Hey y’all! So I’m an exclusively breast-feeding mama and the other night my daughter would not stay asleep unless she was latched to me so she was latched on all night and since then, it’s been painful to feed her and today I noticed a fluid filled BLISTER on my NIPPLE 😩 I popped it because I didn’t want it to pop…

Anyone bought their breast pump yet and if so, which one did you go for? Too many options out there and a lot of which have conflicting reviews (either 1 or 5 stars). I like the idea of a double handsfree pump for easy and freedom.

Hi everyone. I have purchased the MAM move wearable breast pump but unsure if I should sell it and go with the MOMcozy s12 pro pump since I keep seeing recommendations on here … can anyone advise on the MAM pump? Don’t want to open it and it be a waste of money Thanks everyone.

My 8MO is EBF and I've never had a problem breastfeeding him, but I woke up this morning and nothing, like nothing. It's now 2pm and I haven't pumped once because there is just nothing there. Is that even possible??? What the hell happened?? Am I able to get it back???

Does nipple thrush make baby quite unsettled? No matter what we’ve done baby is just not sleeping or settling down. Keeps spitting out milk a few minutes after a feed and is crying not the normal kind just screeching on top of his lungs. Will contact the gp tomorrow but just don’t know what else to do… I’m literall...

My 8 week old has been combi fed since birth due to milk supply issues. I've always fed in the day and then done a mixture of breast and bottle in the evening. The last couple of days however from mid afternoon she has started to refuse whichever breast I offer first and then refusing both and only wanting the bottl...

Hi so my 12 day old is exclusively breastfed on demand she’s above birth weight and putting on super well, I don’t know if it’s normal but after every single feed she’s pooping straight away health visitor asked if she’s having two poos a day but she’s having well more than that ! Is this normal ? She’s not in pain...

Hi, I feel like my milk is drying up 9 day PP. I was leaking constantly breast pads would last 30 mins before was all over my belly and clothes, I had alot of engorgement. My boobs were 10x bigger full of milk. And as of today they are back to today they are back to normal size, no engorgement and breast pads have b...

Hi! My little one is one month old and I have over 400 ounces in my freezer… help me help you!!

My LB is 18months old and I’m still breast feeding. To goto sleep(bed and nap time) after feeding he needs one nipple in his ear and strokes the other. I know it’s all for comfort but I feel like I’m the only one, am I? My LG never did any of this but I had to stop feeding her at 8months old.

Do you still breastfeed baby right before putting them to bed for the night? Or do you feed earlier in the day and then do bedtime routines and they will fall asleep independently? At the moment I am giving my little girl 100ml of pumped milk with her dinner, then doing bath, book, pajamas / sleeping bag, breastfee...

Hey all! I admit I’m writing this feeling quite emotional. My boy is nearly 6 months old, I was adamant we were going to breastfeed. But life and problems got in the way, and I was pushed to bottle feeding whilst we were in hospital. As a result, I suppose I was a tad bit postpartum depressed, and now I can’t even ...

Hey! What are the signs of milk production starting please? I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and apart from my boobs getting bigger I haven’t noticed any changes

My breastfeeding journey has been really difficult. Baby is 16 days old and I can’t seem to get him full on breast milk. He’s had his tongue tie cut today which has helped with latching but he’s still so hungry despite BF all day today so I’ve had to top up with formula (he’s been combi feeding due to jaundice and l...

I’ve just started doing some KIT days at work and my previously ebf baby (6.5 months) is only taking very small feeds! We initially started my little one on tomme tippee bottles with expressed milk but she wasn’t keen, then we tried an open cup and then an open cup with a straw but still no luck! We’ve had more su...

How is everyone going back to work with a breast fed baby?

Any recommendations for pumps? I want something that’s easy to clean sick of washing up and using the massive tommee tippee steriliser it takes ages need something quick and easy so I can get back to baby

Anyone know any tea’s that help increase breastmilk

So I’m almost switched over to formula and my baby is so much more calm and happy on my milk she was so gassy and screamed for hours i just want to know if anyone was in the same boat as me i think it’s interesting because ppl say breast is best but that wasn’t the case for my baby fed is definitely best

I’m 37 weeks today and trying to start getting my colostrum but nothing seems to be coming out yet is that normal
