Really looking for some advice ! I had EBF for the first 8-9 weeks then started introducing expressed milk in a bottle for a couple feeds a day. We have got to the point now where almost all day feeds are expressed milk and I breastfeed if LO wakes through the night. She is now 13 weeks. Problem I’m having is dur...
Has anyone had any breast milk jewellery made? Either getting a company to make it for you or using a DIY kit? I’d love to get something made and would love some recommendations on where to buy from and to see some pictures of what you have had made up!
She keeps getting more fussy when I try to give her the bottle. It's just after midnight. I've tried burping her and rubbing her tummy for gas. I don't know what to do. She's seems to be queuing for food but not taking it. She even screams sometimes. This is new behavior, she's 9 weeks.
My baby is exclusively breastfed. Really worried that all she ever wants are my breasts as she refuses bottle and dummy. Anyone had success in introducing these to your babies?

I’m 4.5 months pp & exclusively pump. For the first 2ish months, I had a large oversupply but once 3 months hit, my supply took a dip and I’m getting about half of what I used to get. That’s been defeating for me but also lately I’m having a hard time finding the time to be able to pump more than 4-5x per day. Shoul...

Anyone else have lopsided breasts and a hard time evening out supply?? I was producing really well on both sides for the first month but then baby stared preferring my right side and now I’m having such a hard time upping the supply on my left side. Switching him to always eating on the left side first was working g...
I am currently breastfeeding, although not exclusively, my red boob feels tender and I feel that there's a lump hardish on one side, but the rest of the boob is soft. I followed the advice to put ice pack on it and drink ibuprofen as it may be due to a swelling of the ducts but I haven't had any relief from it. Di...
I want to start feeding my 5 week old some breastmilk through a bottle just so I can have some longer breaks and my husband can get involved in feeds but I'm really nervous she may start rejecting my breast when we start. Has anyone done this successfully? Do you have any tips?
