C sections are no joke. It is much better to TRY to be induced.
I had a c-section with my first due to preeclampsia. I had a VBAC with my second. Water broke and went into labor on my own, but needed pit and was in labor for 31 hours.
I had an appointment the day before my water broke and I was high and closed. I was still high and closed when I went into the hospital. I labored a long time, but pitocin helped me to get to where I needed to be.

I like the ring sling, but I didn't get it until she was just at 2.5 months. There are a couple different ways to place them. You tube videos are good for how to do it. I felt more confident in the ring sling than a wrap.

DS was on flovent year round until this summer. He has been so good for so long that we went off it for the summer. We started back on the Flovent with his first cold this fall when he started coughing. We stayed on the singulair throughout.
It's not a rescue inhaler like albuterol, so it doesn't work right away. You need it taken regularly.
For what it's worth, DS has stuck to his percentile for height.

DS has been on it since he was 2. He hasn't had any side effects that we ca tell.
He had the same issues as your son. Colds that go to his lungs needing strong antibiotics and once steroids. He's been pneumonia free for 2 years and is much much better with colds now. Singular and flo vent are what worked for us.

DD just bit me. Hard. She took a chunk out of my nipple. After I finished crying and wiping up blood, I put some antibiotic ointment on it. I'm planning on pumping that side only until it heals. Anything else I can do?
