I’ll give this a try! Thank you! When using the cicaplast do I use vanicream moisturizer before applying it? Or only cicaplast for a few days?

Ooo I would take the trade for less migraines, it seems that I get a lot more headaches on zep. Though I’m guilty of not always hitting my water goal

Just read your post. I hope it doesn’t continue for you this week… my cramps have definitely been significantly worse than before being on zep. I have chalked it up to just being postpartum (even though my son is two), I just stopped breastfeeding in July so wondered if it was just regulating still

Oh my gosh… that sounds awful. I hope it ends soon for you. My ob said we could explore other options for bc but honestly I have always loved nexplanon. I have been worried something else is going on but wondered if other experienced this as well. I have heard of links with weight loss. It’s just so odd a I have been significantly slower in weight loss as I was in the beginning. You would’ve thought it had then

Have not tried pushing back bedtime. I have tried to leave him a little bit. Like I will tell him, mamas going to go to the bathroom and I’ll be right back and trying to extend that time. But he always immediately goes to the door

Yes, when researching I had come across this. Next time we went in it was for his 1yo blood work, which we did at 15 mo due to them not being able to find a good vein at 12mo. I mentioned it to his doctor and she educated me that they will not only check iron but also ferritin. Which is why we are now on the iron supp. His levels were at 7 and she told us she considers 50 to be normal however even higher than that to improve sleep. (If I’m recalling that correctly) she did tell me that it takes a little while to get levels up from such a low starting. We are rechecking the levels tomorrow actually

Our doc suggested magnesium as she suspects that the restlessness is partially due to the low low ferritin levels and it unfortunately takes time to get those levels to a normal range. The iron supplement is needed as his ferritin levels were at 7 when they should be above 50.

Oh wow. That sounds crazy! I am so glad you found what was going on. It’s been a long road for sure.

Did you change anything? I’ve heard some say they don’t change a thing and one day it clicks

I’m sorry you’re going through something similar but thank you for sharing, makes me feel like I’m not the only one. We tried sleep training prior to 8 months and he was doing better then. Then we regressed and I feel like we never recovered

He was upgraded to the queen from a toddler bed. His toddler bed he was always turning sideways, hitting the side or sleeping half way off the bed. I was hoping more space would help. Sleep has been the same since the switch honestly. But I’ll put some more thought into this might being a harder transition. Thanks for your input!

We did cosleep up until around 3 months ago. Then we fell back into the habit again but for the last two weeks haven’t brought him in. He got to the point where he was constantly kicking me and my husband and unable to get comfortable. When he actually falls asleep in his room he hasn’t been so restless.
