    Pediatrician says I’m nursing my 4 week old too often - not sure what to do

    @christopher000 God why do doctors have to say such ridiculous shit all the time... I am sorry that your ped robbed you of your confidence as a mother. You are doing a great job and there is nothing wrong with comfort nursing. As adults we are allowed to take pleasure in a hot tea on a cold...

    S.O.S

    @flowerchildtt If it's a red spotty rash is probably got some thrush in there which needs some antifungal. You can get one mixed with a mild steroidal cream that will help heaps. Other than that it might be your wash routine and a ammonia burn. How did you sanitise the inserts and what is your...
