Please read Dr. Mommy's question:
Dear Dr. Mama,
We picked up our adorable Angels baby about a week ago, well 8 days to be exact. He's 11 months old, and just the cutest, sweetest thing you ever saw. Unfortunately, he's suffered some injuries and broken bones because of an abusive home, which is how he came to us.
I don't understand how anyone could deliberately hurt a child, and my heart aches for this little one. The social workers say his injuries are healed, but my question is, how do we care for him? Do we need to treat him differently? Hold him differently? Should we be feeding him a special diet to make him stronger? He's beginning to stand and cruise along holding on to things - should I let him try to walk? I'm not sure what's safe and I find myself being extra cautious. My husband says I'm too nervous and we should treat him like we would any baby. Who's right?
