9,901 | daddit | What a beautiful girl. Such a doll face too. I could just squeeze her all day. You sound like ‘it’s just part of the parental journey.’ Amazing. Congrats and I know she is lucky to have you as parents. |
9,902 | daddit | Some kids just need to work harder than others. No comparison but I have a 7 year old with pretty strong ADHD and we refuse to medicate him for it. We tell him daily that he has to work harder than most kids at school. I wish the school model here in the US wasn’t so one size fits all. He’s a boy who can’t sit in a classroom setting for 8hrs a day but he gets no slack or help. He isn’t the issue. There is nothing wrong with him. Just like your sweet girl. She will need to put more work into certain things than most people all her life but there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. |
9,903 | daddit | She’s precious, bro! |
9,904 | daddit | Why you gotta make me do math... 4 months bro |

9,918 | daddit | She is beautiful. Nice work, mom & dad! |
9,919 | daddit | So amazing man. She looks like a happy, healthy, and loved little squish. You can't ask for much more. |
9,920 | daddit | Hey! My kid has one of those on his leg. Welcome to the club |
9,921 | daddit | you're a strong man and she's going to be a hell of a strong girl. I can't come up with very eloquent words because man this got me choked up. |
9,922 | daddit | Username checks out. |
9,923 | daddit | And we went to the animal fair. The monkey and toucan were there. |
9,924 | daddit | Oh god she’s gorgeous |
9,925 | daddit | She’s beautiful, you must be very proud! |
9,926 | daddit | She’s beautiful |
9,927 | daddit | Beautiful |
9,928 | daddit | I didn’t even know there were prosthetics for babies |
9,929 | daddit | Congrats on getting that support and looks like you guys are killing it! Such a stinking cutie! |
9,930 | daddit | r/mademesmile |
9,931 | daddit | This might get buried but I just wanna say she is gonna do great! I grew up missing my left hand and I think it was harder for my parents than it was for me. She may or may not want to use a prosthetic in the future, let her make that choice. I had one forced on me and it hurt my self confidence. I can do everything without one! |
9,932 | daddit | With the way fashion is going these days, she will be able to have so many different styles! |
9,933 | daddit | r/mademesmile |
9,934 | daddit | So awesome that a company out there is doing this work. Love the prosthetic. At first I thought it was styled after a Lego arm but upon closer inspection it looks like a bee. Win-win!!! |
9,935 | daddit | She is beautiful! And what a badass prosthetic! |
9,936 | daddit | She’s so precious! |
9,937 | daddit | That's an awesome looking arm, I love it!! I'm really happy there are organisations around who do this type of thing |
9,938 | daddit | Oh my god I would die for her |
9,939 | daddit | She’s perfect! Congratulations! |
9,940 | daddit | What a little angel!! So adorable!! |
9,941 | daddit | That's the cutest prosthetic ever (': |
9,942 | daddit | She looks really happy with it :) do you mind sharing the name of the charity? Sounds like a really good cause. |
9,943 | daddit | Interesting. American here. I would have thought that prosthetics and orthotics would have been covered by the NHS. |
9,944 | daddit | She is a strong amazon! She has the best parents in the world. Sending love. |
9,945 | daddit | She’s beautiful man! Congrats! |
9,946 | daddit | Awesome ! She looks super happy ! Check out Reach charity too if you haven’t already, we have found it occasionally useful with our little man who was born without a hand . |
9,947 | daddit | This is so amazing. She’s going to be such a strong willed and beautiful child! |
9,948 | daddit | Had a good friend in college with the same deformity. It didn't hold her back at all. And the 5'2 110 pounder would 'stump' you when she got pissed. Damn that hurt! :) |
9,949 | daddit | Yes, kudos to the company that made that. It's so cute. I'm also kinda biased because I love bees. |
9,950 | daddit | But do they make them in Hulk? |
9,951 | daddit | Goddamit. I am buzzing to be part of this club |
9,952 | daddit | You’re much more wholesome than I because the pun I thought of is that we’re calling it a club |
9,953 | daddit | I have a 3d printer an already planning on printing attachments for this! |
9,954 | daddit | Wow that sounds extremely similar. No cause found here, not amniotic band or genetic. She has a little nubbin! Would definitely be interested in swapping details if you fancied a chat or whatever! Yeah will see how we get on with the attachments but seems promising so far, but our plan is only when we think it'll be needed. |
9,955 | daddit | Omg he is adorable |
9,956 | daddit | My son has a limb difference in the arms, those anatomy ultrasounds can be a bitch. Now that he's here and gives me that goofy smile every single day I'm more at ease but shit was it scary not knowing the cause or the extent that the rest of his health may be affected. |
9,957 | daddit | Get a 3d printer and crank out custom limbs to be as comfortable as possible for your son |
9,958 | daddit | Aww Lucky Fin - I love that! |
9,959 | daddit | The other side has bee in it… |
9,960 | daddit | Please no, that song is killing me! When I think it's done, she kicks it, pray for me. |
9,961 | daddit | No I didn't, thanks for the link :) |
9,962 | daddit | Absolutely. Our test was always if she was 2 years old and found out would we with she wasn't born (in the nicest way). And obviously we wouldn't but if the tests came back with some kind of mental retardation we might not have proceeded. |
9,963 | daddit | Seriously good for you for not medicating him. You’re a good dad and you’re doing the right thing. Those drugs have terrifying effects on the brains of adults and for kids, it’s much worse. It really is tough but in the end, everyone has challenges in life, and hopefully your son and OP’s daughter will be better for them in the end. Have you looked into any alternative schooling options for your son? Like charter school or homeschool? It’s not an option for everyone obviously but it’s something to think about. |
9,964 | daddit | No problems. They're made by a company called [Koalaa](https://www.yourkoalaa.com/). The charity arm of them is called [Project Limitless.](https://douglasbaderfoundation.enthuse.com/cf/limittless-project) When they're older they provide a more comprehensive prosthetic with attachments too. |
9,965 | daddit | They are but it depends on the consultant. They don't deem then required at this age so won't provide them, they do later in life though but you need to prove willing to get the higher end equipment and this helps The other thing is time scale, the nhs is slow for referrals that aren't emergencies |
9,966 | daddit | There's conflicting opinions by doctors about when infants with upper limb differences can benefit from a prosthetic. There's general consensus that by the time they're sitting up they'll benefit, but until then it's hard to find doctors that will recommend them or insurance that will cover them. |
9,967 | daddit | Yup we are a member of reach too |
9,968 | daddit | They have quite a few patterns for the baby prosthesis. [https://i.imgur.com/q7VVYOF.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/q7VVYOF.jpg) |
9,969 | daddit | Or Hell-boy? |
9,970 | daddit | That has to sting. |
9,971 | daddit | Don’t try to BEE cool. |
9,972 | daddit | I'm just picturing her with a large crab arm for Halloween one year. |
9,973 | daddit | This is such a cool thing to do for your daughter. I imagine she'll enjoy looking back at all of the prosthetics you've made together over the years as she grows into new ones. You guys are lucky to have each other! |
9,974 | daddit | Don't know if you're aware, but this organization designs and supplies open source 3D Printed prosthetics to those who need it. You can probably grab those files yourself and go to town! https://enablingthefuture.org/ |
9,975 | daddit | Now do the megaman buster! |
9,976 | daddit | u/eatpraynub A+ user name, plus good ideas |
9,977 | daddit | I will still be singing that song in 20 years |
9,978 | daddit | Haha! We’ve had that play mat since she was around 8 weeks - she still hits it now at 1 year almost. I know the order and lyrics to all the songs… the animals play all day. |
9,979 | daddit | Thank you for your reassuring words. His mother and I both work full time so public school is really the only option |
9,980 | daddit | Cool, looks really good! Just chucked them a few bob. Will try to remember them next time company ask for charity suggestions too (money always goes further with these small charities I think) |
9,981 | daddit | [The charity *arm* of them..](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/030/359/cover4.jpg) |
9,982 | daddit | Donated! Thank you for sharing their info. The earlier you can get intervention, the better. I'm so glad you didn't wait and were able to get her what she needed! I bet she's very proud of herself. |
9,983 | daddit | Wow. Thanks for sharing. My boy is 7 months old. He was born without a left hand. I’m not in the UK but I’m hoping we can find something similar. You will find that she will do amazing things and surprise you all the time. Edit: I actually think some of these products might be perfect for my son as he gets a little bigger and needs more function. Thank you again for sharing. |
9,984 | daddit | The charity is called "project limbless"? That's sort of on the nose and a strange thing to name a charity... Oh wait "limitless" that makes more sense. |
9,985 | daddit | Thanks for sharing the link! Sent a donation. All the best, dad! |
9,986 | daddit | [Here](https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/800435) is the UK government page on the charity (Douglas Bader Foundation) for anyone wanting more info on their effectiveness and where their money goes. |

9,988 | daddit | Also it depends on the quality of the prosthetic most of the time they only will provide the bare minimum when it comes to prosthetics a word of advice op get and learn to use a 3D printer it can really help make her prosthetics more comfortable and functional as well |
9,989 | daddit | Eh, it isn't much faster near Boston, MA, USA. I don't go to the Dr often, but when I do call to be seen for an ailment, they always tell me that they're booked and to go to Urgent Care. I haven't seen to my primary care physician for anyrhing but physicals in years. |
9,990 | daddit | Yup, we were firmly in the camp of waiting initially but seeing her support herself one side and not the other when sitting/falling/laying was enough for us to want to try it. |
9,991 | daddit | Those are awesome. I can see that shark one being really popular. *dontthinkofthesongdontthinkofthesongdontthinkofthesong* |
9,992 | daddit | Now we're talkin'! |
9,993 | daddit | Haha my 2yo has finally got bored of hers (she's all about singing stuff these days), I swear I used to hear those songs in my dreams |
9,994 | daddit | Ah, yep, that’s how it is for many people! It’s good that he has understanding parents though. Do you have an IEP for him at school? That can help with accommodations, less homework, etc. |
9,995 | daddit | Brilliant thanks! |
9,996 | daddit | >(money always goes further with these small charities I think) It's way more likely that they have passionate people, but they also don't have much economies of scale. The director is likely swamped doing HR, CEO, Finance, Operations for pay that is not attractive enough to retain talent, especially in big cities. So double-edged sword. And the smallish ones might be competing vs other smallish with similar mission, and be on a lifeline from whichever mayor is in position. Source: I've worked in non-profits, and the small ones either don't pay and are volunteer only or up to 70% of donations are eaten by overhead. Largest non-profits have a sizable endowments that pay dividends each year to cover costs of personnel and IT and rent so up to 95% of the donations goes to the mission. |
9,997 | daddit | Limbitless. |
9,998 | daddit | Did… did you just try to be funny and crack a joke? I don’t take most things seriously but your comment is the complete opposite of funny dude. The “playing clueless or dumb to feed into a humorous joke” can be funny sometimes but in your case, it’s far by the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Middle school humor at the absolute best bud. |
9,999 | daddit | Seems good to me? |
10,000 | daddit | Not an orthopedic but IMHO children learn to function with whatever they have? In this case baby would counteract her missing limb with her torso positioning and left arm. This is why you tape shut the eyes of children with visual impairment. If you put the regular one out of function, the body will try to compensate and force the wonky one into alignment. I have tons of pictures of myself looking like a pirate to try and correct my short-sightedness. |
