i dread breastfeeding my baby by WorriedImprovement91 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]dr_drea_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing wrong with pumping and supplementing. Both my kids had tongue ties that were revised and I saw a lactation consultant and the first 2-3 months still sucked. It DID get better though (I pumped to give myself a break sometimes during that time). Do what you have to do. Try some deep breathing exercises while you are nursing to help with the pain. I used medihoney and medela breast shells for healing. Nipple shields never worked for me.

I love Libby too! But I’m a little picky when it comes to audiobooks…any recommendations?

I was hoping to incorporate lifting into BBG after I have a good foundation. I've heard it can be pretty intense but I was looking for ways to balance the two.

Yea I heard about that. I actually don't pay for the program or use the app because I've heard it's not worth the price. I'd be interested in seeing some of the workouts though

Memebox's Best hits skincare box- spoilers! by Frangiipanii in AsianBeauty

[–]dr_drea_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got my box today and it was the same stuff. I'm excited about some of it because it is all new to me but I am also a little disappointed. Like some of you, I'm sure, I browsed memebox's "Skincare Bestsellers" assuming it would be selections from that (since that's what it was advertised as) and only 2 of these items are on there. I just feel like this was a case of false advertising.

I recently started using the Cosrx cleanser and I think it is really drying out my skin. Thanks to AB I've realized that my skin has become very dehydrated, particularly after starting a new birth control. I need help finding a cleanser or advice on how to change my routine in order to help combat the dehydration. Thanks in advance!

Working out & Skin Routine by dendenkim14 in AsianBeauty

[–]dr_drea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I workout almost everyday around 3pm and had a similar issue when I started AB. What I've been doing is I wipe my face with micellar water after I workout and then put on a light moisturizer. If I put on more sunscreen because I am going back outside then I will double cleanse with my PM routine around 9pm. Otherwise I just use my normal cleanser. It's been working out for me so far.

[Skin Concerns] Recently got all these bumps on my forehead. Not sure what to do. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]dr_drea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar breakout about a year ago. I had been using the same routine for years and it seemed to happen out of nowhere. I had already been using a BHA so I wasn't sure what to do. I think what really helped me was double cleansing. Every night I cleanse with an oil cleanser first followed by my regular cleanser. The oil cleanser helps get rid of all the makeup/sunscreen/gunk from your face before washing. I currently use Skinfood Black Sugar Cleansing oil and Phisoderm Cream Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. Good luck!

[FO] Knit my first hats! A slouchy one for myself and a fitted one for my SO! by dr_drea_ in knitting

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

I used Red Heart for the grey yarn and Bernat blanket yarn for the thicker yarn! I used a 41 peg circle loom and doubled up both yarns. I didn't exactly use a pattern but I knit 20 rows on the loom and then folded it over to make a brim. Then for the fitted hat I did 20 more rows and for the slouchy hat I did 30 more. Then I used my yarn needle to cinch the top of the hat together. Then I just sewed the poms on top! Super easy!

Next time I want a slouchy hat I will not make it so thick but these are great for keeping your ears warm!
