Lactation study for lactating BIPOC women

Hi! I just joined this study through Stanford and thought I’d share. It seems like a really cool study and you get a free oura ring from it :)

Should I be worried about my baby?

My little one slept 7.30-5 last night. - usually when he wakes up his nappy is pretty full of urine. When he woke up it wasn’t full at all, there was some but not a lot.
With this heat I’m trying to keep him hydrated obviously but am concerned that he is dehydrated anyways? If he was dehydrated would there be no wee at all? Or am I overthinking this?
TIA, one worried mumma

ROOM TEMP HELP!

my little girl is 6 months , she still sleeps in the room with us , but it’s showing 33 degrees! the other rooms in the house are no better! i’ve got fans on ( not aiming at her of course ) windows are open now that the sun has gone down , all doors are open ( apart from the back and front )she is just in a nappy and seems ok. she did seem irritable earlier but she was fine shortly after , and i am so worried i can’t even get myself to sleep i’ve tried every tip and trick that’s been advised by NHS ext. , what can i do to help bring the temperature down? thanks x

Room temperature

My room is 31 and my daughter's is 30 so not an option. I have put him to bed in a nappy and a cold muzzy over him dunno what else to do worried he will overheat.

Any advice on what you're doing? Thankyou!

Waking for feeds

At what daily ML do you stop waking your baby for a feed or are people doing it from a certain time. My little one got discharged from hospital and is on reduced feeds due to their breathing we are doing little and often but he’s a good 170ml off of what he would usually have at this time and is technically due a feed in 10 minutes but is fast asleep.
I was given an amount for if he wants to feed every 2 hours and an amount if he wants it every 3. We’ve gone to the 3 as per his cues.
He’s a good weight so I’m not concerned about that side of things just worried about dehydration.
Usually he would have a feed anywhere from now to midnight from his own wanting, not me waking him up and then I just leave him the rest of the night and if he wants a feed he will let me know.
Just anxious with it being so warm and was never really given a time of stop waking him from here, but was told to wake in the day.
Sorry for the big long post and ramble😂

Heat...

The coolest room in our house is currently 31 degrees, we've had windows open and got two fans on opposite sides of the room going and nothing is working to drop the temp more.. Our little one is 7 weeks old I'm terrified he'll overheat 😭😭 do I just stay up all night to keep an eye on him?

Reached my max

Anyone else just reached their max over the last couple of days in terms of mothering especially in this heat. Just absolutely had a breakdown crying once I finally got him to sleep. I’ve had a headache all day, been tired, hot, etc. but you just can’t stop. Took us 4 hrs to get him to sleep.
