Breastfeeding

I have a 22 month old and a 5 month old and whilst grabbing the baby bottle I accidentally grabbed the wrong one so that my youngest had some sips of cow milk instead of her formula. She normally has cow milk based formula. I think she felt a weird taste and didn’t drink much of it, and as soon as I noticed and cha...

Please help , my daughter is almost 2 and I know she shouldn't really be having a baby bottle to have milk in morning and bed . But I have tried ones with straws and she only sipps at it and took over an hour to drink it . So would it be bad to get one of these bottles. Family members are telling me she already be ...

How unfair! I’m having recurring cold sore and besides cover it and apply cream ( doesn’t help at all) I can’t do anything else. I was so sure gp could prescribe me some tablets, but no! I need to deal with it until I’m done BF. I also had a stomach bug, and when I get them I just start to throw up until my bile sh...

As in sucking it from your own nipple

I asked for advice about stopping breastfeeding for when she's around 1 and they suggested I already start cutting out feeds until I'm basically just morning and night and offering snacks/water in place of her other feeds. Is anyone breastfeeding at a similar pace already? Or anyone trying this?

I’d like to be free roaming with it, but that’s my main priority! It’s such a saturated market, I’d love some recommendations 🤪🤣

My baby is a month old and she nurses almost all day and night long. I feel like it's the only thing that calms her down. I'm just wondering if there's such a thing as letting her nurse to often.

I’ve been breastfeeding for 8 months and I plan to do so until my baby is a year old. My right breast has always significantly produced less milk and my left one produces way more. My baby also prefers the left side and always has. My breasts are two different sizes and it’s noticeable. I know I should pump on my ot...

Hi Has anyone experienced cluster feeding at around 15 weeks? My son has fed for over an hour consecutively and I’m concerned as he hasn’t done this since he was a newborn. He is EBF. He has been doing wet and mixed nappies today. He has his 12 week immunisations recently and it’s all gone down hill since! Sleep reg...

I’m struggling to find good bras whilst pregnant (29 weeks) and any nursing bras that will support then but also not have underwire. I’m a 36H and even struggling with M&S and just cannot bring myself to spend £50 on one bra when I will need multiple 😭😭

Do you find that you’re producing more milk on one side? For me my left produces more.

How on earth do you stop breast feeding a bottle refusal baby? I want to move into cows milk and have tried every bottle and cup under the sun, she won’t take it. Been trying for months now - no luck

Is your LO still waking overnight to feed? Mine is, just wondering whether others are managing to get 11/12hrs straight like I see some parents getting 🫠😅

I have been breastfeeding for over 2 years and have always said I would go at my baby’s pace but i am so over it!! She still nurses probably about 10 full times in 24 hours and little comfort nurses in addition to that! I try all sorts of foods and filling meals, started introducing milk, cold chew toys for teething...

Hey all, I am wanting to eliminate bottles for my 1 y.o, Im starting with the morning bottle, I feed her a good breakfast varying with fruits, yogurt, waffles/pancakes, eggs, sausages, etc. I try to do 4oz whole milk in a toddler cup which she drinks from just fine and usually wants more. Would it be fine to just no...

I am on antibiotics for mastitis and having to pump and dump for the next 8 days (saving the milk for baths though) I tried to continue breastfeeding but both myself and my 8 week old nurseling ended up with a rash from the antibiotic they prescribed me. 😭 I feel so depressed not being able to breastfeed anymore,…
