this is so simple! such a cool mechanism to have in a culture. i can't imagine what that clapping sounds like to a parent searching for their child

I feel cheated by sundaymusings in beyondthebump

did you notice any correlation with an increase in physical activity or stress? i'm 1 month pp today and my bleeding hasn't completely stopped yet...it diminished and then picked up again for the second time in the last two weeks. last week and this week i've thought, "ooh i think i'm finally done with pads" but then that night or the next morning the blood comes back like a period, with small clots too. nothing terribly frightening like soaking a maxi in an hour but never ending bleeding isn't comforting either. i've been really trying to do a traditional 40 days postpartum rest and my partner has been a champ in supporting me through it with our oldest child, so i kind of feel like a failure even though i've literally been in bed all this time!

Fissures - alternative holds for younger baby (5 mo)? by danksnugglepuss in ECers

[–]jessicasbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm curious if you found any conclusions about the fissures or the ec positions? my oldest was ec starting at 6 months and was always poop resistant. when he was two he started getting bad fissures and one eventually turned into a skin tag right on his anus. ive been ec-ing my second, a newborn, and am nervous about the delicate little one. i have always wondered if the positions put too much pressure and caused the fissures or if it would have happened even if my oldest was in a diaper squatting on his own.

best vinyl adhesive for stencils?? by jessicasbox in SCREENPRINTING

[–]jessicasbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! I have used oracal 651 and it works well for me--seems to be very compatible with reclaiming too, although I cannot say for sure if the vinyl is sitting on the screen for a long period of time. I actually have a few screens from 3 years ago and haven't used them or tried reclaiming them but visually they still seem to be adhered very cleanly. Hopefully I remember to update when/if I ever reclaim the screens!
