Advice

I am having a procedure done soon at a clinic and i am having local anaesthetic, i am breastfeeding my 16 month old still and they have told me they would like me to be fully done breastfeeding before i get it done because their worried about the local anaesthetic going into the milk but when i do my research it says it is completely safe, also when i gave birth i had local anaesthetic for when i was stitched up?? any advice

Has anyone used one of these?

A coworker suggested one of these for our flight this weekend to Canada. Was wondering if anyone used one and if it was useful or not. Do airlines allow anything like this??

Struggling

My 6 week old baby constantly wants to feed during the day. She’s ebf so I’m doubting if she’s getting enough because every time I put her down she wakes up crying for me 😬 my other 2 children weren’t like this. I’m finding I can’t even go to the loo without her waking up screaming for me. Should I just leave her to cry it out?? Any tips?

Baby scratching face

My 3 month old keeps scratching her face. I keep her nails as short as I can. I trim them with nail clippers daily and file them down with a glass file so there aren’t sharp corners but she keeps managing to scratch herself still. I’ve tried putting scratch mittens on and using the sleep suits with the bits that fold over her hands but she hates them and will scream until I take them off. Does anyone know of anything that will help me get her nails shorter safely or something to cover her hands which might be more comfortable that she won’t hate?
