Sort of in the same boat.

The thing that worries me are microplastics, since they now show up in people's brains and placentas. I've got rid of everything plastic in the kitchen - utensils, cutting boards, got rid of my non stick pan. Replaced with either wood or steel/iron.

I am looking into using less chemicals around the house as well, especially the harshest ones like bleach.

I've also started looking at what materials are clothes made of since I had no idea so many are made with plastic.

Lot of people would probably call that crazy 😁

We've started to do similar. We've ditched as much plastic as we possibly could, especially things that get heated up. We've also started to use more natural cleaning products, soaps, sampoos ect. We opted for miniml but there are other plenty of options, it's just the one that we thought was good and easily accessible x

Not sure how to reply to an existing thread 🤔 I use Jackson Reece - Kinder by nature wipes. They are plastic free, non toxic and made in the UK. They're quite expensive on Amazon but they have their own site and they do subscription discounts which are good. We've been using them for ages, I would definitely recommend. I've used Water wipes before, but I find them too thick/rough

How often are you breastfeeding after baby turned 1?

Health visitor said to reduce so it doesn't ruin appetite for food but just wondering how often others are doing it. Thanks x

Triple feeding

Looking for advice/ support re triple feeding. I have a 3 month old little boy. I was keen from the start to breastfeed him but things didn't really go as planned. I had an emergency csection, and i guess milk came in later than expected. Initially it was all ok, he was gaining weight as per normal, didn't loose much after 5 days.
It all went downhill from the 6 week review i had with the gp as he dropped half centile and gp advised i top up after each feed.
I was then referred to the infant feeding support team and they advised i start pumping 8 to 12 times per day and top up... started doing that straight away..
After a few weeks with no changes, i went private and was told my LO has a posterior tongue tie and was recommended to see an osteopath. We had the division done a week ago, saw the osteopath twice... and still no changes.. i feel like he is having more and more from the bottle. I am doing paced feeding with the bottle and he did gain weight in the meantime.. which seems to indicate that the triple feeding is working but i am so so tired of pumping all the time... does anyone have any success stories with the triple feeding? Does it ever end? Desperate to just exclusively breastfeed my lovely little one

Wake windows

Is anyone else's baby having really random awake and nap times? I know wake windows aren't a science and I only use them as a rough guide but my daughter (15 weeks) was working towards a nice 4 nap schedule with 1.5-1.75 hours between naps, lately we've gone back to 5 naps most days (she is a chronic cat napper) but the last few days its been all over the place! Today she had 30 min, then an hour awake, then 45 minutes, 90 min awake, 45 minutes, 2 hours awake and has just gone back to sleep again now. Anyone else?

Wearable breast pump

Hi.
I'm reading a lot about how important to establish the milk supply. I really want to exclusively breastfeeding and I want to make sure I have enough milk, but I read the wearable breast pump can mess up the supply? It's not as simple as more you pump more you able to produce? Or I'm just think its that simple? What is your thoughts/ experience on this?
