Breast milk! It’s not just lore, it really helps.

Like she said above. Breastmilk. There's actually so much that it helps treat and heal.

just bathe them in it, or other suggestions ? Making just enough milk and I don’t want to waste it lol. I’m wondering the same thing as you

Breast milk and then clean with Mustela baby cleanser and tubby Todd all over ointment

I hate wasting and I feel you tremendously. I take any drops from a let down or extra from a bottle/pump (since EBF from breast vs. pump moms don’t have the bottle option, I’d suggest a few drops from hand expression right before or after feeding). A drop on the main area is enough. I haven’t had enough myself to do a whole “bath”!

Breast milk alone wasn’t really helping mine so I caved and bought the tubby Todd ointment and literally in just 2 days it has made a huge difference for us!

I just left it alone and it went away in 1 week or so

i completely forgot to give an update 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️it turned out to be eczema and since it was getting worse the pediatrician prescribed a cream just in case however ive been using aveeno baby eczema line and its really been helping i noticed a difference literally the next day you do have to be consistent with it otherwise it could comeback and worse if any mama is experiencing this as well i would highly recommend this line thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions and advice i really appreciate it🥰🥰🥰🥰

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?
