I have an almost 4 month old so will start food when we get pediatrician approval so can someone please explain starting solids to me like I’m 5? Do I start with purées and if so which ones? How often? When do you start increasing the amount of food? Do you have a schedule? When do you introduce BLW? I am so confused!

While I do have a toddler. I had severe PPD and she wouldn’t eat much and is still till this day the pickiest eater ever and I truly think it’s my fault because I never put in effort before she was 1. I took the whole food is for fun before 1 too seriously and didn’t try and regret it so much

Does anyone have a place they’d recommend for Japanese hair treatment? Can be anywhere Seattle, Bellevue. Redmond, lynnwood etc etc! I’m desperate

My baby is 7 weeks born at 5 pounds and 14 oz so fairly small which might be why she can’t open as wide? and she’s had a shallow latch from day 1 and only sucks onto the nipple.

I saw a lactation consultant and they recommended mouth exercises for 2 weeks and we did those and don’t think it helped them much. They also said to shove her onto my breast basically once she opens wide but she barely opens wide.

I’ve had mastitis twice in 7 weeks despite her feeding every 2 hours during day and even night so I think I’m getting it because she isn’t extracting the milk well due to her latch.

Please help if you’ve experienced this as well

I had pain in my breast and it would hurt anytime i moved or grabbed something and suddenly felt chills and was extremely cold and slept in a ton of layers but had a OB appt the next day and she said it’s not mastitis. But now it’s happening again 3 weeks later and google says symptoms of mastitis so I’m confused. Does this happen to anyone else?

My baby doesn’t have a good latch, she only sucks the nipple but we’ve been doing some mouth exercises to help her from the lactation consultant but feeds 8-10x a day and my breasts don’t usually feel heavy unless it’s middle of the night so this is likely a result of poor latch/breast not getting empty according to Google but pls lmk if this happens to you and any advice!

I have a 3 week old but curious when you start tracking naps and wake windows? I made the mistake of not doing this for my first and she wouldn’t even go to sleep on her own and ended up getting over tired and screaming every night and I had no idea it was sleep so I’m trying not to make same mistake twice so when did you start putting baby down for naps and tracking?

If so, did they give you any meds during and if so which ones and if they gave you meds after also curious which ones? I’m told to try to hold off with meds till after baby is born.

I was giving fentanyl during my last c section because I was going crazy not being able to feel my legs but want to be more prepared this time.

Wanting to switch out my light switches as they’re the outdated style. Any brand recs or does it not matter much?
