I have a breastfed baby that isn’t liking bottles…

I pump out milk as well, and obviously wanna give her the pumped out as well.. but she seems to not like the dr brown bottle nipples, she fusses and cries on it, and prefers my breast, what other bottles can I give a try???

Breastfeeding

I’m genuinely struggling with how much my daughter bites my nipples. Is there any way to stop it or make it easier? I remove her and give it ten minutes, then try again but unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

Lump in breast

I’m 8 weeks pp, 3rd baby but 1st time exclusively breast feeding 🥳 I noticed a hard lump on the inner right breast just over 2 weeks ago, not painful or red or anything else, anyone else had this and any idea what it is?

Finishing feeds

Is anyone else’s baby struggling to finish full bottles? (19 weeks) I know part of it is distraction but even when I take that away she’s fighting it. I almost have to rock her so she’s basically dream feeding.. at night it’s fine, but during the day it’s become such a battle

Rage.?

Does anyone else get a random urge of rage or irritation from when your pumping or breastfeeding? It can’t just be me lol it doesn’t hurt but whenever I do I instantly get irritated lmao which idk why I’m very happy that I can do it lol but I also really hate my boobs being touched even before having kids I hated it lol. Idk

Body coach

Has anyone done Joe wicks body coach plan? I’m 8 months pp with my second and breastfeeding and not sure whether to give it a go. I’m worried about the time to prep the meals and then making different meals for my kids etc.

Ounces

About how many ounces are you all feeding your 7 week old babies? She’s on breast milk and I’m pumping / bottle feeding

Breastfeeding Weight Gain

My baby is exclusively breastfed and was born 25th centile and then rapidly went up to 75th centile in 3 weeks and was tracking 75th centile. He is 12 weeks on Monday and I weighed him at home (weighed myself, then me holding him and subtract), I know it’s not gonna be fully accurate but give or take, he is now on 97% centile.
I kept hearing ‘you can’t overfeed a breastfed baby’ but now i’m worried. Everyone is commenting on his weight. Anyone else experience such rapid weight gain? Did you do anything about it?

Frequent feeding

Any breastfed baby still feeds quite regularly in the daytime? I know it has been so hot lately so feeding every hour and half might be good for hydration, also I don't know if it's just because she comes close to my chest and then just roots for milk.

Bras

How often did you size up in bras during pregnancy? I sized up at the beginning which was about 3 months ago but now I feel like I need to size up again😅 is it worth getting maternity bras again or when should I start buying breastfeeding bras ?
