Might be pregnant 😬
So a couple weeks ago I started spotting but not just a regular spotting.. it only happened when I would use the restroom & sometimes there would be chunks. I don't know how else to describe it but it's never happened like that before. That lasted about 3-4 days & I haven't gotten my regular period. I'm sort of exci...
Pumping
What pump do you use? Do you like it and why? Anyone have experience with the Elvie or other hands free pump?
Tongue-tie and clogged milk ducts
My little guy is 6 weeks. At his first pediatrician visit, I was told he is tongue-tied but it was ‘mild’ and didn’t need a procedure.

We’ve recently transitioned him from baby bottles to sippy cups at night into his brothers bedroom. He’s gone from falling asleep on bottle to being put in crib and comforted till he falls asleep (patting...
Which formula? 1 week old baby
Which formula is best to use for babies struggling with trapped wind and acid reflux?
Breastfeeding & pumping
I have 6 week old twins, who have never been the best at latching - they either won't latch, lose interest after 5-10 minutes or require a lot of double handed support. I have never been able to tandem breastfeed, if I'm not holding my breast with my other hand to keep them on/squeeze to force milk out they just fal...
