When I asked my daughter’s pediatrician about cow alternative milks I was told they don’t recommend only goat milk since it has less folate and some studies showed it could increase anemia (we have low iron in our family anyway). He said some was fine, but not give it in place of regular whole milk.

I’ve had friends do this. I guess it’s easier to digest. I’m going to try it with my son but he is also still breastfed so it won’t be exclusive.

Thank you! My son recently had his one year physical and we discovered he is iron deficient. It runs in our family as well. I purchased grass fed beef liver capsules. I hope it helps!

Might be a silly question but I’m a working soon-to-be mom, pregnant with our first. My company’s policy is in office, but it’s a pretty casual environment. Looking to see much work maternity clothes I should buy or is reasonable? I’m at 18 weeks and none of my regular pants fit anymore. Any input is appreciated! I’d just like a gauge to see whether I’m going overboard :)

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

Have any of you ladies managed to get over an ex after being hung up on them for years? My ex and I broke up two years ago but I still think about him every day. We live in different countries and he’s now married - I’ve tried multiple therapists, changing cities, traveling loads, throwing myself into work, dating, self help books, you name it. While the pain has become much more bearable, it’s never gone away. Will it ever?

Please no hate about being superstitious or not. I believe in my culture and a lot of these superstitions have meanings. Just can’t understand why certain things like weddings and house warming need to be on certain auspicious days

Hi all! So first, husband and I are both 28. I’ve been pregnant before and had previous child at 23. I was obviously way younger. Didn’t even try to get pregnant back then. Fast forward five years later, want a baby badly. I am 50 pounds more than I was at 23. And my periods are now irregular. I do get them every month which the obgyn thought was a great sign. But I’m still not pregnant. I cant pinpoint ovulation as some months my period is 29-32 days and last month it was 45. Help

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
