What fantastic information. I am so glad now that I didn't have an epi because I really didn't research it enough, just assumed there were no real issues since they are so common.
Yes, these pimples are really common and totally normal. I believe they are caused by normal fluctuations in hormones after birth and will clear up by themselves by 12 weeks.
My daughter had them around 4 weeks and they cleared up in about a week or so but I've heard they can come back. They didn't bother her and I was told it was best to leave them alone since intervening could cause more harm than good.
So nice to meet you. I also had my first baby this year in May. I am finding the time going so fast and although I can;t wait for her to sit I am really enjoying having such a little bub to snuggle.
Thank you again for all your help. I have ordered a Maya padded ringsling and a Moby Wrap so am waiting a little impatiently for them to arrive. I'll update when I've had a chance to try them out
I'm only at the start of my parenting journey but I have found The Continuum Concept to be a great read. I don't think it is all that practical in our modern world but it's given me an idea of some of the things I can do like the in arms phase etc.
I also found Gentle Birth Gentle Mothering a great book which covers pregnancy, birth and babies.
Oh thank you! I really like the look of the Moby Wrap since I have been reading The Continuum Concept and am keen to have her in arms most of the time so I should be able to keep it on.
Can you take baby out of the Moby wrap and keep the wrap on and then pop her back in? Also how easy is it to breastfeed in the wrap?
