I Just went to a shower, hot water or hot compress and then , massage Them a little bit and that’s it.

I had to fill a bowl with hot water, epson salt and literally just sit it in there. Tried shower and bath. Also it helped to lean forward and milk yourself. Bonus if your husband is willing to help!

Pump or hand express, warm compress or warm shower!

Massaging has helped me and I guess pineapple juice is also helpful. Someone suggested it to me. I haven't done my own research on it, but each time I've had a clogged milk duck I would drink pineapple juice and then within the day it would be gone

I found hand express helped more. Pump seemed to make it worse

Hot shower, warm compress or massage, and when these weren’t working for me I got Momcozy Lactation Massager and dug the narrow end in which helped in seconds. The massager also has a heat function. This device was a game changer for me on clogged ducts!

Warm water and epsom salt in a haaka after every feed or pump session until unclogged

Ice packs, cabbage leaves, pump until empty each time (but don’t go overboard on length or add pumping sessions or you could increase supply)
Massaging !
Sunflower lecithin

Only thing that worked for me was sunflower lecithin it helps thin out the clog and nurse or pump on that side, it was gone within 3 days and I had a bad one. It was hot to touch

Cold compress aswell for inflammation not hot, the heat makes it worse

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
