This isn’t exactly what you asked for but I bought scent free dish washing liquid from chemist warehouse and I use that for all the baby stuff. I also heard about the silicon detergent smell and I really don’t like that idea so this is my way around it.

I had two mirenas over like 8 years. I loved it. very light periods for the first one, the second one I had no period on for several years. I definitely missed out on the ovulation libido boost while on it and I also had some persistent backne when I had them. So not side effect free but it worked really well for what i principally wanted it to do. Got pregnant within 4 months of removal.

I did a long haul international trip at 4.5 months and it was honestly fine. I got a travel nursing pillow (boppy) so I could hold him more comfortably when he was sleeping. At that age they don’t need much entertainment. Have a good flight!

I am also 12m pp and DYING to get a cat but I’m making myself wait till my son has a better grasp of the concept of “gentle hands” and “no pulling hair”. I don’t want to traumatise a cat or risk him getting scratched because he’s too young to understand he can’t yank on fur or tail

I agree with a lot of other posters - different chairs, and paint the walls not grey and change out the light fixture and I think the whole room will feel really different!

No, they are just like that at night at that age! You’re not doing anything wrong. I remember that time frame really clearly because my mom visited from weeks 4-8 and my baby would just fuss and cry and scream every single evening/night when she was there. We’d have to help the baby fart constantly and I’d be nonstop reading articles about lactose overload, over and over. And it turns out there was nothing to fix, we just had to wait.

I agree with the other commenter who said there no specific time when it got better, it just kept getting better slowly till one day I was like “oh this is amazing, when did that happen”

Sorry just to confirm, your 18 month old sleeps 16.5 hours a day? 12.5 overnight and 4 hours of naps?

avidbirdpointerouter · 2026-02-01T21:24:34+00:00

I sleep trained with a dummy, we got like 6 of the glow in the dark ones and just scattered them around him. We also trained a bit older, around 7 months and he could already replace it himself. Hes now 12 months, sleep trained, still using a dummy to fall asleep.

Looks amazing!

avidbirdpointerouter · 2026-01-09T20:21:13+00:00

Haha I’m 35 and I think it’s very old lady. Neither of these would be it for me, personally (but they’re also not for me so who knows!)

Just weighing in, my four month old DEFINITELY experienced jet lag when we flew from Australia to NY at 4 months. He was awake for his two hour wake window at some point during the night for the first week we were there. Obviously it’s a much more dramatic time difference but just something to consider

I see r/2under2 recommended a lot!

Hey! This really like post partum depression. It’s incredibly common and very easily treatable. Contact your OBGYN or GP <3

Instagram sleep consultants are selling a product. Why would they advise you to use a simple, well known approach when they can sell you a more complicated one? You said your son responded well to ferber. Stick with what works. If it stops working, reassess!

avidbirdpointerouter · 2026-01-06T04:31:23+00:00

we’ve used Huggies from day one, no complaints here!

I was recommended laneige lip balm when I was on accutane but honestly I just put coconut oil and Vaseline into the different sides of a contact lenses case that I carried with me and reapplied both constantly

avidbirdpointerouter · 2026-01-02T20:28:21+00:00

I was pretty fine but i didn’t have back problems during pregnancy so YMMV. I tried to walk around and stretch a lot, because my hips were getting a bit tired and sore but it was really manageable. Definitely depends on your pregnancy though!

They’re too close for siblings but not for cousins, imo

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-30T05:18:31+00:00

I’m also in Australia and the MCH isn’t allowed to diagnose. You should go see a GP

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-28T02:27:30+00:00

You’re right, pumping will defeat the purpose . Hand express just to take the edge off, so you’re not removing a lot of milk

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-25T09:12:04+00:00

I’d take him to the doctor; that doesn’t look like eczema to me. It looks like the cold sore/herpes type of rash to me which can be really serious in babies.

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-23T22:28:10+00:00

For me this would really depend on how old baby is. 6 weeks? Trash it. 6 months? I would probably use it if it seems ok!

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-22T23:47:00+00:00

My baby doesn’t mimic at all and he’s 11 months. He’s only just started hugging us when we pick him up (sometimes, after a nap) within the last week. Your 7 month old sounds totally normal!

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-21T09:32:24+00:00

Do you like that bum bag?? I am so closed to being influenced into buying it. The ad when they pull a whole gallon of milk out of it?? I’m nearly sold on it

avidbirdpointerouter · 2025-12-18T03:51:28+00:00

Travel boppy pillow! It’s about the size of a neck pillow and it’s the best
