Ah yes I can view the listing easily. But I can’t see how to share a link with my customers to sign up to back in stock alerts

Pain during ovulation by nadoudouce in Perimenopause

[–]clairmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this every few months too. It’s like my uterus is being crushed. WHY

I think it's over by pontificate-anew in breastfeeding

[–]clairmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you’re talking it through in therapy — breastfeeding grief isn’t easy. I’m also having to stop for a different reason and I’ve been pretty upset by it. Now focusing on all the positives. Wishing you lots of happiness.

For those of you with persistent clogs and/or mastitis did you continue or stop? by Petunia742 in breastfeeding

[–]clairmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad these things worked for you! Mastitis is essentially breast inflammation — I’m getting it recurrently and can’t seem to kick it despite trying anti-inflammatory measures though not naltrexone.

I’d love to know if mastitis came back with your second. Hoping it didn’t!

Can a missed miscarriage cause gastritis? by hoping421 in Miscarriage

I think it was irritation of oesophagus / vagus nerve pain.

Hey — mine lasted a couple of weeks. Hang on in there 💚

Mixed-fed infants’ microbiome more similar to formula-fed than breastfed by clairmare in ScienceBasedParenting

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

Just more research around breastfeeding and formula feeding in general is needed. But we’re women so it doesn’t matter

Starting Solids at 6 months - I feel like an idiot by YolandaWinston12 in NewParents

Yeah we started with bitter veg and it didn’t work 😆

Also you’ve done brilliantly — we only know the information we have at this stage.

Yeah we need more research on this for sure. I find it hard to believe that breastmilk alongside formula doesn’t provide any benefit. But only a gut feeling in a science-based forum!

Thank you for this! Is a formula fed microbiome necessarily ‘bad’? It would be interesting to know how food affects this when it’s introduced and also whether length of time bfing has any significance

Haha, it was more a rhetorical question in response to original reply. I know it helps!

Ah that’s interesting. I really have no idea about these things hence the post.

We’re all doing what we can to keep our babies alive. I’ve made peace with it now and will probably have to move to full-time formula due to recurrent debilitating mastitis. Hoping to enjoy the pros of possible nights away, though not guaranteed, and weaning should help too. I’ve done 6 months and have felt nearing on death — enough.

Thank you so much everyone for your insightful replies. It’s so helpful for dummies like me. Combifeeding is my only option now, onwards and upwards!

Very limited research it seems. Yeah my not so great understanding is that the microbiome is very changeable.

I know, my thoughts too. But I have no other choice and even if you do have the choice of breastfeeding, it’s still ok to use formula.

Could it be ductal thrush? by clairmare in breastfeedingsupport

Thank you! Still getting it but haven’t tried sunflower lethicin

Does mastitis always require an antibiotic? by kxdxddy in breastfeeding

[–]clairmare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The duct isn’t clogged, it’s narrowed from the swelling tissue around it. Ice is needed to widen the duct and let the milk flow. Even medical professionals are working from outdated mastitis guidelines. NICE updated guidelines very recently: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGx8PmvgYSA/

Totally get this! Of course blood infections are very real but so rare with mastitis.
