Tattoo

I have an unfinished tattoo that I’m eager to get finished. However, I am currently pregnant but wondering If postpartum will be okay to do while breast feeding. Has anyone else done this?

They say 2 wait at least 6 months PP

It's not recommended to do so while pregnant/breastfeeding. However I've had several artists say to wait until the baby is older (6-9+mo) if you can't wait until they're weaned.
That said, I'm sure others have done this. I formula fed so I don't have a better answer for the experience part

No the ink goes into your bloodstream so it is not recommended. I understand how anxious you are! I had a tattoo incomplete when I got pregnant and ended up waiting 2 years 😅 I breastfed for an extended amount of time

Was the nursery carer wrong for saying this?

My baby is starting nursery (she’s 13 months). Today was her first settling in hour. My baby has CMPA and we are working on introducing dairy to her with a dietician. For now she can’t have cows milk. She’s still breastfed. They said she can have oatmilk with breakfast and I’m happy with this as we do this at home too. However they also offer them milk to drink and I said I’m happy to provide breastmilk. The manager emailed me about it earlier and said it’s fine as long as it’s clearly labeled. The nursery worker seemed not keen and said she can drink oat milk and she can have breastmilk at home. Is it just me or was that comment wrong?

How beautiful must be

To have a baby that at 21 months sleeps nicely through the night and wakes up at a decent time (7am would be already a good time)?
I cannot stop thinking how being it must be for the parents of those babies who are now finally sleeping through the night and not waking up before 6am.

I’m so so done with the night awakenings and early rise and a grumpy baby since the time he opens his eyes

4 month regression?

My baby is only 3 months but recently nights have been a nightmare do you think it can be this early? It also started after his injections over a week ago

Infant in front seat?

Looking for advice, I have to drive 2 hours with just me and my infant and I’m worried if he gets unsettled in back of car that I won’t be able to tend to him but also anxious of putting him in front seat. Has anyone ever travelled with infant in front seat and has any advice on the subject? TIA ❤️
