    Trouble maintaing/increasing muscle tone during pregnancy?

    Hi Kate, I was pregnant last summer, my daughter is 9 months. I haven't been on this site in a while but read this and had to respond. I absolutely had a tough time with muscle tone. Pre-preggo I found it very easy to be lean and cut with mostly cycling and light weights and calisthenics. But...

    Manmohini, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this as well. Seems like too many people are, it's awful. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. :-) We're having challenges of our own and I'm thankful that we still have our house. Times sure are tough! Best, Steph

    milk production

    Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem, it's tough! There are lots of natural suggestions here that you should definitely try but I also wanted to mention Fenugreek capsules because they've worked for me and they're quick! I'm back at work and it's helped me keep my supply up...

    Help with healing scars...

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any advice about healing or fading of scars...older ones. I had a c-section but I'm more concerned about a dark scar on my knee that happened at the end of my last trimester. I fell and caught myself on both hands but skinned my knees. One healed fine, you can...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Thanks Manmohini, that's great news. I also did buy the infantino but so far have not been able to adjust the straps properly to load Sienna. I just haven't had the time to fiddle yet. When I do I'll check back in...I saved the packaging, so I consider it a trial for now. Let us know about...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Hey there, I like that she can face out in front (with the trekker). The facing out in back looks scary to me. I can imagine her grabbing stuff she's not supposed too. The carrier is deep so she'll probably be down low in it but I don't think she'd mind as much as long as she's forward...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Hi Linda and Manmohini! Thanks for the posts and info. Linda, I'm sorry that the BabyHawk isn't what you had hoped. That stinks! Thanks for telling us though. I have a friend who's looking for a front carrier. Her son is outgrowing her sling. I sent the info about the baby trekker to her...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Never heard of them before but they look simple, easy and really pretty. Very fashionable! Let us know how you like it when it comes. My first reaction to the photos in the gallery on their site is that the top head support looks high and stiff, not great for short older babies like mine...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Hi Manmohini, good to hear from you! Tamal is huge, 19lbs wow! How long is he now? I do love the Ergo, I think it's helping my posture too. Nice bonus! I have the Moby, but lost the instructions so I need to download them or something. I can't remember how to tie it for the various options. It's...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Okay, so I got the Ergo!! We got it yesterday and it's awesome. I can't face her forward but she still seems to like it and it's great for sleeping. I love the sleep hood, it's awesome. It pulls out of the front pouch to support their heads while they sleep...and keeps the bugs away at night. We...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Hi guys, thanks for all of your responses! It's so helpful!! I read some great reviews that compared the Jeep carrier to the Bjorn active and many said it was better even though it's so much less expensive -- people who had the active and tried the Jeep. So...I went and got one for $40 and...

    Front carrier for mom's with bad backs?

    Hi, I've been using the original baby bjorn, a friend gave it to me after her son used it. My daughter was too small at first but we've been using it since she was about 3 months old and she LOVES it! And I LOVE having her hang out in front of me grasping my fingers while I sing to her and...

    Post partum check-in 3.23

    Oh Manmohini, I am so sorry to hear that you're going through this with Tamal. What you've described in the past sounded exhausting. I'm sure you've had your fill of advice and are at your wits end. I'll keep you in my thoughts and send some good sleep vibes your way. I don't have any advice...

    Hi Everyone, Long time no talk, how is everyone doing?? I wanted to start a new thread but wasn't sure if you guys were on the boards these days or not. We've had lots going on...illnesses (colds, laryngitis, etc...all of us), birthday parties and transitioning to daycare. So I'm just...

    Exhausted and Frustrated

    Annette, So sorry to hear that you're going through this, it sounds awful and totally exhausting!!! One thing I noticed on my inch loss was that when I got sick last week or so and decided to stop working out and took naps and got extra sleep I actually began to get compliments that I looked...

    post-partum inches vs weight loss question

    That's good to know, 1 inch = 1 pound. I started eating cleaner about 4 weeks ago and it has really helped. Though Easter and a slew of birthdays have gotten me slightly off that path on occasion. But I'm getting back on track and have been pretty good at sticking to it, we'll see...gotta...

    post-partum inches vs weight loss question

    Thanks you're right...I am happy for ANY loss and I'm not usually focused on my weight as a number at all, I'm all about my clothes fitting properly and just feeling good about myself. And I DO feel so much better about myself. :-) I'm just trying to understand what's going on with my body...
