My girls only 6 months and we’re not there yet but everyone seems to rave about the Aston and parsons teething powder? Is that any good? Xx

Benevits teething gel is brilliant, I pop some on my little ones soother and she calms down straight away. I was told by doctor if she’s really bad that calpol is fine to use every night but check with your doctor x

Try camella its natural and safe to swallow. Another option is orajel or tylenol

I use the boiron camilia oil. Someone on this app actually recommended that to me as a natural alternative when we got to teething. They also have a night one. I've personally found it helps ease a lot of the discomfort. Not completely but it was enough for my little one to manage. You should be able to find this at your local pharmacy whether its the same brand or another ! I hope this helps 🤗

Best thing I did for pumping

When my son was born he was 6 weeks early and my supply was not in and I didn’t want to formula feed him. I got an amazing output after 5 days straight of pumping for what felt like hours and then when he left the NiCu and he came home my supply drooped rapidly, like over 150ml to under 60mls and this kid wanted to eat a lot so the stress didn’t help. I did my research and started drinking mother milk and Moringa tea every morning and let me tell you the difference after a few hours is scary good. The photo is after 13 mins of pumping on a machine that when I used it for 30 mins I got the smallest amount.

This might not work for everyone but it’s definitely something I personally recommend trying at least once if you can and your supply is low.

This is coming from some that did everything, coconut water, oats, hot showers, body armour sports drink, power pumping.

Thoughts on taking one to hospital?
Think there’s advice to wait if you’re planning on breastfeeding but could be wrong. Hopefully planning on just expressing milk and have plenty of colostrum.

Have you had a “do whatever you want” moment? Share the battles you didn’t pick

At 2am my youngest was inconsolably screaming. After 20 minutes trying to figure out what she wanted she got a bar, but no it doesn’t stop there! She refused to throw the wrapper away and instead insisted on sleeping with it. So there she was snuggling with an empty bar wrapper like it was her most loved possession and I finally got to go back to sleep (I went to bed at 1:30 so I was in no shape to fight again lol)

Getting scared it’s a habit now

Anyone anxious birthing a whole human infront of their husband?

I don’t want him to see ANYTHING! What if I poop and he sees it? Or just the pure trauma from all the blood and obviously what your coochie looks like during birth.

colostrum

i know they say how much colostrum you collect before birth doesn't influence your milk supply after birth but today (my third time collecting it) I got 18 syringes and am worried I'll be an oversupplier and get infections because of it
