Not sure if anyone has experienced similar or has any advice - I’m exclusively breastfeeding my daughter who is 6 weeks now and we’ve never had any problems with latching etc. Recently, during the evening she’s becoming really fussy/frustrated and showing her usual hunger cues, she’ll latch on for a couple of minute...

My little girl will be 5 weeks on Sunday, I got discharged from the midwife on Monday and as my little girl was draining her 3oz bottles prior to the week, we were told to up her milk to 4oz However, we were in hospital with her the other day as she has a temperature and was being sick. I mentioned to several docto...

So I’m exclusively breast feeding my 6 week old baby boy. I’m having to go back to work tomorrow for my first KIT day. I’ve managed to express approximately 20oz over the last few weeks and he does take a bottle fine. However, I’m not sure how much to tell my mum to give him per bottle? He feeds every 1.5-2.5 hours ...

Can I get pregnant I’m 2 months postpartum and I’m only breastfeeding for 5 min on each breast

Hello, can anyone recommend a good breast pump?

How many times a day does your little one feed? Breastfed babies plz Mines 10 weeks and I just wanna get an idea of if she’s feeding enough! She’s gaining fine but doesn’t seem to actually feed that often! Maybe 6/7 times?

Can I have a small cup of coffee in the morning while breast feeding? I have a 5, 3 almost 4, a 1 yr, and then a 1 week old. I'm exhausted 😩 and I can't sleep during the day. My baby girl wakes every 2 hours to feed.

This might be such a silly question, I’m a first time mum and exclusively breastfeeding. My LO is 9 weeks old and has for the past two nights slept in a 5 hour stretch. I find that my boobs are so engorged when she wakes up and so uncomfortable. When she eventually starts sleeping through the night. How does this ...

I think I have come to a point where I would like to stop breastfeeding. I have EBF since birth and I would like to stop now but I just don’t know how. My son won’t take milk in a bottle so I’m not sure how we would do it. He isn’t a big eater as he always wants to breastfeed. Please give me tips!

My baby girl came 10 days early 🩷 She is 9 days old today and we’ve not had the easiest ride !! 2 days after birth the midwife told us to get back to hospital as she was jaundice over 25 hours on a light we were finally allowed home !! I’m breastfeeding I’ve got a good supply and was loving it till yesterday !!…

Is you 17 month old still using a bottle for milk? How do they have there milk and when and how much are u giving them? X

My fellow big booby moms, do you feel like nursing is all about holding your boob to not suffocate your baby than holding your baby !? 😭😭 I’m so lowkey jealous of moms with smaller breasts. Mine are humongous right now 😪 and my fingers hurt doing the freaking ‘C’ hold or scissor hold for hours..

I think I left it late, am 35wk already. Am a size 40d. Where can I get a good maternity bra for plus size like me?

My baby is exclusively breastfed and is 10 months old now Any suggestions for bottles or cups to serve her some milk or formula considering she will be 1 soon and will have to start cow milk Need suggestions what could be a best container to give her milk so that i can start some practice from now Also i have been...

Hey everyone! I’m a first time mom and my baby is 5 days old. I feed her every time she gets up but it seems like she doesn’t get enough and she hasn’t been peeing or pooping like the doctor told me She was. Any advice ?

Did you go back full time? When did you go back? How did you manage pumping if EBF? How was putting your baby in nursery? Mine will be 7 months. I don’t want to go back but I don’t see a choice. I’m so sad about it

Anyone have a bra they love/find extremely comfortable that you also think would work for nursing? I can’t remember which one I wore last time. It was fine whatever it was! But I haven’t worn a bra really for months now and am due and can’t find one that feels right in my drawer.

Hi girls, I’m 35+4 and have tried to collect colostrum by hand expressing but honestly have no clue what I am doing or how I am suppose to hand express. I have had leaky boobs but when I try to get it out by hand nothing happens. Would you recommend using a manual pump maybe? At a loose end at the moment 🫣

I pump and breastfeed and my boy is waking more at night, so we’re breast feeding and he’s taking more on my breast (it seems).. when I pump now, I pump less than I used to.. is this because he’s taking more when breastfeeding or my supply is reducing..?

Ftm here, my baby is 2 weeks old. I’ve been wanting a little drink just to relax (I’ve been insanely stressed.) But I do breastfeed my baby. Can I drink and still breastfeed? Idk how this works.
