Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

My little girl is almost 3 weeks now, she just wouldn’t leave me. I am exclusively breast feeding… she stays on me for hours and hours. As soon as I try to put her down she starts fussing and crying. Any advice please!

My little boy has just turned three months, and even before now, people have been asking me how long I plan to breastfeed… why do you think people ask this? I’m not offended or complaining, just genuinely curious. As I’ve learnt and heard more along the way, my answer has changed anyway - and who knows how it’ll p...

I’m looking for some breast pump recommendations. I like the sound of the wearable ones, however I have seen people advise that they don’t really empty you fully. I previously had a Mandela manual pump 8 years ago, but I was a little uneducated and it didn’t work very well with me. I’d rather not spend a fortune ...

FTM 3 weeks pp and just starting to go out and about. Does anyone else get super anxious when out? I wouldn’t usually say I’m an anxious person but I don’t quite know how to handle the breastfeeding yet. I also express into bottles & have prepared these if going out but would love to feel more comfortable. I have on...

First time mom here. My little boy is exclusively breastfed and is not gaining weight. Aside from that he’s got eczema. Nurses and health visitors are very concerned about both and we’ve been to children’s clinic, GP, HV clinic and been hospitalized for infected eczema. I don’t want to give up breastfeeding and I ge...

For a breastfed baby

Those with a fast letdown, how long does your baby nurse for?

I need some tips to stop breastfeeding. My little one would rather have boob than food and she still wakes up to have some at night. It’s very draining and I need her to be more free of me so I can start getting ready to work again.

Hiya my little girl used to take a bottle of formula every so often from a tommee tippee natural start bottle, the rest of the time she is breast fed. However it seems now she won’t take a bottle, does anyone have any recommendations on different brands to try?

Hey yall! This is for the girlies that have more than one, and were EBF when they found out about their next kiddo. I’m a little worried. I’m EBF, but there are long nightly stretches b/t BF for my second, but only about 2 hours of time in b/t feeds during the day. I wanna know, for those that *have* gotten pregn...

My little one is now 20 months old and I am 20 weeks pregnant. I’d like to have some sort of break between breastfeeding him before his sister arrives. However it’s proving challenging to wean him off. He eats well but likes his milk when I get in from work, before bed and if we are together through the day he wil...

! sorry if this is long! So I must admit this breast-feeding journey has been hard, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Now I have several God kids. All of which was formula fed the mother never even gave breast-feeding a chance. But now it’s snarky comments that’s being made towards me while I’m doing my breast-...

Best nursing bra for bigger tattas? I have a multi pack of soft ones from tiktok which are super nice at home and at night. But looking for a bra to wear out where my boobs sits better and higher and not falling out (which they do in the ones I tried) Are the Momcozy worth the price tag???

Im having a really hard time deciding to stop because my baby is a month old and since she was in the hospital ive always had to supplement woth formila i never made enough for her i know breast milk is best for her but im only able to make about three ounces a day while pumping every 2-3 hours and taking lactation ...

Struggling with breast refusal at the moment. Any insight would be welcome 🙏

So unfortunately I have to go back to work early while my newborn is still in her first few weeks but I’m only going to be gone for 4-5 hours today. I have been desperately pumping since last night to try and have enough for my partner to make her at least a few bottles while I’m gone. I am so sleep deprived so I ca...

So I'm 36+5 days and I wanted to start pumping but I hear its not good for everyone.. but I just wanted to attempt and wondering if anyone else has tried to do the same and what happened afterwards.

So my little girl is 10 months and we breast and bottle feed her. I know not exclusively give them cows milk till they are 1 but I am wanting to try her with a few sips a day. Will this be okay as she is only just taking to water and juice. Just wondering if she will be ill?
