I don't get sick or dizzy but while we are at Meijer my body just will feel super heavy all the sudden and I'll get a little light headed and winded.

This happened to me recently at a Safeway store we were there for maybe 30 mins or less and I just started to lose it super light headed felt like I was going to puke or pass out I was confused why such a small task did that to me it was kinda scary but I just thought it was because I’m pregnant. I almost sat on the floor in the store I bent down but I was seconds away from sitting all the way down. So crazy how our bodies work

Crazy right, this has happened to me 3x’s in the same store strangely. It’s always after work I stop to grab a few items & find myself having urge to go to bathroom , then I start sweating & my head is pounding & I’m in line tryna ring up & it just gets worse cuz something goes wrong at self check out & I eventually just avoid this store now. Def thought I would pass out though, idk what the deal was.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Showering

What’s everyone putting there wee ones in whilst jumping in the shower? Awake or sleeping.
