Baby (2.5 months) is not sucking on the breast anymore and that has caused my milk supply to reduce drastically. Baby had lost a lot of weight when he was 1 week old due to jaundice and we had to introduce formula to supplement his nutritional needs....I would breast feed the majority of the time and give formula in between whenever possible...since the last month baby has had symptoms of fever , congestion, cold and stuffy/ runny nose which had caused him to not be able to feed through the breast as he would get exhausted from sucking due to his nose.This was followed by his vaccination where he had gotten injections on both arms and one leg caused him to be extremely fussy and he refused to be touched ...I had to bottle feed him majorly in that scenario too ..now the baby has developed a preference for the bottle ( fast flow and nipple shape) . I have tried switching him back to the breast but he gets fussy and impatient and refuses it completely and I have to give him the bottle in the end .

Will an electric breast pump be able to help me in this scenario? I have the pigeon manual pump but using it is exhausting as it's time taking and my hand starts hurting with it . I have tried lactogenic granules , fennel and Fenugreek seeds , maintained a balanced diet but still the milk supply is not enough... Please suggest what I can do in this situation so that I am able to breastfeed my son and his needs are met.

is masters mandatory? I have a bcom hons

I am feeling very anxious and knowing about experiences as to what to expect during this whole thing, will help me calm my nerves.

Main questions that are going in my mind

1. does the doctor/hospital asks for your id, for consultation or any tests? (Maybe I will have to get an ultrasound?)

2. how invasive are these tests?

3. post effects after taking the meds prescribed (I am expecting this to be hopefully resolved over the counter and not via surgery)

I am really losing my sleep over this. As it's definitely been either 4-5 weeks since the conception as per my logs in the periods tracking app that I used, which was confirmed by one of those tests at home when the usual pms symptoms just kept getting worse.

Note: I have a doctor's appointment. But anxious. Would really appreciate any inputs if anyone has gone through something simila.

So I’m feeling embarrassed to ask this. I never had a proper career path, and I’m already 26 with many wrong career decisions behind me. I spent years preparing for government jobs without real interest in them, and recently shifted to an online sales job in edtech. I’ve been working here from the last 4 months, and honestly, I feel exhausted and no energy .

I keep having this doubt if I get an onsite job, how do people actually plan everything? Where do they stay until they find a PG? How do they manage expenses and survive in a completely new city?

Right now, I’m looking for marketing intern roles. The maximum stipend I’m getting offered is around 10k, probably because I don’t have an MBA and only have an arts degree along with current sales experience. Recently, I got a call from an interior design company for an onsite marketing intern role Bengaluru.

I also feel very naive about how the real working world functions since I don’t have much exposure yet.

Earlier, my dad didn’t agree to me taking an onsite job, so I converted my current role to remote since that option was available. But I’m still applying for onsite opportunities in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

I genuinely want to understand how people practically manage these transitions and build their lives from scratch

Hi girliess!!

Got my blood checkup done last week and the reports explain the symptoms. I have been feeling dizzy out of nowhere which never happened earlier, lot of stress going on(life) etc.

I am going to doctor for consultation on weekend, though wanted to check anyone who has severely low as ferritin 14, b12 130, vitamin d 20.

I am already researching on how and what all to include in my diet to optimize it. Do any of you were able to recover the values at optimal range through food and supplements?

Also pls drop your suggestions for trusted supplement brands, I get too confused on every search and close the page everytime!

Hello ladies!

You're welcome to share or promote your businesses here because Entrepreneurship is superr-coool! Please keep in mind that you make a single comment though. Good luck! :)

We live together in a joint family tho our family dont talk to eachother and also my siblings and my cousins don't talk for years. And my grandma sometime uses my phone for calling her relatives and that's why my phone sometimes stays with her and my cousin (17M) knew my lock. And yesterday i was listening to music while walking and then he came and said I've seen your pictures i git confused which pictures he is talking about he said i have seen your pic the one you deleted (i deleted those nude pics and videos) and he said i saw them in the recycle bin and then i got scared because he's like the least good person i know i hate him since he was a kid and he is just a dickhead. I acted nonchalant that's the only way i thought was helpful i said idk what you're talking about or something like that and leave. Later at night i sleep in the living room with my brother our bed are different and i sleep late but last night around 2am i saw him in my bedroom it was dark so he might have not seen me but i saw him walking closer to my bed but thankfully my bed was close to my brothers and he couldn't reach to my bed because some furniture were blocking the way. Idk what he was trying to do i was very scared. Idk what will happen now I'm scared if he will tell everyone about it or do something weird. I also feel very disgusted that he saw my pics and videos of me pleasuring myself. I just wish he eventually forget about it tho he's not that kind of person.

Basically the question. In my late thirties now. Want to focus on bone health without having to resort to supplemental tablets. I was thinking I could start having women's Horlicks. Have you ladies tried it? What's your opinion? Is there anything that is better out there?

Ok
So I am an investment banker on a sabbatical and I’ve started a teeny tiny page around money advice and I want to keep it woman focused.

Why? because I read a lot of research on my job and it all pointed towards one thing - women are currently more risk averse and that contributes to the wealth gap. So a woman earns less on an average, research indicates she saves a larger % of her income but it goes towards safe havens like FDs where her wealth creation potential is eroded and men take riskier bets so they see higher returns.

So I want my page to answer questions that women in particular have - what do you wish someone explains when you set up an SIP
What do you think scares you from investing
Are there any alternate assets like debt, crypto, govt schemes that you have come across but you didn’t have the time to figure out the fine print so you avoided it?

I’ll do my best to answer it here and it will give me some direction for what topics my page should take

Hi all!

Lately I’ve been having a surprisingly difficult time around my periods, and I genuinely didn’t expect it to affect me this much 😭

Not just cramps - but no energy to work, brain fog, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, struggling to focus at work, becoming weirdly sensitive/anxious, wanting to isolate, etc. Some months it genuinely feels like everything becomes ten times harder for a few days.

What’s been frustrating is that when I started looking into this properly, I realized how little nuanced conversation or trustworthy information exists around women’s hormonal health beyond very surface-level “period cramps” discussions. Also, my gyanec just brushed it off.

It sent me down a huge rabbit hole around PMS/hormonal health and now I’m really curious about how other women experience it.

I’d honestly love to know:

• What symptoms hit you the hardest emotionally/mentally/physically?
• Does PMS genuinely affect your work, relationships, confidence, productivity, etc in a meaningful way?
• Have you actually found anything that genuinely helps?
• Have you spent money trying to fix/manage it? Was it worth it?
• Do you feel like we just normalize suffering through this because there aren’t many trustworthy solutions?

Would genuinely love to hear other women’s experiences because I feel like we don’t talk about this enough 💛

Hi ladies,

This is a space for you to introspect and share 3 things that you are grateful for today. Even though life gets hard, we all have our blessings that keep us safe and smiling. May be this will help you feel better.

Lots of love,

Girls who uses minoxidil-
I want to start minoxidil but I’ve seen a few replies saying that it worsened their dark circles. I already have sunken eyes and I don’t want them to become more pronounced. Does it thin the under eye skin?

Not in middle management yet, just curious. As my long term goal is to be tech manager.

I am in 4th sem rn and yet I don't have linkedin account, mostly because I don't have anything to show there and I haven't done anything till now, also I am too embarassed about my college and overall with myself, seeing other's linkedin gives me huge huge anxiety that my friends and cousins are doing so well in life and here I am wasting oxygen on earth.

I will be preparing for GATE and will create linkedin during my mtech so since job search isn't the moto now, can I avoid linkedin for now ?

Tbh I also feel dumb that I haven't created linkedin yet meanwhile my friends are posting about competitions and hackathons
