How many colostrum syringes to take?
Hi all, I’ve just started harvesting. How many syringes would you recommend to take? I’ll be having a c- section so I imagine I’ll be in hospital at least 2 days.

How many do you have? When I brought mine I had them store it in their fridge. It was a hassle to ask for them and wait on them. Honestly annoying. Maybe if you have your cooler with you and you can access it whenever you want would make things easier. I brought 6 2ml syringes with me and honestly I only used 3 because of all the hassle but at the end of the day I needed to keep latching the baby to make the milk come in. And at the end I ended up giving formula because she was starving and fussy

Stains
Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

Suicidal can anyone relate?
been depressed since I was in middle school now i’m 23 with a 2 year old drinking every day to stop from killing myself why does it never get better? Saw this story of woman who tried to drown her and her kids in a pool and honestly I completely understood. why keep a child in this miserable world. taking them out is saving them especially when no one would take care of them after you die anyways

How long did baby sleep in your room?
My little one is only just 4 months but is rolling and already pretty much grown out of his next to me crib in size! I am an anxious mum and a stickler for following safety guidelines so we are going to dismantle and rebuild his big cot in our bedroom. Obviously that's a big of a faff for just 2 months but the more I think about it the more I can't even think about him moving into his own bedroom anytime soon... It feels so wrong to me to just stick my infant in his own bedroom? 😂 But obviously I know it needs to happen at some point so I'm just curious to see when other parents did the transition whether earlier or later?

Why no trigger warning???
Why are people posting pics of blood abd mucus plugs without the sensitive content warning??? Not everyone has the stomach to see that, there's first time moms on here who don't need to see it like have some consideration for others??

Anyone who breastfed before… is it worth it?
Its much harder than I thought and I almost never get to sleep. Most people told me oh it gets easier but lots of mamas told me like ‘oh my 7 month old still feeds every 1.5 hours’ 😬
Where is the easy part in this? Really need some encouragement. We did formula for our oldest and right now it seems so appealing to share with my husband and get some sleep… 😭🙈
