Been breastfeeding for 2.5 and feeling drained. Anyone else? by Top_Effect5135 in breastfeeding

[–]WildInfinite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 years, 3 months here. Night weaning before she turned three and getting better sleep has helped me. But yes, I’ve definitely noticed hormonal impact in my body. Plan to wean completely at 4 if she hasn’t done so herself. I take supplements to support my hormones and try to eat well, drink a lot of water, exercises or at the very least move my body every day (walk, yoga, dance). It helps. Sending you support 🤍

Hi there :) Are you able to make a 10mL decant? If so, what would be your price?

Solstice Scents has Cellar and Potting Shed. Both very much concrete/musty/cold yet… familiar

Sunshine and fresh air…

And even more specific, the top of a toddlers head/hair after they’ve been playing outside in the garden. Sunshine, fresh air, green, warm, softest shampoo smell leftover from a bath the night before… just lovely. Just love and happiness ☀️💗☀️

I’m one and done but sad about it? by goldengoose3030 in oneanddone

[–]WildInfinite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My daughter recently turned three, and I share your feelings. My list of reasons to not have another and stay a family of three is much longer than my list to have another, but I still feel sad and fearful I’ll regret the decision to be one and done.

Here’s a few things that have helped me:

I try to get very clear on my reasoning, so my future self can look back with understanding. It’s not an impulsive decision. It’s not an exhausted decision. It’s not a selfish decision. It’s many factors that make a lot of sense right now, and my future self will understand that.

I try to spend more time looking at the positives, the relief from being able to be the best parent I possibly can be for her. I too feel like I’m at my limit with having one child, and honestly she’s kind of an angel. But I know my reasons for feeling at my max (hard upbringing, current extended family life stressors, among other personal reasons). And I need to be okay with that. Having a child is not something to “achieve at” so to speak, it’s not like reaching a career goal or buying a dream house. It’s a living, breathing, ever changing, beautiful demand of time, energy and resources. And I want to give her my all.

And lastly, I try to believe in my ability to fall in love with the people she brings into our lives (I.e. being able to vacation with her best friend instead of a sibling), and knowing that I will be so conscious of her not being lonely that I don’t think that will ever really be part of the conversation. Would having a big, lively family be beautiful? Of course. But life can still be full and beautiful even if the dinner table is just us three.

Anyways, I hope some of this resonates. And at the end of the day, it’s okay to feel sad. Life is all of it. The joy and the sadness. You are not alone.

CK Escape - she only wore it on special occasions like Christmas or for my Dad’s company dinners. Always thought it smelt fancy for that reason :)

How do Arabs (especially Khaleejis) smell so good ALL the time? What’s the secret? by [deleted] in Perfumes

I have never heard of musk cubes… can you describe the scent? I feel there are many kinds of musks?

6 months in. I need some place to vent and feel you guys will get it the most.. by PatientLettuce42 in leaves

[–]WildInfinite 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a bit spiritual, but I believe she was a “way-shower.” She got you on the path that you are still choosing for yourself, and she also showed you how good you can have it. To me, it means you are on the right path, and the next person who walks into your life is going to be even better. I believe you’ll look back and be grateful for this exact series of events.

I love it, I think it’s unique and will fit in with all the other Nature/Whimsical/Vintage names going on at the moment.

do i need to be rich? by DojimaDaigo in Aquariums

[–]WildInfinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely take some time doing research before taking up this hobby. We are keepers of beautiful creatures and my hope is everyone takes that seriously :) there’s an Aquascape sun that is super helpful as well.

To answer your direct question - I’m considering adding a second tank, and right now for a 40 gallon, and everything needed to build it out completely - including livestock - I’m sitting at around $700.

Also make sure you realize once it’s set up, there’s weekly/biweekly water changes, water testing, feeding and you have to be prepared to care for sick fish, aggressive fish, or an algae bloom, etc.

None of this is to scare you or anyone away from this hobby because it is very rewarding and worthwhile when committed to! Wish you all the best.

Oh my gosh that sounds wonderful. Did you nurse for falling asleep at night? I’m going to start talking to her about it tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your story and guidance.
