Here's my thoughts on why town is challenging atm.🧵

[Maja Purcell @ovcica]

@JenaFriedman Talking about it with my childless friends only freaked them out. For mothers who couldn't breastfeed, it's a painful and personal topic, and better avoided. Your best bet is finding other breastfeeding moms in a local support group or online. Getting an LC was lifesaving.

@WyzeCam No, and customer support has been utterly useless. Not even replying to me anymore

[Maja Purcell @ovcica]

@WyzeCam I've been unable to login to my account or create a new account for two weeks, meaning I can't use any of my wyze devices at all. Your support team has me spinning in circles. Could you please help me escalate ticket 2352179 to someone who will actually help? Thanks

@chrissyteigen I'm so sorry, that's incredibly toxic. Screw em

[Maja Purcell @ovcica]

@MikeDeeeeeee @EMA_News @EU_Health Thanks for that, it seems I somehow completely missed that while trying to detox from the news at some point 😅

@hillarycbush @Emily_Baum @nytimes You're forgetting the public health impact of not having @CarHelmets 🙄

@ares982 @EMA_News 👆👆have you forgotten about the lil ones? It's been approved in the US since June. What's the hold up?

@AerLingus is it possible to check in online if traveling with infant (<2)? We want to avoid crazy queues from Dublin Airport if possible.

@HSELive FDA just approved the Moderna vaccine for under 5s. When will Ireland follow suit?

@schlthss Still too much potential for a car parking on the pavement. Needs some plant pots!

I want to say a little more about this piece, and how I’ve been thinking about my work and journalistic responsibilities over the last 6 months. 1/

@LizHighleyman @schmangee Have you looked into how things are going in Spain? Most people here wear FFP2 (including kids!) which are available everywhere and very cheap. Judging by the case counts, Spain is doing way better than the parts of Europe where the mask mandates have already been dropped.

Woke up to daughter's text-Good morning I was not shot on the subway.
Deeply disturbed ppl can get a gun but I'm in a national registry for purchasing Sudafed.

@EmmaBostian Surprisingly, taking baby for a walk, which works for most, never worked us until she was older. She'd get too overwhelmed and sometimes just throw up. Do as much skin to skin as you can - it calms them down. Hang in there!

[Maja Purcell @ovcica]

@EmmaBostian I'm no expert (only have one baby), but it sounds like you're experiencing witching hour. It happened to us when the baby got overtired but mostly over stimulated. Our pedi said - make your apartment a spa in the afternoon - dim lights, quiet, relaxing music, no TV.
