You should be pushing whoever is his next of kin to be yelling!!! This is not the norm. Tell his next of kin to speak to his doc now. They hospital staff can page him. There is uncalled for. He should have received some kind of treatment by now.

I think about 6 weeks is the norm sm
My first and last both wear able to newborn size about 6 weeks. I probably would have upped their size sooner had I not had so many newborn diapers. They were both about 7 pounds at birth. My second child was 8 pounds 6 ounces and didn't wear newborns for more than a week.
I would definitely get the size 1 instead of the newborn. Of course, you could always call the new mom or maybe the grandmom and ask. But I agree that it's better to go up a size and have to wait a week or 2 to wear them than to get the wrong size and not be able to use them.
They are just quiet people in the norm.
I think they are not sure how to respond to our slang "small talk" kind of attitude. They are just quiet people.
No, I hope tht she is the norm and you are a the 'unusual'...sm
there are still a lot of people out there who can 'have a good time' without consuming alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, recreational drugs etc.....
More often than not it starts with 'just a little' and ends in a catastrophy!
What is the good about it, anyways.
No wonder that with such an attitude of grown ups, teenagers are 'lost.'
DO YOU TELL THE SAME YOU POSTED TO YOUR TEENAGERS, if you have ones???
Alcoholism doesn't always "look" like the norm
The best thing that he has done so far is admit that he is an alcoholic. Is he willing to get help for it? From what you have written so far he doesn't seem to be a "bad" drunk but alcoholism presents itself in many ways. What happens if he doesn't drink? Does he go through withdrawals of any sort? My father is an alcoholic and I believe my husand is on his way there. There are definitely personality changes between drinking and nondrinking. They have both, moreso my father, hidden their drinking. Saying it is soda but then when you smell it or ask for a sip it definitely isn't. My dad used to have a trunk full of alcohol, mostly vodka since you really can't smell it, although I definitely can. Do they really think we don't know what they are doing when they go to the cars numerous times a day? I guess ignorance is part of the disease. I don't know. I wish you all the luck and hopefully your husband will get the help he needs to abstain from the alcohol. You might be looking forward to some tough roads ahead but the point is to get your husband and family healthy. Let us know how it goes.
