Hello! My lo is 11 months and he still likes his bottles warmed up and I was wondering if anyone was going to be warming up whole milk or just giving it cold?

My baby is 6 days old and he is constantly crying and feeding, i’m so exhausted and so is his dad because we’re not able to fall asleep due to him waking up and crying. We feed him, burp him and try to cuddle with him but he just won’t settle and it’s really starting to stress me out, he won’t latch due to my boobs...

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has had this? pumped some milk and left it in the fridge, when i come back a couple of hours later it has a blue tinge? is this normal/still okay for baby? Tia x

Hey all the sudden my baby girl started to refuse to eat, she is no longer interested in taking her bottle or breastfeeding l, we have been doing both. She is very fussy when sleeping, turning her head left to right quickly, grabbing my nipple for 2 seconds and turning her head again, I don't know what to do, she do...

Can anyone advise on what I need to do to stop the milk coming in? Do I just leave them be and if baby isn’t obvs latching then will the milk production…

Anyone experiencing low milk supply at 13 weeks ? Earlier i used to feel my breasts are engorged with milk, full but now i feel breasts are floppy soft like dough? Any one has experienced it?

My baby is coming up to 12 months and I would like to stop but how lol

how are you dealing with your engorged breasts, any tips on getting the milk to dry up, soothe the pain etc??

I’m really struggling to breastfeed, my daughter latches then lets go then screams I’m forever swapping breasts and I just feel it’s not working for us. I’ve done 2 weeks so far with the odd instant formula and some days we do well others are hell. I’m not enjoying it which I’m really gutted about

Husband tonight asked when I thought we should end the breastfeeding of our 18m old. He asked when I thought I wanted to stop. I asked him you mean pumping or giving her the boobie? And he’s like the boob. I said I dunno. Prolly stop pumping between now -2yo (I’m only pumping 1-2x a day and it’s not much) but I said...

My 4month old has been off her milk i think as its so hot. Nhs states its fine to offer a few sips does anyone else do this? Im still giving her milk but shes literally only having 2-3oz so just worried as shes a warmer baby.

Hi, which pump is best please, I'm looking at the Elvie and Momcozy, I want hands free and the ability to just shove it in my bra and not have to think about it. The Momcozy seems to have mixed reviews but it's so much cheaper. Are there any other brands I should be looking at please? Thank you 🙏🏼 x

Hi Ladies! I’m 30 weeks today 🥳 I’m really hoping to exclusively breast feed, especially for the first couple of months… I’d like to pump so Dad can feed baby girl too. When’s the best time to buy an electric breast pump? Anytime from now? Or after baby’s born? Which one is best recommended? I’m a FTM so…

My LO is 4 weeks old and he stopped taking breasts 😒 I have been pumping for 2 weeks now and tried combi feeding (breast milk only). He first stopped opening his mouth wide enough to latch and as of yesterday is not happy taking breasts at all. Has anyone experienced this? Any word of advice? I'm struggling to…

How is the pinching going as you breastfeed? 😂 Now I don’t just have to deal with being bitten but also having my neck, cheeks and nose pulled and pinched. 🤣

My baby turns 12 months next month which is what the recommended age to do so but has anyone started when their baby was 11 months old? Will it effect him if I do so?

Hello, I am a FTM so I really have no clue what I’m doing. I have had SEVERAL clogged ducts and the most I have ever produced was when I got 5oz all together after 6hrs and it took a month to get to that point after a clogged duct. About 70% of my right breast was inflamed and wouldn’t drain and it’s the worst feeli...

Has anybody else who is over 25+ weeks started lactating and if so what’s good to stop the pain after it happens

Since last night, my left boob has been extremely swollen and tender on the whole bottom half. I assume something is blocked. It’s so painful, especially when he feeds and during the let down. I’ve had a look a tips to unblock which I’ll try today, does anyone have any experience of what works? The pain is unbearable😢

I have a bit of an oversupply and doesn’t seem like I’m going to need it soon since I plan to breastfeed for over a year How can I donate it? Or sell it
