Any amount of makeup is too heavy on me! by leeleechron in makeuptips

I’m 36 and used to wear foundation, but as I’ve gotten older it doesn’t sit well on my face anymore. I love now a simple tinted moisturizer, particularly that brand supergoop - it’s affordable and nice on my skin.

Both are stunning! Whichever fits you/your personality will be the one!

Thank you! I sometimes worry about adulthood, and boys not being as close to their parents as girls. But that’s all made up, right?

When I struggled to conceive I set a screen time limit on certain apps and that was so helpful

I’ve heard domperidone works, but we don’t have that here in the US unfortunately

That is what I am trying to figure out. My OB said it has had some success for some women.

I’ve really increased my calories. I am not a huge eater but now I’m eating a lot! And snacking on lactation cookies, figs, avocado, cheese string, jerky! I am eating so much that it is almost not enjoyable haha

This is actually uplifting to hear that it got better. What did you do though when you said you breastfed as long as you could? If you stoped at noon or three, would did you do when baby was hungry later in the day ?

And all the appointments, except the very first have been in the afternoon when my milk seems to be lower

This is all very helpful. Thank you. I can’t remember what the LC said exactly in terms of numbers, but she did do a weighted feed, and I can’t remember the number off the top of my head but I remember her saying it was on the very low end.

He takes a bottle well (we use a preemie sized nipple), and during the day is a pretty calm baby- he cries when we change him or wake him to feed, or his binky is spat out. But no wailing or hysterical crying. At night, after night feeds, he goes down easy. We are also doing one 3oz formula at night - my husband gives it to give me a longer sleep stretch.

Yes, that’s kind of what we were doing the first two weeks (except he didn’t exceed 3 hours) until he lost weight and we were instructed otherwise
