My baby is teething and he is drooling a lot. That is causing him to have some rashes around his mouth - little bumps and also a bigger red patch where he tends to have his hand in contact with as he sucks his fingers. Will it help if I smear some breastmilk on the rashes? Any other advice on home remedies that might help? Thanks!

I use nipple cream for drool rash! Works like a charm!

What are your thoughts on sleep training?

I didn't do much. The day when my lo wean herself from breastfeeding, it is also the Day she sleep through. She weaned at 2.5years old.

Hi all, I just started my boy on solids 4 days ago. He is 6months and 1 week old and breastfed on demand, taking solids baby led weaning style. I offer him some water along with his solids and so far we have tried broccoli and carrot. Should I be worried if he still hasn't pooped since he started solids?

Breastfed babies digest better and I would not be worried if she has not pooed yet. It's the change in diet that may have altered her pooing schedule. You might want to check for signs of constipation though- like straining, blood in stool, and pellet like stools.

Hi all, breastfeeding mama to a 6mo here. I have been taking calcium and DHA from my gynae and they're running out soon. I'm thinking of getting some in my own. Bought some nordic natural postnatal DHA from iherb, but unsure of which calcium supplement to get. Any recommendation? TIA!

Usana active calcium and biomega is pretty good too

Hi all, I've been DLing my boy and he's coming to 6 months. I'm wondering if it's possible for us to skip bottles altogether and go straight for sippy cups. Is that possible for a 6mo? If so, which sippy cup would you recommend? TIA! :)

Yes you can. That's exactly what I did with my first-born. My kid loved the Oxo Tot Sippy cup - I'm pretty sure redmart.com has it.

Hello to all! I had blocked ducts a month ago and started on lecithin (3 times a day, 1200mg each). May I know if I can cut down on the lecithin one month into taking without recurring blocked ducts? If so, what will the recommended dosage be? Thank you! :)

I've been taking the same dosage as you do but had mastitis 2 weeks back so I doubled the dosage right now. So now I'm just monitoring to see if I have a recurrence before I slowly lower the dosage again.

Hi all, I'm a fully DL mum and my hubby helps with bottle feeding once a week. I'm now doing some research in prep for introducing solids. We're now using the medela calma teats for bottle feeding. Will it be ok if we gave him water with the same bottle when we start solids? TIA!

I think it's totally fine!

Hi all, I have a four-month old boy who is currently having trouble sleeping in his cot. I'm aware of the dangers of co-sleeping and would like for him to transition smoothly to sleeping in his own bed. So far we tried white noise and pitch dark room and it worked for a while. Also because I latch on demand, and for my own sanity I lay down and feed him in the middle of the night while I try to get some sleep. Could that also be another factor that's making it difficult for him to sleep in his own cot? For now it seems like co-sleeping is our best bet because we get the most amount of rest out of it, but baby us growing bigger and we're squeezing in a queen sized bed. Hubby and I are both having aches in the morning from being confined to very limited space. Any advice?

Will suggest to sleep train as co-sleep is really tough on us parents. I co-sleep for 8 months, really affecting my sanity. Especially back to work. So now we are trying to train him, still trying but once he sleep, we put him into cot.
