Hi all, we have been using cloth wipes for our newborn baby and have been storing them in a glass dish and soaking them in water daily. I’m realizing now that I’m not sure if this is ok given that it could allow bacteria to grow.

I’ve seen posts here saying that people individually wet the wipes each time of use but I’m not sure that’s realistic for our family.

If we are replacing the wipes daily and only soaking a days worth at a time, is this safe?

Hi all! I have been EBF for the last 5 weeks. I initially had an oversupply and very strong let down which has since regulated since seeing a lactation consultant. Now that my supply is regulated and flow is slower, it has exposed some underlying issues with my babies oral development and ability to pull milk efficiently near the end of feeds when the milk flow is slow. It potentially is due to a mild tongue tie and she has referred us to an infant physiotherapist for suck skills training and informed us about options regarding tongue tie release if the physio doesn’t help.

Baby is gaining weight and compensates for the inefficiency by feeding very frequently (14+ times per day).

My lactation consultant said that until we can address the underlying cause, I have the option to re-increase my supply to a slight oversupply to help baby get more per feed so he is feeding less frequently.

I want to do this and I’m wondering what the best way is to increase my supply slightly without being attached to a pump. My lactation consultant reccomended pumping for 10-15min after a few feeds a day so I intend to do this once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Has anyone done something similair or have recommendations on how to modestly increase supply?
