Any advice. What’s your best tip?
Mine is for breastfeeding mothers. If you find you’re not making enough milk, go to the health food store and buy a bottle of fenugreek capsules and take 2-3 pills 3 times a day. This is so effective that I have never needed to take them past 24 hours.
For menstrual cramps, orgasms work wonders. I’m not sure how many women know this, but I think more women should.
Seriously? I have cramps right now. No SO though.
But I DO have lots of batteries. Heh.
Yep, way better than Midol in my book.
I think more men should too… 
Never turn the music down so the baby can sleep (unless you’re blasting it at ear-drum-popping levels…). Get the little darlin’s used to loud noises - that way you don’t have to whisper and tiptoe around the house at naptime.
If you’re prone to acne and have sensitive skin, don’t use harsh benzoyl peroxide products. Twice a day wash your face with a very gentle cleanser (like Neutrogena Foaming Face Wash) and wipe a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide over your face. Twice a week use baking soda to gently exfoliate.
I wish I knew this sooner. I’ve been doing this for 5 months and my skin has never been better.

or should that be: Here! Here!?!
dang cramp cure doesn’t work for me - okay, it stops them temporarily, but then they come back within a few minutes, and they’re WORSE.
:mad:
Advice:
When it comes to raising your kids, trust your gut. Your instincts are there for a reason and are worth listening to.
(fenugreek is great, isn’t it? That and keeping hydrated…)
Morgainelf, where were you 15 years ago?!! I ended up curing my acne with age.
hedraI LOVE fenugreek! I dry-up from stress sometimes and fenugreek brings the milk back to gushing.
Oh no! Sorry, hedra! It always works for me–in no way did I intend to make your cramps worse. 
Sorry again.
hey, not your fault - and I learned that lesson many many years ago (from a boyfriend, BTW). Periodically I try again, just to see… and nothing has changed. Bummer-du.
Leifsmama, I wish mine was cured with age! Granted it’s much better now than it was 15 years ago (I’m 34) but I still break out from time to time and my skin was ALWAYS red. Now I don’t even need to wear foundation.
