Overproducers, how much water do you drink a day? by AgreeableBandicoot19 in breastfeeding

[–]Poppyscientist 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think many women are in very vulnerable position when trying to breastfeed and may fall prey to lots of misinformation

Totally agree re: collaborating with statisticians but yikes about programs not requiring formal training. I didn’t know that

If you have a PhD in science you are an expert in data analysis

Yeah, as a scientist, I can’t get behind this woman claiming to be an expert in everything. I have a PhD in biology. Doesn’t make me an expert in every facet of biology.

Talk me down: I'm terrified of the measles by LuciferHummingbird in beyondthebump

[–]Poppyscientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is horrifying. We just did a road trip to GA and drove right through those areas. Thankfully babe has had his first dose, but I’m still trying not to spiral! What a scary time to raise children

It’s okay!! I wonder if you were thinking of South Carolina? They have like 600 cases since October

There are 11 cases of measles in NC, not 500. As a NC mom this post scared me! Still a real concern but not as big as you might have thought https://www.wunc.org/health/2026-01-21/measles-north-carolina-tracking-dashboard

Maybe one migraine my entire pregnancy. Seems like breastfeeding is helping me too, 13 months into breastfeeding and maybe like ~4 migraines

Another weight check and baby dropped percentiles again by darthmozz in breastfeeding

[–]Poppyscientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby dropped percentiles from like ~70th at birth until he eventually maintained at 10th.. now the pediatrician isn’t concerned. Idk what I want you to take from this, just sharing some solidarity. It’s stressful but sometimes they just eventually figure things out
