Hi, I need some advice 😊 A few years ago I opened Pinterest just to save things I liked, then started posting my own photos (beauty products, food, places, girly aesthetic stuff). I have less than 10 followers but somehow get around 80–100k monthly views. I barely post now, maybe once every 2–3 months.
Is this actually good? Is there any way I can make some money from it? I have no idea how Pinterest works 😂

Hi everyone! Just looking for some advice.
My 5 month old has been constipated for about 4 days and I’m finding it hard to figure out what’s causing it because we’ve changed a few things recently.
We’ve just started weaning, but only tastes so far, tiny amounts of avocado, pumpkin, pear and carrot purées. We also switched from Nutramigen to Alfamino (prescribed by our doctor), and recently started BioGaia probiotics + vitamin D.
I’ve tried giving a little prune juice, but she’ll only take a few drops so it hasn’t helped. I don’t think she’s in pain, but she hasn’t really been able to poop. The only time she did was after using a Frida Baby Windi, and it was much firmer than her usual poop but thats not working anymore.
Has anyone been through something similar? Do you think it’s more likely the formula, the solids, the probiotics, or just a coincidence? Any tips would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have a question that might sound a bit silly, but I’d really appreciate your advice.
I’m currently on Mounjaro 5 mg. My 2.5 mg pen and my first 5 mg pen both came with the golden dose. However, I’ve now received two new 5 mg pens and one 7.5 mg pen, and none of them have the golden dose. I actually posted about this recently, and I think I was one of the first people on here with new version of the pen on 7.5 mg.
All of my prescriptions have been from Simple Online Pharmacy, and they’ve always been great. But I’m wondering what happens if I order from a different pharmacy for my next pen. Can I switch pharmacies and then go back to Simple Online Pharmacy afterwards without any issues? I have no idea how’s that works!
Also, has anyone recently received a 7.5 mg pen that still had the golden dose and where did you get them? I know there’s no guarantee, but I thought it might be worth trying.
Finally, I received my latest pen on the 27th. When would I be able to place my next order with another pharmacy?
Thank you so much, and sorry if these are silly questions. I’m just trying to save as much money as I can as a postpartum mum. ❤️

I feel like I’m falling apart and would really appreciate some advice from parents who have been through this.
My 5-month-old daughter started with a cough 4 days ago. It became so severe at times that she was coughing until she vomited. We ended up in A&E yesterday where they told us it is most likely a viral chest infection/bronchiolitis. She was sent home with amoxicillin and we were told to monitor her closely.
Today she has a constant runny nose, congestion, sneezing and cough. The cough may be slightly better than yesterday, but she still sounds so congested and miserable. She’s alert and smiling occasionally, which is reassuring, but as a first-time mum I am finding this incredibly stressful.
I feel helpless because there doesn’t seem to be much I can do other than saline drops, cuddles and trying to keep her comfortable. Every little noise she makes has me worrying. Last night I barely slept because I kept checking if she was breathing properly.
For those whose babies had bronchiolitis or a viral chest infection, what actually helped them feel better? Did anything make a noticeable difference? How long did the congestion last and when did you feel your baby finally turned a corner? We are on day 4 now and I’m hoping we’re getting close to the worst being over.
I know babies get sick, but seeing such a little person struggle to breathe through a blocked nose, cough, sneeze and sound so congested all day is heartbreaking. I just want to help her and feel so helpless watching her go through it.
Any advice, experiences or reassurance would be really appreciated. ❤️

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find Pigeon bottle nipples/bottles in the UK with fast shipping or in-store? I really need them sooner than ordering from another continent.

We are currently dealing with bottle aversion issues with my 4-month-old, and I was advised to try a teat flow between the Lansinoh XS and S. Apparently the Pigeon S is very similar in shape to Lansinoh but with a flow that sits right between those two sizes, which sounds exactly like what we need right now.

I’d really appreciate any UK websites, shops, Amazon links, or even local stores that stock genuine Pigeon products. Thank you so much.

I never thought feeding my baby would become something that makes me cry every day. After a difficult pregnancy, birth, reflux/CMPA worries and so many challenges, I always stayed positive… but bottle aversion is breaking me in ways I didn’t expect.

The thought that this can last for months makes me so anxious and sad. I feel like I’m losing myself and even losing the calm connection I had with my baby. I’m trying my absolute best, reading everything, learning every method, watching every wake window and feeding cue… but some days I feel completely defeated.

Please tell me there is light at the end of this tunnel. 🤍

My baby is 15 weeks old and I honestly feel like I’m breaking down over feeding.
She used to drink around 700–950 ml (24-33 oz) a day and was always a hungry, chubby baby. I never tried to overfeed her or limit her, I always followed her cues and honestly thought I was doing everything right.
About 2–3 weeks ago things started changing gradually, but the last 3 days became extreme and now I’m terrified we are dealing with bottle aversion. I started reading Rowena Bennett’s book today and suddenly I feel guilty for things I never even realised could be pressure.
Now as soon as I put her in the feeding position she cries and tries to sit up out of my arms. Sometimes she cries just seeing the bottle. She gags a lot too. The hardest part is that her behaviour feels so conflicting because sometimes she acts hungry but then only takes tiny amounts exactly like the book describes.
She also had severe diarrhoea before and as soon as we changed to hypoallergenic formula (Nutramigen) it stopped completely, so I’m pretty sure she has CMPA. She also used to vomit a lot and doctors think she has reflux signs too. We recently started thickener and I changed teat sizes because of that, then changed back because I became scared the flow was too fast.
She is still alert but she’s nowhere near as happy and relaxed as she used to be and I feel heartbroken. Today her intake has been very low and I’m so scared of dehydration. She also has immunizations next week and everything just feels too much right now.
I genuinely tried to be the best mum I could. Reading the book made me realise maybe I was pressuring her without knowing, but it was never intentional. I was just scared when she stopped drinking.
Did anyone go through something similar especially with reflux/CMPA involved? Did Rowena Bennett’s approach actually help? How long did it take before things improved? I think I really need some positive stories right now because I feel like I’m failing my baby.
