If you’re planning on breastfeeding, it’s important to understand the direct link between your baby’s health and your diet.  Just like during pregnancy, what you consume will be passed on to your baby.  Many new moms are aware of this, but aren’t sure what foods to avoid while they’re breastfeeding.  This article will help you understand what foods could be a risk to your baby.

Without a doubt, 2022 will go down in history as one of the worst years for inflation in modern U.S. history. With the Consumer Price Index above 8% since March, we’re seeing the highest inflation levels in 40 years. Thanks to poor fiscal responsibility and highly questionable energy policies, rampant inflation and supply chain bottlenecks are starting to cripple our future supply of new products introduced into the Boston housing market.

The cost of building materials is increasing by a much larger margin than CPI. The current PPI for New Nonresidential Building Construction is up by 24% over the past year. That triples the price increase for consumer products (CPI). Housing supply in Boston is already at a critical shortage, and now developers are faced with even more fiscal barriers in creating new housing inventory for Boston’s growing population. We could be entering a new age of unprecedented scarcity of new housing options.

1. Boston’s Economy Is Still Growing

The postpartum period can be challenging for new moms. Between the shifts in hormone levels, vaginal bleeding, and the newness of caring for your newborn, it can be overwhelming. Don’t neglect your own health and wellbeing. It’s so important that you prioritize your health as a new mom. Here are 6 postpartum health tips that will get your new journey off on the right foot.
1. Schedule Your Postpartum Checkup

One of your first priorities after giving birth is to schedule your postpartum health checkups with your OB/GYN or other obstetric care provider. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that new moms schedule an initial health assessment within the first 3 weeks of delivery. They also recommend a more comprehensive postpartum followup within the first 12 weeks to assess physical, social, and psychological well-being. During this detailed assessment, you can address any medical concerns that you may be experiencing regarding your own health, sexuality, diet, exercise, emotional well-being, infant care and/or feeding.

Boston’s apartment rental market looks much different this September than it has in recent years. Following a rental season where the city recorded some of the lowest supply figures on record, Boston’s vacancy rate currently sits at .46%, a record low for September. That figure is down -76.65% year-over-year and only marks a +64% increase since last month.

Typically on 9/1 in Boston, the vacancy rate surges as previous tenants vacate their leases. Nearly half of leases for Boston apartments begin on 9/1 due to the unusually large student population. In 2019 and 2020, the monthly-over-month vacancy rates jumped by +298.25% and +329.85% respectively in the first week of September, which was considered normal.

Now in the last two years, Boston’s vacancy rate went up by much lower margins. Last September, the month-over-month vacancy rate jumped by a much smaller +55.97%. In the first week of this month, that month-over-month increase was even smaller at +47.06%. Last year could easily be attributed to the fact that Boston’s rental market was recovering from the rental supply calamity of the pandemic. But this year’s smaller vacancy jump may prove that this trend is here to stay.
