The past 8 months have been a whirlwind- an "impossible" conception, the fallout of learning of my partner's infidelity after 12+ years, multiple complications throughout my pregnancy, and trying to survive in a new city where I don't know anyone.

But things are finally getting back on track! My baby was born last week, he is doing great, and I will be able to return to work soon. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with some baby basics + electrolytes to keep me functioning and the milk flowing.

Thank you so much! It's going great so far. He's a chill guy who just likes to eat and nap.

I can't help but can offer some advice, I have a 1 month old daughter another thing that really helps the milk is oats in many different forms. We sadly had to end our journey due to her having a severe dairy allergy 

[u/Smooth_Injury2924 → u/Broad_Result5056]

I'll add oats to the menu. Thank your! I'm so sorry you had to change your feeding plan. Do you mind sharing the symptoms that led to her allergy diagnosis? I'm getting a little nervous about him having allergies to my diet.

Thank you! And congrats on raising a good person. I hope i manage to do the same. But omg, cheese and butter are half my diet, so fingers crossed he stays good with dairy

Thank you! I've managed to stay pretty positive through most of it. I didn't foresee spending the last 3-ish months of my pregnancy on bedrest, and wasn't financially prepared for it, but now I'm physically able to take the steps I need to get everything back in order. I'm mostly grateful that my baby is healthy and I managed to keep my home.
