Crunchy girls!

What deodorant?? I’ve tried Native, Arm&Hammer, Toms they don’t work and ingredients aren’t ideal. I tried Lume, that was better…but postpartum I feel like I can smell my armpits for the first time in my life and it’s driving me insane. What is actually safe and natural and works?! 😩😩

I use Crystal deodorant. I don’t think the brand matters, the one I have just says Crystal

i like humble

Okay so I’ll have to start trying these!

Lume was okay for me, but I really like Pretty Frank. It doesn’t get rid of the postpartum armpit stink completely, but it’s good enough.

I love this stuff!! Been using it pregnant and postpartum now and it’s still going strong! ❤️

Fatskn Mag deo or any sort of magnesium lotion, BO can be a sign of magnesium deficiency which is all the more likely postpartum as pregnancy and birth can use up a ton of your mineral stores

Avatar

Oh I didn’t know that! And you know what, I was regularly taking magnesium until I had the baby and I ran out and totally forgot about it until you just mentioned it!

Avatar

I use hello! It's the only natural brand that works for me so far!

Avatar

Humble is great!

They have sensitive versions and CBD infused too

Avatar

Try isopropyl alcohol. It'll kill the stench.

So u do smell then after having a baby ur armpits will sweat more to help baby find ur breast I freaked out in the hospital cause I cause smell my armpits and my mom was like nah ur good 😂😂 but I personally use the hello charcoal deodorant and it works wonders as well as being slightly on the cheaper side (the charcoal detox’s ur pores so that as u do sweat ur sweat won’t smell- meaning like use it a day or 2 and if u forget once I’ll be fine cause ur sweat won’t smell 🤷‍♀️ that one I can’t explain) but it’s awesome cause I don’t forget often bite when I do ud never know

Avatar

which one do u use?? If u look below I like the charcoal one lol

Avatar

girl!! Try hello! If it’s not at Walmart or ur big grocery store check CVS less than $10 lasts me at least 2 months!

Avatar

that actually isn’t too bad a price!! How long does it last u?

Avatar

I’ve been using the same stick daily for 4 months now :)

Avatar

mine is currently the fresh citrus one but before that I used the sweet coconut and liked it too. I normally switch my fragrance to match the seasons 😆

Avatar

Humble, Buddha butter, coconut oil are all amazing!

Avatar

I really like HappyBaby deodorant it is clean and EWG verified- and it works!

Avatar

I heard about this but thought with shaving it would burn! Have you had any issues? Or do you dilute it?

Avatar

it sounds crazy but just try it. It works!

Avatar

Have you tried re applying a couple times through the day ? That’s what I have to do with more natural deodorants or make my own

Avatar

So I tried the Hello one now just because I didn’t have time to go to Whole Foods and find better brands, and it’s actually working very well! I guess my body was just not about the Native brand at all lol.

But I’m going to try most of your recommendations as I swap them out !

Avatar

Have you tried tallow deodorant? My MIL recommended it to me! Can also be easily homemade

Avatar

yesssss the charcoal hello deodorant is amazing ngl since having my baby I smell worse and stronger than ever this is the one thing that helps and I don’t have re apply!! It’ll last all day sometimes 2 and once I use it all summer going into fall and winter I don’t need it (usually haven’t tried since I had a baby) but the charcoal kills the bacteria in ur armpits that make ur sweat stink so after so long of using u don’t even need it EVERY DAY I literally put it once ever day or 2 when it’s hot and only if Ik ima be sweating or if I feel like I’m starting to stink again in the colder months

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict “lose all chill at 6pm” policy 😅

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices 😂

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!
