My feet are absolutely vile, they are soooo dry and scaly with thick calluses and peeling skin and deep cracks. I think it’s because I am constantly barefoot and never wear socks. Catch 22 because I am embarrassed to wear sandals with the current state of my feet. I abhor the feeling of foot cream, especially at night. Do I need a medical pedicure with callus remover? What do you do to keep your feet soft and smooth, ESPECIALLY if you’re prone to cracks and thick calluses?

My baby is 13 months and waking up crying every single night one hour after he falls asleep, then again 1-2 hours later, then 2-3 more times until morning!

8PM bedtime 9PM first wakeup 10:15PM second wakeup 12:30PM third wakeup

And so on… until 7:30 the next morning pretty much. Longest stretch he’ll go is 3 hours.

He falls asleep easily like a little angel drinking a bottle in the rocking chair, no issues at all with falling asleep. Once asleep I put him in his floor bed and he stays asleep, but then wakes screaming an hour later.

We are transitioning him from formula to whole milk which I thought would help, but honestly he doesn’t even seem to be that hungry when he wakes up, he just wants to be snuggled back to sleep.

We’ve always had him in our bed and still do at night once we go to sleep, I’ll bring him in when he wakes up.

1000% unwilling to do any form of sleep training that requires us to let him cry.

But he takes his naps and starts the night on his floor bed immediately next to ours.

Any recommendations? Are we doing anything wrong or is this to be expected?

I am obsessed with the way that mint chewing gum smells in combination with perfume. Like you are so fresh and clean all around. Are there any fragrances that have that minty undertone? I’m not looking for straight mint (though I used to rub peppermint essential oil on my wrists) - more like you are wearing fragrance and chewing mint gum at the same time. A perfume that smells like that!
