Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is red, inflamed, and dry skin. Parents usually notice dry patches of skin that become irritated, itchy, and red. Eczema affects 10-20% of children and is the most common skin condition in children. Atopic dermatitis is especially troublesome during dry and cold weather. via Kidcrew Medical #kids #health https://moka.li/3ppCBJ2

Potty training can be a stressful time for kids and their parents. They worry about accidents. We worry about accidents. We debate keeping the child in pull-up diapers or whether we should switch to underwear. What if there was a third option?... There is! If your child wants to be in big-kin underwear, but you are worried about leaks, add a small panty-liner (or cut one to the right size) and place it inside their underwear. Fewer leaks. Less stress.

I pumped. For YEARS. I hated it. I kind of have PTSD from the sound of the pump to be honest. A lot of people think I had excessive milk, and that it was easy for me to pump.... I wish. For my first kid, I had far too little milk, and he wouldnt take A DROP of pumped milk. Not a drop. But I had to pump to maintain my supply. I donated what I pumped. With my next three kids I was an exact-producer. I could pump pretty much what they needed, but not more. But I loved how I felt when I donated milk with my first, so I wanted to donate. Once they were sleeping from 7pm till the morning, I continued to pump at 10pm. I accumulated quite a bit after pumping for months, and was thrilled to donate to the Ontario Milk Bank. But this mom, WOW. This is an incredible woman! Good for you @thevargassusters! Much respect! (photo cred: @thevargassisters) See more

Harder than medical school and residency and sleepless nights and building a business. The most emotionally draining and isolating and lonely of my life. If you have struggled with breast feeding or are struggling - I feel your pain. You are not alone. See more
