new mums is amazing....
Everytime you have a baby, doesn't matter if it's your 1st or 10th you have the support and guidence of your midwife for the first 6 weeks. She will visit you in your home a few times a week then once a week until baby is 6 weeks. After that your bubs is refered to a Free service called Plunket. A registered Nurse sees you when your baby is 6 weeks, 3 months, 5 months, 9 months, 15 months, 2 years, 3 years & 5 years. they monitor your childs development and health and also provide any guidence or information needed. Between each plunket visit a Karitane Nurse will also see you and they also check development of motor skills and proved any info required on sleeping patterns feeding etc....
Along with the service is a Free calling number to Plunket Line that is availible 24 hours a day to answer question and provide you with info ideas and support whenever you need it.... (i called once when my daughter wouldn't sleep and they gave me some great suggestions to help settle her)
We also have a free calling health line Well Child who agian is availible 24 hours a day free of charge where a registered nurse is always available to asses any health concerns you have with your bubs and offer advice as to if medical attention need to be sought.
All our doctors visits for children under 6 are free through government funding and most prescriptions are funded to... some you have to pay a small portion for but most are free...
There is also PAFT parents as first teachers, which provided free training to anyone to help with things you can do to help your child learn and develop
Its pretty awsome support here in NZ!!!!
So whats it like where you live?
Our hospitals provied lactation consultants that can be contacted for advice and help at anystage whilst you are breastfeeding and any specialist you need to see are also free... my daughter has to see and orthopedic surgeon as she has congenital torticollis and our governement will cover all the costs involved... They also give you financial assistance for the first 8 weeks no matter what your income then if you earn below $64K a year as a family they will give you weekly payments to help with the cost of a new family... The more kids you have the more financial support you get....
I think that it should be compulsory worldwide to provide the sort of support we in NZ get for new mothers and young children/ families....
Thank you so much for all answering... it is amazing how differnt things are over there compared to here.... We don't pay anything to have our babies... Your midwife who you see through out your prengancy and for 6 weeks after birth is funded.... and additional specialist required at birth are free (i needed an obstatrician and 2 peadiatricians plus my midwife and 2 extras... horrid birth!!!) if a c-section is required its free, if the babys needs to go to neonatal intensive care its covered... How unfair that you are expected to pay for things like this especially when none of it can be prepared for as you have no idea what will be needed at the time...
i wish you all the best of luck!!!!!!
Answer
I'm a new mom and I have a 24 hour hot line with a registered nurse that I can use. Its free through my insurance. There are also free lactation consultants through the hospital I gave birth at. You call them and they call you that day or the next between 2-4 p.m. If you schedule an apt. with them, you do have to pay whatever the insurance doesn't pay.
We paid 11,000 so far for our baby, because he was in the intensive care unit for the first two weeks. So, nothing else I describe is free! Its expected in my area (Omaha, Nebraska) that you go in to see the pediatrician every week for the first month and then every two weeks for the next. After that, it varies. Since our baby was in intensive care, we had 6 approved home health care visits that we could use for the first two weeks he was home. If my baby hadn't gone to intensive care, we were going to pay 2,500 to give birth in a hospital.
We make around 50,000 in our household a year and my husband works for a well respected company (Union Pacific Railroad). If we were lucky enough to make closer to 25,000 a year, we would have all our health care paid for through the government. The government would also have paid for formula, if needed, and the rental of a breast pump. Last year, we were students and could have had everything paid for and we would have lived more comfortably than we do now with our current income. That's why everyone complains about a health care crisis in the United States!!! We will be paying off our babies bills for a very long time.
