Baby n2 (breastfeeding and no periods)

We are thinking about conceiving baby n2 in the next few months. I’m EBF and don’t have my periods yet. We are still open to try and see what happens as we heard that you can fall pregnant without them back in your cycle. However, how do you track ovulation?

I don’t know about tracking ovulation beside using the tests or checking temp, but I found through some research that some people won’t get their periods back until they are getting enough calories. I started tracking mine, and when I started getting enough, my period came back! This was 13mo pp with nursing. I got pregnant with my second on the following cycle!

I don’t know about tracking. I EBF my babies. Basically when I conceived my first I didn’t have a period for 2 1/2 years. I didn’t worry about it to much but when I went for my annual check I brought it up as it was about 2 1/2 years and because of my age I wanted to know everything was okay. I was put on progesterone and that started my cycle again. It was unknown if I would continue to have my period every month but I did and was pregnant again within a couple of months.
Again I never tracked or planned. I would say try and have fun, love, relax and big thing DON’T STRESS

Nature may take its course but if not happening within the time frame you want, maybe get checked and/or see if there is something you can take while breastfeeding to start your cycle again.

FTM mom here and EBF… but got my period early November 😭 I guess everyone’s body is different.

I’m tracking my period/ovulation using “Flo.” I don’t pay for the premium and use the free stuff on there.

I just track my periods with Flo and I had my period exactly a month after my baby was born and have been 28 days after each month. Just started my 3rd period PP today 🥴

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
