Can anyone recommend me good beat pump that actually works x

What am I doing wrong?! I got it today and barely getting any milk! I don’t understand 🥴

Hello mamas How do you start to collect colostrum? I’m just about 36 weeks and set to have baby come at 39 weeks. I’ve been leaking since like 30 weeks but only when I’m sleeping..like I’ll wake up to my nipples all crusty. I know that’s a little tmi.

Feel like I have to syke myself up to do it sometimes. Sat here in tears tonight because I really don't feel up to pumping after my daughter refused to latch before bed. Sick of feeling like total shit every time.

Since breastfeeding my left breast is literally twice the size of my right. You can’t notice in a regular bra but when wearing a strapless or no bra it’s definitely noticeable.. like it’s honestly so embarrassing. I have a wedding to attend next month so I need to wear a strapless bra. Anyone know of any that will n...

Hello mamas! Anyone knows if this brand and type of hair dye is safe to use while breastfeeding? :) xx

I think my milk supply has dropped and I've no idea why? I express and was doing it 2-3 times a day and getting between 800 and 900ml but in the last two weeks, it's dropped to 600ml. When I noticed, I started pumping every 2-3 hrs to bring it back up but I'm barely getting 700ml with the additional pumps. I don't ...

Going back to work when baby is 12 months. She is on 3 solid meals a day, was wondering how everyone is getting on with weaning off the breast (if you are stopping at 1 year old) thanks.

When did you perfect breastfeeding in a carrier? I have the Tula explore and a 3 month old. I have tried a couple times and it feels a bit awkward at the moment.

With my first one I breastfed for a long time. It was beautiful, felt natural and healthy and I loved the connection with my daughter but the nights just about ruined it for me, at least the first 9 months of her life. I am neurodivergent and untreated so I get very overwhelmed with noises and emotions already witho...

I’m pumping every 3 hours (trouble with breastfeeding) and try to drain as much as possible, but I’m still getting clogged milk ducts, not going away. Anyone else experienced this? Does sunflower lecithin really work? Any known side effects on mom or baby? Would love your advice.

Hey moms question about breastfeeding My son is about to be 8 weeks on the 31st and he is starting to sleep for longer and only wake up Maybe 2x at night. So when I wake up my boobs are full and they hurt. And when he wakes up he gets full off of one boob so next time he wakes up I feed him off the other boob I kno...

I was pumping 2-3 hours the first few weeks but stopped when baby was a month old as she wouldn’t take the bottle but loved being on the boob. Baby is now 6 months old and I’m starting to pump again to use the milk making purées etc but I’m only getting a tiny amount of milk out. Seems the pump only works when bab...

I don’t have any caps for my syringes? Just the syringes with the screw top bit?

So i have a 3 week old. I had a traumatic birth so I couldn’t breastfeeding straight away like I planned on doing so I started in formula which he took fine and never dropped weight. Over a week ago after I recovered I introduced the breast, aswell as formula when his dad feeds him or I’m unable to breastfeed for wh...

After trying with my first pregnancy (and not getting anything) I’ve done my first collection this morning 🥹 I’m 38 weeks, and wasn’t going to bother as I didn’t manage it last time. But I’m beginning to try different holistic methods to start this little one’s eviction. It’s not much, but I will add to it over…

Did anyone put their baby on cows milk early? My LO starts nursery on the 28th of August and and doesn’t turn 1 until 14th September. To make things easier I was going to transfer him onto cows milk for nursery. Has anyone done it early and is it okay a few weeks before he’s one?

Anyone combi feeding and baby starting to refuse breast? screams every time until he gets a bottle. I really wanted to continue to 6 months but he’s 5 months now and I don’t think he’s gonna do it much longer, feeling so disappointed 😞
