This question seems to pop up a lot. A simple google search will tell you. But from what I gather, THC will stay in breast milk from 2.5 days to over 6 weeks depending on usage frequency.

Breast milk actually has a natural cannabinoid in it already. Look it up. Also, mama of two kiddos, breastfed my last one and partook in it daily with absolutely no effects on my baby, hes above average and very healthy.

Pregnancy snoring anxiety

I have started snoring and apparently it is *loud*.
I have major anxiety about keeping other mums awake on the labour ward after giving birth. I’ve tried saline spray and trying nose strips tonight but I think I’m more stressed about this than labour! Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?
Thank you!

Struggling today

I have an 18 month old and I’m 20 weeks pregnant. I’m struggling today mentally, I tried to do a home workout because for me exercise really helps my mental health and my daughter just screamed at me until I pick her up. It’s just the realisation that my life isn’t mine anymore and it’s going to be even less of that with another child.

Everything I do is for my child and it’s so tiring 😞 I went from being fully independent and doing whatever I want to becoming a wife and mother. There are days I enjoy it but it’s rough and I feel so lonely my husband works a lot to provide for us and I don’t have close friends locally.

I just feel regretful for my life decisions I really loved my life before being a mother. both pregnancies were “mistakes” but I was married and didn’t want to terminate so I guess I just have to deal with the consequences now.

I’m sure most mums can relate in some way. I’ve just burst into tears now. I’m exhausted physically and mentally. Now I’ve just put the TV on for my child and I already feel so shit that she’s watching a lot of screen time when we are at home - I try to get out the house a lot with her but I do find it hard especially whilst pregnant

MUMS OF 3

I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, even though I’m so freshly postpartum I do want one more. Am I going crazy? What’s it like having that extra kid? What’s a good age gap ? Maybe I’ll wait until my newborn is 4?

Big baby comments

My 3 month old son is on the 99th centile for both his height and weight (I'm 6ft and his dad is 6ft5) and we seem to get lots of comments from people about it.. (he's a bruiser/chunk/big boy ect.) I've always had trouble with body image and I don't know if I'm just being overly sensitive but I feel a pang of sadness whenever someone says a comment about his size... What are some good comebacks to say when people make these comments, without being rude or confrontational

Formula advice

My babies 4 months old and currently on Kendamil but is drinking 210ml bottles every 2-3 hours sometimes every hour an half he’s also had so skin issues like eczema and spits up quite often this only appeared when I changed from aptamil to Kendamil when he was a few weeks old.

Has anyone else experienced skin issues with kendamil also has anyone ever used hungry baby formula?

I’m trying to decide if I should swap him over onto another brand 🙂

2AM wake up

Anyone else’s 6-month-old still waking up around 2 a.m.? Our pediatrician cleared us to give a little water instead of a full formula feeding during that wake-up since she’s now 6 months old. We tried it last night, and she would fall asleep for a minute or two, then wake right back up. The second I brought her into bed with me, she passed out immediately.

Now I’m wondering if this could be separation anxiety starting already? Has anyone else gone through this at 6 months?
