Breastfeeding

Hi I'm first time mum, currently 28 weeks pregnant. I'm hoping to breast feed and pump (I understand this is hard but want to give it a try). I am currently a 36H and will no doubt grow when baby gets closer to arriving. Can anyone recommend a good hands free pump for the bigger breasted ladies?

Hi ladies, my baby girl is coming in 2 weeks at 36 weeks gestation. She is a very tiny estimated weight at birth of 4lbs/5lbs and will most likely be in NICU. I know you’re not meant to collect colostrum until week 37 but could I start at week 36, possibly a few days before she’s due? I’m having a c section and I wa...

Please tell me someone else's baby also woke up deciding he can't latch one morning...? I'm hoping he was just over tired but I tried for hours and he just wouldn't latch today. He's been doing well with breast and then the odd expressed bottle but last night my partner did the expressed bottle feed while I went to ...

Hi everyone! My midwife has advised me to start collecting colostrum as of a few days ago and I’m unsure as to how much I should be collecting! I saw everyone saying one or two syringes a time. On my first day I collected 5 syringes and day 4 I collected 12 syringes! Is there any reason I’m able to get so much?

I’m 3 months pp and I still have my milk. Is this normal?

So I’m going out tonight my little ones going to his nans I’ve pumped milk to do him for the night but wondering how long I should wait until I breast feed him the next day should be at my friends for about 9 planning on having a bottle of wine then maybe have some other drinks Im not sure when should be safe to fee...

I’m in a dilemma on which route to go down to feeling my baby when she is born. With my first son I breast fed him for the first 2 weeks of his life before I started to dry up in one breast so I had no choice but to rush out to grab bottles and put him on formula milk. With my little girl I would love to breast fee...

I just woke up with this stain over my nipple area. Do you think it’s my milk coming in ? I am 35 weeks now.

My baby is 3 weeks+2 and I keep seeing posts of milk supply.., Literally feel like I don’t have time or energy to pump along side breastfeeding 😭 does anyone just breastfeed not express milk

And breastfeeding without period?

My baby doesn’t seem to get full and we go through hours of feeding. From looking at others experiences people are at least getting an hour between feeds. Baby will fall asleep at the breast but when I transfer him to the cot he wakes up instantly giving extreme hunger cues. At the same time I can see milk going int...

Hey everyone!! I have a 4 week old that I mainly breast feed and then give a pumped bottle at night for my husband to feed him only if I’ve pumped that day. I sometimes find it difficult to find the time to pump during the day and need to build a stash for when I go back to work. Any advice on when the best time to ...

Baby is only 4 days old however since last night she won't latch. I tried every tip and position I know. My boobs are rock solid and nothing is coming out when I'm trying to pump or hand express. It's becoming unbearable please help 😭 (she is being fed don't panic, I had a backstock of colostrum!!)

My little one is 9 days old and I'm worried I've got mastitis already. My breast is very red on one side and quite painful, I thought it was just engorged but my baby has fed this morning and it's not relieved any of the pain at all. Any tips and when should I get medical help for it? The info online is very mixed!

When weaning do you give milk or food first in the morning ?

Any recommendations for a good electric breast pump x
