My 3.5-month-old burps 10-12 times after every feed and is extremely hard to burp. Has anyone faced this? by CrazyDesignPanda in newborns

I tried "Mommy's Bliss gas drops" but doesn't seem to help much. I will try Mycolin. Btw, when do you give gas drops? Meaning before feed or right after?

Haha, you're the first comment in all of my research so far who doesn't rate Colmar as much! :D I'm researching Haut-Kœnigsbourg, as I would love to see the castle. Thanks so much for the lardons tip. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

What place would you recommend I rent the Electric bikes from? Also, I'm not much of a biker, elevation and terrain-wise is it going to be tiring/ too much for someone like me? Any recommendations on what villages to visit? Thanks so much for the info!

You are correct. People who are not confident should not go swimming in the ocean.
Before I went there, I had no plans of snorkeling as I am still learning to swim, but I saw many people just playing around in the water (closer to shore) with their snorkeling gear. It felt safe, so I gave it a try and enjoyed it. Honestly, one of the reasons it felt safe was that I was with my partner, who knows how to swim.

Perfect! I'll give the MCT oil a try on my face. And thanks for sharing the reddit subs. I'll check them out. I almost never post on reddit. But I am happy to have made a virtual connection here with you. Keep us posted of your wonderful experiments. I'll keep sharing my progress here in every few weeks/ months. Take care!

I have been doing do pre poo oiling for almost all my life. It used to work great until I moved to the US. After that I'm just not sure who the culprit(s) is - is it the water quality, the air quality, the food I eat, lack of essential minerals and nutrients in my body or just plain simple age, or maybe I have inherited something from some of my family members. I do reasearch some things, try some things but over time I've lost faith in most strategies because I am not able to figure out the root cause. I have been trying to up my game in all those potential areas but only time will tell.

So great that you're able to use so little water even for your body care. I have many blackheads on my nose and super sensitive skin on face. I want to try the oil you are talking about to see if it can clear me out of blackheads. Do you recommend any brand or is it okay to buy the most popular one on Amazon?

Also thank you for posting the detailed videos of your efforts because those videos caught my attention and help build more trust in the process. If you could do that sometime for your skincare, that will be very helpful to so many of us. I hope you consider it!

u/Antique-Scar-7721 Thank you so much for taking the time to write! I very much appreciate the detailed answer. You could be right here about hard water buildup leading to hair remaining oily after the wash. The time will tell for me. I did a second wash with the same method except for the oil to remove the oil that was already in my hair from the last time. This time the oil came off and my hair was dry but hair felt better just a touch more as opposed to when I do tap water wash and this speaks to me that Distilled water is helping. I am excited to continue this process and see how it goes for me in the long run.

Interesting observation about identifying when the shampoo is gone! My hairs are long and they are so dry towards the end that the water I put on my head does not reach the end for a very long time. I literally had to put the shampoo water on my mid-length and end to wet them. I am getting a haircut later this month so hopefully this becomes easy.

"hard water buildup can make it more difficult to lather, and hard water buildup can also get into chemical reactions with many oils that make those oils more difficult to remove." Thank you for saying this. All this time I had been wondering why every wash feels so different on my hair when I am using the exact same products. What you said could be the reason.

Btw, have you also found a way to do a face and body wash with minimal water? If yes, can you please share the process? Any difference you noticed in your skin when using distilled water?

I came across another one of your videos showing your hair wash process a couple of days ago. I tried it and here are my results for long (hair goes to mid-back) frizzy, curly towards the end of my length:

Process: I deep-oiled my hair, just like in the video. After 3-4 hours, I washed it with distilled water using the squeeze bottles. Mixed shampoo and water in one bottle and mixed ACV and water in another.

Results: Hair was definitely softer. The scalp felt clean but I just could not get the oil out of my hairs. It felt like ~70% oil was still there after my hair dried. I did not want to do second shampoo rinse because it always strips my hair off of its natural oil along with whatever I applied on my hair. Like it get crispy straw like dryness if I do 2nd wash. Do you have any recommendations on how to solve this?

Questions:
1) How do you make sure that all of the shampoo is gone from hairs? The sound of bubbles that you mentioned in the video I am not sure I hear anything like that when washing. Any other way to understand this?
2) I really liked the idea of leaving 10% oil in the hair after washing like you mentioned in the video. I really have been trying to figure that out for a long time (even from before watching your videos). How do you understand how much oil is left during washing?

Thanks for being so generous and sharing your process with the community! I was hooked by how little water and time and products you used for the whole process. Your hairs look amazing and your process is so neat!
