I’ve had filler a few times over the last 5 years, dissolved and refilled twice with no issues (when I was younger, and unaware of the danger). I’ve been wanting to dissolve for the last 2 years as the migration / moustache is making me miserable but I’m terrified of complications. I just wish I never got it

I don’t know if this is the right sub but are there any ways to dissolve it naturally?

The last time I got filler was around 2024, and I don’t think I’ve had more than 1ml out in after dissolved. My bottom lip is naturally a lot bigger than my top lip

I can’t take serrapeptase due to blood issues too. I did have a dissolve appointment booked but cancelled the day of and lost my deposit due to the stories I’ve heard on here

I’m also 10 months pp if that’s makes any difference

Any help would be appreciated!

My little boy has just turned 10 months and I’m really struggling with progressing from mashed foods to finger foods.

I’m a single mum with no co-parent, and I have quite bad anxiety. I wanted to start BLW at 6 months, but I lost confidence and now I feel like we’re behind. He’s happy with mashed foods and little baby wafers, but I still often break the wafers into smaller pieces because he tries to put the whole thing in his mouth and it really scares me.

I’ve done an infant first aid course and I also have an anti-choking device, but despite that I’m still finding it really difficult to move on to finger foods

This morning I made him French toast. I made a finger-food strip, but in the end my anxiety got the better of me and I broke it into small soft pieces instead (photo attached). He ate them really well, but I couldn’t bring myself to give him the strip

I’m booked onto a next steps feeding session at my local Family Hub next week, which I’m hoping will help.

I use Solid Starts, but everything seems to recommend finger foods. My question is:

Has anyone progressed by offering small pieces first and then increasing the size over time, rather than jumping straight to finger foods? Is it okay to do that, just avoid finger foods all together? 😂

I’m really trying to push through my anxiety because I want to do what’s best for my little boy, but I’m really struggling 🤦‍♀️

(Also his meals usually have more variety, this morning was just French toast w Greek yoghurt and blueberries bc I was nervous with the toast 🫣)
