Wasn't talking about smoking. Was talking a mounjaro weightloss injections.

None of the semaglutide meds are recommended while breastfeeding because they’re not sure if it’s safe for baby. I’d talk to your doctor. I’m waiting to be done to get on it 😅

There’s not enough research or data when it comes to breastfeeding, so it won’t be recommended x

lol ur comment made me giggle 🤣🤍

I talked to my doctor and they said there may be some semiglutide present in the milk that can transfer to the baby. But another reason to really think about it is because it will dip your supply since you’re not going to be hungry. I’ll tell you what my doctor told me - do what you feel comfortable with.

thank you for this, will you be waiting until you stop breastfeeding? X

Yes I decided to wait until I stop breastfeeding. I didn’t want to take that chance. Also, I didn’t want to do that to my body after it just went through probably the most physical traumatic event and delivered a healthy baby. I stopped thinking about the “snap back” and I want to be kind to myself, nourish my body. Easier said than done, I get frustrated I’m not back to my weight especially when you see all these IG influencer moms who delivered around the same time as me but I take it day by day. However, if getting back to my previous weight was super important and it would help me feel better, be a better mom/wife I would do it and stop breastfeeding. Everyone is different! Whatever you decide just be informed and do what’s best for your family and YOU.

Sorry forgot to click the reply message on your question. See below :)

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

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
