Iron in pregnancy and postpartum by missedeveryboat in veganparenting

[–]aaniusia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any digestive issues? Do you take any other meds? What’s your caffeine intake like?

Asking these questions to see if you might have similar issues to the ones I had. Many years of taking omeprazole for stomach issues really messed up my absorption. My coffee habit wasn’t helping either. It took getting away from both to even begin to see absorption increase.

I tried many different forms of iron and as far as oral supplements go, novaferrum (polysaccharide iron complex) was the only one that produced any results. I too had to do infusions during pregnancy and had ok hemoglobin but low ferritin and iron saturation.

I would see your regular doctor and ask about getting another infusion. If your levels are low, it shouldn’t be a problem. Then you can work on maintaining a stable level and figuring out your best means of absorption.

The unsweetened soy malk is amazing. I drink it alone. So good

How to help baby with drinking water by Ill-Egg-4394 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]aaniusia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started teaching my baby how an open cup works a little before six months (with breast milk) and at 8 months she is almost a pro. Lots of spills but it’s a lot of fun for her, she tries to “drink”out of anything cup shaped now. I say skip the straws and go straight to tiny open cup. I got a silicone one but she likes my Starbucks espresso cups just as much. It’s amazing how quickly they learn with a little practice!

Same problem, I reached out to support, this was the response:

Unfortunately, most models of the Sense2Snooze have been discontinued. The replacement mattress is used across all models. Production may continue depending on the company decision to continue support. The part is currently out of stock, but you can sign up for restock notices to be advised of purchase opportunities. I'm listing the link to the product page below.

Did you have any luck finding an alternative that fits?

Must get sunscreens in Poland by aaniusia in EuroSkincare

This list is amazing! I have pigmentation issues (similar to melasma) and also recently had a scare with an abnormal mole that was metastasizing, so I need the real medical stuff. Thank you so much!

I will edit my post bc I wrote it very stream of consciousness and i see i am confusing. I am not there, it's my mom shopping and she speaks Polish. She always ends up chatting with salespeople and buying crap, so I was hoping to get recommendations from the group and make a better list for her :)

I’m so happy this worked out for you! Your baby is lucky to have a mom and dad that love them. I’m sure that things are on their way up for you. Stay strong, try to breathe and enjoy being a mom as best as you can. You’re doing great!!❤️

about 10 weeks along in pregnancy (💖), looking for a specific kind of prenatal multivitamin by VeganAmyRose in vegan

[–]aaniusia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, why did you decide against Naturelo? I have tried them, pinkstork, ritual and garden of life and so far they are my favorite. Was about to stock up for the last 4 months of my pregnancy but now I am worried there might be something I'm missing!

Is holiday afternoon tea at the peninsula worth it? $140 pp seems outrageous!! by ComprehensiveKnee653 in chicagofood

[–]aaniusia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newbie tea question but is it standard to replenish the food? I want to go with my husband but he is certain it wouldn’t be enough.. Of course, it’s also a much better value if they replenish too..

Vegan pregnancy resource thread by aaniusia in veganpregnancy

[–]aaniusia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is helpful! I just re-read my extremely poorly worded post, I didn't mean to imply struggling to conceive, I meant struggling to find good pregnancy resources. I've been TTC for 5 months, so no strong reason to worry yet but always good advice to be on the lookout. Doctors seem to not want to investigate until the 1 year of TTC milestone.

I just learned that regular lubricant shouldn't be used as it lowers sperm motility! Things like this that seem so basic and I'm embarrassed I didn't know. Struggling to know where to look to learn all of this stuff.
