Intimate piercings

Hi everyone

I’m thinking about redoing a couple of intimate piercings I used to have but took out a few years ago before I was pregnant. I’ve been toying with the idea of re-piercing my nipples, but after breastfeeding and some weight loss, my boobs definitely aren’t what they used to be — so I’d love to hear if anyone’s found nipple piercings have made sad (sagging) boobs look "better" or helped them feel more confident again after those changes?

Also, does anyone know if UK parlours offer any kind of local anaesthetic or numbing for nipple / genital piercings? The artist that did mine previously gave me a small injection which made it painless.

Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated 💛

Newborn visitors

Would you make someone wait a few days after flying on a plane before coming to see your newborn?

My reason being that planes are full of germ ridden strangers and I’m already going to be paranoid about germs with my baby being a winter born baby.

My mum implied that I’m being dramatic.

Opinions needed!

So my partner and I aren't that well off financially. We vave a 19 month old and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. We wanted to move to a 2 bed flat before baby comes but it seems we can't afford it comfortably.

Is it unrealistic to change our 1 bed flat to a 2 bed, where we'd change the front room slightly for my partner, me and the newborn to sleep so that my toddler can have his own room. I'm also weary of my son having to get used to being in his own room before baby comes, so us staying where we are would enable him time for that.

Or, do we push for another flat that's bigger and more expensive and scrape by?

What are your thoughts?

Aptamil or kendamil?

Milk supply

Can you train yourself to make more milk or do you just have a set amount?😆

I only manage to get 2 ounces each session (1 ounce from each side).
Baby is nearly 4 weeks old & I’ve been pumping since day 3 when my milk came in.
I pump very regularly (after every breast feed to top my girl up because she gets so sleepy on the boob & doesn’t get a chance to drink the fatty milk, this was causing weight issues so was advised to do this by the feeding clinic). I’ve never had the chance to build a stash because she obviously drinks it all as soon as it’s pumped. I’d love to be able to produce more, the only advice I’ve seen is to pump & feed regularly & stay hydrated which I already do x

What do I do?!

My four month old keeps rolling over onto his tummy while sleeping, it’s the first night but hes done it like 5 times since 8pm . What if he can’t breathe?? I’m so anxious, I feel like I won’t be sleeping till he’s over this ‘phase’

I’m so terrified.. what do I do? Help😭

Wearing baby sleeping bag

Hi guys, so as it's been summer I haven't needed to use a sleeping bag for my son. Since it's getting colder now, I've started using it but am curious to know when do people put sleeping bags on their babies? I usually feed to sleep so I wait until he's sleepy then put him in his sleeping bag but then he wakes up again. I then have to feed him more before he dozes off again. Is there a better way of doing it that I haven't thought of?
