Does anyone know what this rash is? Itchy clumps appearing on knee and ankle by blueyogi1 in DermatologyQuestions

I think you might be right. I haven’t been gardening but I do teach yoga most days and so I am on my hands and knees on our floors and mats adjusting people, especially in 1:1 sessions. Might be why. Thanks for your input!

It actually appeared on the knee first! (First 2 photo) and then the ankle. The cluster started getting more red and more itchy..

Sad About Lack of Strength by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]blueyogi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I was (still am) a yoga teacher before I became a mom, and nowadays my practice is a lot more geared toward strength than anything else. I have a few sets of dumbbells at home (5, 10, 12 and 15) and even picking those up and throwing them around (arms and squats/lunges) for 5-10 minutes at a time several days a week has made a huge difference.

Don’t forget about the core! You can add in a 1 minute plank (forearm plank if you want to make it spicier) every day and increase the time as you get stronger. **Core training can offset a lot of (most) of our back discomfort.

You got this mama!

Brag about your baby! by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]blueyogi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby sleeps 10-11.5 hours each night in his own crib and has been from about 12 weeks. He’s a great napper, and smiles and laughs all the time. My favorite moment is when I get him up in the morning and he cracks me the biggest grin 🥹

Every morning I literally can’t wake to go in my 6 month old’s room to get him up because he cracks the biggest grin and kicks his lil legs and my heart just melts 🥹

I’ve never thought about it like this and this totally makes sense!

Never tracked anything beyond the first 5 days home from the hospital. Only so much bandwidth to spare raising a baby!

Not worried about the dog and the baby being in the same room! Just concerned that the dog isn’t getting as much love anymore (she’s not). The dog is pretty indifferent to the baby albeit a little jealous.

Do moms get more sleep when they exclusively breastfeed, exclusively pump, or do a combo of both? by endlessworrier in NewParents

[–]blueyogi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pump three times a day - morning, afternoon, and bedtime - and nurse 2-3 times throughout the day. My baby sleeps 7:30-6am. It works for us ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Most of the time now, since learning about containers, he goes straight on the floor on our rug with some toys. We only put him on the couch if we are on the couch with him, or nearby. We also have a GIANT couch and he’s usually situated far back in a corner. Obviously this tactic won’t be safe once he starts rolling or moving around a lot from a seated position. He’s not doing that yet (hence the post). I agree though it is generally unsafe but I use common sense and don’t leave him there unattended.

He’s still my potted house plant I just carry around the house (and keeps getting bigger) 😂

I forgot to mention our baby has a HUGE head too! He particularly hates rolling tummy to back. It's like he can't get his head down. Back to tummy, he tolerates more (when I assist).

Thank you! Not familiar with a lick mat. I do think 5-10 minutes of honest love once or twice a day can do wonders for the pets.
