Weight loss

Anyone have any tips on how to not loose a ton of weight breastfeeding. I’m trying my hardest but not having cravings anymore. Makes it hard to eat. I’ve gone from 1:30 to 1:05 and I hate it so much. I don’t know what to do but I’m not gonna stop breast-feeding just so I can keep weight.

I just came to say you are seen! Me too! I’ve lost so much weight and my body is starting to feel it! It’s hard! I also do not crave eating much, I have found that snacks and easy foods that I can have throughout the day has helped with me with eating more, not necessarily good but sometimes it’s a bowl of cottage cheese. Sometimes it’s a couple packs of gummies or a pouch of applesauce!

I try the uncrushables have been my saving grace it just be so hard to eat and then I don’t have the time to cook three meals a day like it’s just so much I loved my weight and I’m I’m back to the size I was before I was pregnant basically and I just hate it. It really fucks on my mental health. I wake up so lightheaded I can barely stand up sometimes I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I’m having the opposite problem ☹️

Not really related but a few years ago I got put on some medication and lost a bunch of unwanted weight. I had no appetite as well the only thing that helped me was drinking the Ensure Shakes (you can find them at Walmart or any food store) I probably drank 2 or 3 a day and I was able to put on some weight❤️

Should I be as concerned as I am?

My daughter has her 1 yr doctor's appointment on the 11th and I wanna ask her pediatrician about it but she's entering the toddler stage so I'm not sure if it's normal. But we've caught her bitting her hands and arms when she's upset. She also pinches others including herself. Is this normal behavior for a toddler? Two of my brothers have autism and this was a huge sign for them as they reached elementary school so I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Eventually I also want to get her tested for ADHD (my brothers also have this and so does her dad - no longer in the picture btw) her father also has schizophrenia which I didn't find out until recently. What is the appropriate age to get her tested? I'm a ftm so idk what to do or think. On top of this I want to get her legs checked out because of the way they are when she's walking. Will they straighten out on their own? Is this normal for babies? Is this something worth asking her pediatrician about? Down below is a video of this so anyone who has a good idea about this or advice would be very helpful!!!

Pram recommendations?

I’m starting to look at travel systems and really love the Silver Cross ones, but they’re so expensive. I’m happy to invest in a good pram if it’s worth it, but I’ve seen a lot of people say they can be quite heavy and that they ended up switching to a cheaper lightweight buggy later on.

Can anyone recommend a pram that’s great from newborn onwards? Thank you in advance ☺️

My son won’t walk with me.

He is 2.5 years and I have to carry him everywhere to get anywhere since he doesn’t listen. If I put him on the ground and hold his hand he will either squirm out of it and run or throw himself on the ground and go limp. He doesn’t come or stay close when I call. He immediately bolts and expects me to follow him. I don’t believe in hitting or yelling. I do stern talk for danger and tried giving him one of two options. None of the other kids his age are this way. They listen to their parents and stay close. What do I do?

Breastfeeding toddler

I'm still breastfeeding my son who will be two in a few months.

It still feels completely natural and is mainly a way that he settles himself but I am thinking of gently weaning at some point soon.

I am more aware of other people's opinions about it now he's a bit older, despite this being completely normal in a lot of places and the World Health Organization still recommending brrastfeeding up to two years of age or beyond.

Detergent for clothes

Do you wash your newborn’s clothes with a special detergent or just the usual one you wash the adult clothes with?
