I went to the pediatrician yesterday and was told my 8 weeks baby girl has not gained weight since her last visit. My baby is 100% breastfed. The pediatrician suggested it has to do with my breastmilk not giving her enough nutrients. No need to say that I was devastated. I exclusively pump then transfer milk to bott...
I’ve been so stressed and I think it’s finally caught up with me. I went from being a little bit of an over producer to a just enougher and since yesterday, my milk supply has drop drastically… I feel like I’ve failed my son. I literally don’t know what to do. He spits up formula worse than when spitting up my brea...
Hey, my little one is 4 weeks old and has struggled with gas pain, reflux etc. I have been breast feeding and feeds have always taken over an hour (which I was told was normal!!). After seeing a lactation consultant they confirmed he is tongue tied. I am unsure whether to go ahead with cutting it - has anyone else h...
Does anyone have a feeding routine for their EBF babies? And how many hours do you have between feeds? I'm wondering if a routine is possible because I'm currently feeding on demand.
Hi! My little one is 7 weeks tomorrow and has been EBF since birth. I'm wanting to build up a stock of milk so my partner can start giving a feed. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on starting a pumping routine. At the moment I only really manage to pump once in a morning. Thank you x
Since my girl has been born she has been slow to gain weight so I breastfeed and offer formula after every feed too. Sometimes she takes only 5ml of the formula, sometimes she has lots! Recently she’s been rejecting the formula completely. We finish on the breast and then when I put the teat in her mouth to offer ...

I’m wondering, if anyone has breast implants and is going to try breast feed? Sounds so silly, but can you even breast feed with implants? I’ve had my boobs done, and wondering if it will make any difference to my milk supply etc?
So I'm exclusively breastfeeding and baby has steadily started to sleep for longer between feeds at night (one night up to 6.5 hours). This naturally causes havoc for my boobs so wanted to hear from other breastfeeding mums about how they've managed this change. Happy to have more uninterrupted sleep but the engorge...
Hi y’all. I currently have a 3 month old who definitely prefers one breast over the other and it’s gotten to the point where my left breast is shriveled and makes probably an ounce of milk a day, while my right breast is 5 times the size it should be and makes all of the milk for my baby for the day. It is almost ...
Help!! My child is 6 months and barely sleeps through the night! I’m to my wits end. Extremely exhausted. Nothing seems to work and I’m to the point where I’m discouraged and burnt out. My son is fully breastfed but I’ve been giving him oatmeal before bedtime to try to fill his stomach. We have a bedtime routine. He...

I used to over produce then my supply tanked
My little boy has just turned four months and last month I got my period back. I noticed last month that I felt like I had a bit less milk than normal but this was nothing major. This month I honestly feel like I have no milk, my little boy is getting so frustrated and is clearly hungry (hitting at the boob, throwin...
My baby is 4.5 months old. I pump once a day (at night) and leave my pump parts in the basin over night and clean and sterilize the next day. Last night I pumped and put the pieces in warm water without soap and just let them soak all night/ day. When I got home, my husband had sterilized everything. However, he inf...
