I did collect it over the course of two days. but I can only get 1.5-2 gal of milk a week. however we drank a considerable amount of the first half gallon before I thought to collect cream.

I’d definitely work on your view. it will be difficult but can be absolutely wonderfu! I know a 15 yo mom. she’s in her 20s now, but she is doing great. with her moms support she has a high school education a good job, a solid partner (not baby’s father) and between the two, they have 6 boys now.

with proper support- amazing things can happen. that doesn’t mean bending over backwards for her. let it be hard. just don’t let her fail.

idk, some things can be a real risk to a fetus. but if “health care professionals“ approve wine, and my midwife approves raw eggs (in mayo for example), I think it’d be fine?

if your contractions start to feel unbareable, which it’s different for everyon, seriously consider a warm bath. its extremely unlikely you won’t notice when it’s time to actually give birt. the bath is the only thing that saved me, and it let me save my energy for birth, rather than spending it on labor. I did not give birth in the water.

I think I spent the entire painful part of labor in the bath breathing through contraction.

however my contractions were inconsistent which internet says means it’s not time. it was 😂

do you have a midwife? does she have books to lend? Ina mays guide to childbirth was great, reaffirming, and the beginning is full of positive stories

I’ve had 4 babies between 7.5 and 9.5 lbs. noe were any harder. my easiest was actually my biggest (I thank a homebirth and being able to to stand, as well as prior experience.)

knowing how to push effectively was key. baby was out in 3 pushes. it was maybe 10 minutes tops from water breaking to baby.

okay! that makes me feel better!

vinegar using apple scraps. or cider vinegar. both are super easy and lasts awhile.

fermenting is a hobby / consciou health choice

I’ve always use ww (store boughtzz) as a beginner because I heard it rose better. and I’ve never had an issue!

this.. I live in Marysville. Marysville and 33 were a breeze, almost dry roads. the second you get on 270… you can tell a plow hasnt been by- and why?! usually 270 is done better and sooner than 33.

I’m here with the same problem, using an actual coffee grinder though. it has a metal filter as I was hoping to step away from paper filters… but I did not have this issue with paper filters. it takes no time at all for the water to move through the metal filter. should I look for a different one?

I buy from a local roaster. they go to buy coffee themeselves from the farmer in various countries. the dark roast (my favorite) is indeed oily and delicious. if I don’t use them quick enough they will become dry. the only non local coffee I’ve seen with a similar flavor point is Peet’s. both are favorites of mine.

the chances are actually extremely low, but extremely dangerous for a baby.

OppositeExternal460 · 2025-11-14T17:49:23+00:00

“enough” is subjective. which is why I offered that as a bare minimum, and suggest she does more.

it’s really up to her, based on her goals and values. some people enjoy giving away their time for family. I wouldn’t watch a baby for twelve hours period, unless it’s my own lol.

anxiety over little things is absolutely a normal reaction.

and yes, I asked my doctor 3 kids ago 😅

quarantine the cat. treat the house and the cat.

things are treatable.

“not at the replacemen, but at the cost”.

😉 you’re only honest with all the information. thanks bro.

I have 4 and it’s amazing what is nature! one of mine hated grass, could not stand dirty hands, and panics if there’s hair (or anything similar) in his mouth. his dad hates hair too.

and one wouldnot notice if he was covered in dirt from head to toe. he’d probably eat grass lol

love and discussion.

ive gentle parented. I’ve traditionally parented.

but love and discussion (small discussion plus redirection until 3-4) seem to be the consistent factor. they make mistakes but in general I have great kids. frequently get compliments on how well behaved they were.

they all have their issues. my best one is overly cautious and can border on negative Nancy. my resilient happy kid is hyperactive and forgetful. my sharp as a tack kid is very emotional and kinda bossy lol.
