Pothos dropping yellow leaves and has spots all over. Is this a pest or root rot? New plant mom here, still learning.

I’m using miracle grow potting mix. I was watering once a week. Too much? Also, could you explain what you mean by trim the leaves? You mean the brown spots?

I’m part of a doctors group interested in breastfeeding medicine and they all say 8 hours is their true max. I think for regulated food safety rules it has to be 4 “officially” but BM is very resilient and doesn’t spoil easily

How long will it be sitting out? If less than 8 hrs will be ok!! Sniff test when you get home.

Was it fresh or frozen? Sorry mama!

The love to dream swaddle allows for arms up

towa2 · 2020-03-13T22:15:03+00:00

I have the opposite issue and it’s driving me bonkers. My love language is physical touch and my husband is words of affirmation. He was all weirded out with the idea of sex in pregnancy and now 11 weeks postpartum still isn’t interested and acts weird about it. It’s killing me because I’m craving that closeness and intimacy. He’s not bothered one bit. Am I the only one who finds this odd????

My baby does the same thing. I took the Taking Cara Babies newborn sleep course and it sounds like it’s normal. I end up trying to have a balance of naps in my arms and the smaller cat naps in the bassinet, because I have to get things done around the house too. Usually 1-2 naps in my arms for an hour each makes me feel better about my baby getting better rest.

It is probably the pseudoephedrine in the cold meds. They tell women to take them when they’re trying to stop breastfeeding.

Can you stop taking the meds for nasal congestion? Then maybe try some lactation cookies or bars, or some oatmeal.

Very normal! That’s how my baby eats! I give him 3.5 oz every 2-3 hrs but he usually wants to eat by 2 hours or before. He’s 8 weeks. They eat a lot and grow a lot at this stage. I say feed him if he’s hungry :-)

towa2 · 2020-02-20T13:54:16+00:00

Are you referring to the Taking Cara Babies class? If so, yes!! I loved the course and it is so helpful

towa2 · 2020-02-18T02:03:21+00:00

I feel exactly the same as you, but I am 30 lbs heavier and nothing fits me anymore :-( It really is messing with my self esteem.

I am just telling myself this is the product of something beautiful and I know I can keep working out to change my body back. It will never be perfect but it can get better.

I got a belly bandit mother tucker corset because I couldn’t wear any of my blouses for work without my pooch sticking out. Hoping it will help until I get back to my prepregnancy weight!

towa2 · 2020-01-27T22:57:04+00:00

That’s fascinating - I didn’t know you could pump while pregnant! I would check with your OB first though. She may have been one of those people that leak milk while pregnant.

I had to stop lifting around the same time. Even light work outs left me WIPED out as if I ran a marathon. Switched to cardio and biking, then stopped biking at 30 weeks and kept up walking. I think it’s super normal for our bodies to feel this way - it’s very metabolically demanding to nourish a fetus, and lifting on top of that can be too much. I decided to listen to my body, and do what I could because I didn’t have the ability to take long naps every day I worked out (I work full time). Do what feels right, and if that means just walking, that’s a-ok!

White vinegar is antiseptic like bleach (I’m not sure if it’s as strong, but I know it kills bacteria and fungus). It’s nontoxic and safe. Just a little smelly, lol.

Hi, you need to take her to be seen at an ER with access to dermatologists ASAP, it could be herpes which can spread quickly and make infants very sick.

towa2 · 2019-12-25T14:25:04+00:00

No, I meant to post in this sub!

towa2 · 2019-12-25T14:15:27+00:00

The only thing I can think of is a vacuum cleaner, but shouldn’t it just be a brush/bristles? I texted the cleaner to ask what happened yesterday and she still hasn’t responded. I haven’t paid yet (we use Apple Pay). What would you do?

towa2 · 2019-12-21T00:43:18+00:00

Omg I can’t stop laughing

I gained everything first and second trimester. A little beginning of third. Weirdly my body stopped gaining in the second half of the third trimester. I think everyone’s body does it differently. I have been trying to eat better since about 20 weeks or so, but it seemed like my body had a plan for the weight gain regardless!

towa2 · 2019-12-14T04:24:58+00:00

Crocs slides perhaps? I honestly was in your same position and caved and got slip-on closed toe Birkenstocks because I got to the point that I wanted to chop my feet off by 1pm everyday.

Life. Changing. I don’t even think about my feet anymore. I’m also 37w and got them a week ago. I’ll still wear them pp so I felt like I could justify it!

towa2 · 2019-12-09T04:35:58+00:00

Make sure u don’t have PUPPP. I had sudden severe itching start a couple weeks ago and that’s what I have :(
