    For those who have weaned before.

    @vl32 I had a hormonal emotional crash after night weaning that lasted about 2 to 4 week. Worse than the baby blues for me. Not everyone gets this, but many do.

    Need encouragement… Dr wants me to stop BF, close to failure to thrive, slow gain

    @kars Did you do weighted feeds before he recommended exclusive pumping? Intuitively, I'd do that first? Because transferring to the pump is always less effective than direct suckling, so you'll produce more milk if baby is straight on the tap. And the weighted feed should give you the same...

    I’m a healthy 8+3 (ivf) but my doc said no fitness, no running, no jumping, no lifting..?

    @thesimpsonslover1 If what you decide to go for is a low impact cardio, you could look into Nordic walking. It is basically cross country skiing but without skis. It will give you an opportunity to use you arms, stabilize your core, move at a faster pace etc without being bumpy. The key here is...

    Cosleeping vs bed sharing for 4 month old

    @xuanang01 I think you need to think about all the risks you're managing. Not just SIDS. But like you said, also the physical and emotional risks of mama being so exhausted too. Especially with the type of job you have. But you have options. Between 4 and 7 months, my baby spent a lot of time...

    I am severely sleep deprived

    @satan_loves_you 4 months is the hardest. I do not think a night nanny would want to take baby out of your arms, out of your bed, at night. But I guess you can always ask around. My suggestion would be to get daytime help and take a 4 to 5 hour nap during the day. This will also be cheaper...

    Tandem wearing with two wraps

    @thanksyoueel If you try this and decide that it is getting out of hand, let me put in a good word for strollers on metros. It can be done and it might be easier to manage 2 for a longer trip. Especially if you will need a diaper bag or your big kid wants to get up and down /on and off. I'd...

    Yoga for 3rd tri - but not ‘mild stretching pregnancy yoga’???

    @bakersh3 Hi, I'm a certified prenatal yoga teacher. I have some thoughts and some suggestions. Bc yoga is philosophy driven, as well as physiologically motivated, some of the things we do or do not do in prenatal yoga are for philosophical reasons. These have to do with cultivating the right...
