Breastfeeding

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might have more info than me.. I pumped from my breast at 1sm yesterday and it’s 3am the next day in between that time my little one has breast fed multiple times off that boob and I thought give it a rest from pumping… I’ve woken up and it’s rock hard with lumps at the top of it which ...

My baby is turning 1 soon and she’s still going strong with breastfeeding but I’m feeling pressure to wean, plus I miss fun little drinks lol. When/how do I wean?

I had very tender boobs from expressing my milk but yesterday and i noticed i have a small hard ball in my boob and really. Has anyone had anything similar?

Hey mums, I’m feeding my child through expressed breastmilk and I express around 8-10times a day but the supply is constant for months now, it’s not increasing, it was enough for my 3months old child but now he’s 4 and a half and there’s a need to increase his feed amount, what can I do? I have tried drinking variou...

Frantic is the only way I can describe it… little guy is 5 weeks old and early evening from about 5ish onwards all he wants is to feed, I’m talking non stop wood-pecker my face and shoulder if not. He’s really challenging to calm during this period and his breathing gets faster and all he wants to do is be on the bo...

Baby girl is 1 week old today and we are solely breastfeeding. I’ve had one day when my boobs were hard and sore with milk and then since then they seem to have deflated and completely soft. I have been hand expressing too but not much is coming out. Baby is happy and a good weight but just not sure if I am producin...

Period has come back after twelve weeks.. Been combo feeding. Is it normal for your breast milk to decrease

Hey there! My baby is 11 days old and I’m just learning how to BF. I’ve been having a very strong flow past few days and the baby is choking on milk. I’ve tried to lay down to feed but doesn’t seem to do much… how do I fix it to comfortable speed/quantity for the baby. 🥲

My milk came in last night and I’ve had at most 2 hours sleep as little one decided to cluster feed; on the boob for 10-20 minutes every half hour from 11pm Very glad I had a nap at 6pm 🙈 Anyone else had this?

Hi all, we’re going away and the end off June my little girl will be 11months hitting 12 months a week after, I’m stressing out what to do about her milk!? She’s currently on 3 bottles a day still and 3 meals.. do I attempt to try cows milk before us going as she will be nearly reaching 1 or do I take the usual amou...

The first 24 hours were great, she was feeding for an hour at a time between boobs. And then last night something changed and I don’t know what, it’s like she isn’t getting enough milk/colostrum. I was feeding from 10pm to 1am switching boobs and everything she came off and fell asleep she would wake up, crying sear...

My little girl is 7 weeks old and has got a cold for the first time off her cousin. Its affecting her breathing while she's feeding. I'm exhausted because each feed is taking me an hour or two. Have to constantly change her clothes because she spits up the milk all over them because she can't breathe. She's takes 5...

I am so sick of nhs workers discouraging breast feeding I’m already under a lot of pressure to stop with my 12 month old and I’ve just had another say infront of my mother you don’t want to be feeding at the school gates I mean wtf she’s just turned one! Sorry just a rant

How many times a week do you power pump? And after you power pump, you come back to pump as normal? How long are your pumping sessions after power pumping? Thanks xx

I’ve read that in pregnancy you shouldn’t wear underwired bras. Have you started wearing breastfeeding bras or just unwired ones to start stimulating milk supply?

I’m going to a concert today and going to be away from baby for about 12 hours. I’m going to take my pump with me. Do you think I’ll be ok just pumping once half way through the day, I’m not going to be able to take my pump into the arena that’s all. Don’t want it to affect my supply. TIA x
