Breastfeeding Mamas

I keep seeing mix reviews , did breastfeeding make you loose weight?

Which ideaology do you wish would disappear?

1. Toys have genders
2. Breastfeeding past 1 year is just for the Mum
3. Boys don't cry
4. You can sleep train a newborn

Couldn't fit an option for all of them

What age did you stop breastfeeding?

So I love my breastfeeding journey and I’m not trying to stop anytime soon. My youngest just turned 1. Does anyone have any positive stories to share about their journey and how you dealt with things like biting, dips in supply, or self-weaning?

I’m lost

My daughter turns 6 months soon and will not stop crying. She has NEVERRR been like this at all. I put her down, she cries, I hold her, she cries. I am so tired and slowly going insane. I don’t know why she’s so sad. She doesn’t want a bottle, she doesn’t want to play and she doesn’t want to sleep. Someone please tell me this is normal or if I should take her to a doctor

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Do you think a mom can be committing SA to make her 3 year old nurse?

My friend nurses her 3 year old boy. It was super uncomfortable because she said it’s time for a feed and he threw a fit and said he didn’t want to and then she basically made him. It was weird.

Do you think incognito posts making assumptions or comments about breastfeeding are just trying to take digs at breastfeeding Mums?

Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

Really fussy and upset baby. Please tell me it gets better?!

Hey, my 11 week old is a fussy baby from day one. He has his good moments but generally cries a lot, doesn’t like change and is a sensitive soul. I find it really hard to leave the house with him. He’s showing signs of regulating better and tolerating things however, the past 3 days he has just constantly cried and is fighting all of his naps. He usually loves contact napping on me but lately he fights it and only sleeps for about 15-20 minutes. He has also been getting distracted during feeds.

I think he’s currently in the third leap but please tell me it gets better?! Especially those who have had fussy/alert babies. Do they settle and become happy & relaxed babies? 😵‍💫

11 weeks old sleeping 4+hrs

Hi all. My 11 week old slept thru the night (fell asleep at 9-ish pm, woke up a 2 for a feed then slept till 6.30am) and now hes been sleeping since then so 4+hrs since his last feed. Am i okay to let him sleep this long without a feed? Hes currently on 140/150ml of breastmilk

Best bottles for BF babies (not lansinoh already tried and she doesn’t get on with them)

Anyone got any other bottle recommendations for BF babies? My little one is EBF but we need her to take a bottle for when I go back to work.

We’ve tried lansinoh and she just battles with it the whole time makes the whole experience awful.

Can anyone help with how I can keep 15mth old asleep at night?

Im due twins sep/October but my 15mth old will still wake in the night which wouldn't be a problem if he just had his bottle and went back to sleep but more often than not he will be awake 4 hrs before he finally gives in and goes back to sleep. Im struggling because im then tired the next day and it makes my morning sickness worse plus its not fair on my husband who has to get up at 5.30am to go to work.

🫩😫😩😵‍💫😖🫠😣😴🥱🫩🥴

We’re cutting our first tooth, have a cold & 4 month sleep regression is in full swing! Send help 😩😂

Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished

Ferber

If you were / have doing Ferber to try and keep baby (15 months) in their cot overnight, would you take in it turns throughout the night with your partner or do one full night on / off each?

Thinking it’s good to have that support on a night but then you’re both suffering and maybe it’s better for at least one person to be rested for the next day?

Is this normal?

My husband works a lot and I really appreciate him for it and everything he does for the family . But the man doesn’t do anything in the house - sometimes he’ll feed our 11m old but only if I ask or play with her and our 4year old but other than that doesn’t do anything. I’m kinda lucky because I prayed for my 2nd child to sleep through the night and that’s exactly what has happened. She’s 11m now and has hardly woken up a handful of times in those 11months and my husband has woken up and put her back to sleep which hardly takes 10 mins but why does the man act like he does everything? With my first he never helped not for anything- she was breastfed and up all odd hours of the night and he would sleep through it all and for me to have a child now who sleeps through the night I feel like I’ve won but why does it man always have to say oh you should be lucky she’s sleeping through the night? Why does this man act like he’s the one that used to wake up and breastfeed out first girl for 3years when he barely even helped change diapers . I’ve barely gotten 1 break in 5 years and that also I had to rush n be back home - this man thinks just cause he doesn’t get breaks or time for himself I’m deemed to go through the same? And everytime I say I’m sick or I’m tired - all behold it’s turned into a competition as to who is more tired or who is more sick - I sometimes think I barely fall sick ever since meeting this man is because he would never take care of me - even when I gave birth to our 2nd child , he just continued going for his side hustles jobs , I mean I understand we need the money? But is money always going to be more important than your wife’s health?

Worried about late to crawling

My little girl has just turned 10 months old and still isn’t crawling. She sits up well and is strong when standing assisted.
We do tummy time and she pushes herself backwards and worms her bottom but she doesn’t go forward (been like this for 2 months now). She also doesn’t commando crawl and isn’t traditional crawling. And whilst can stand supported she isn’t interested in pulling herself up.
I am just wanting to see if anyone else is in the same boat as us? Please no commenting about how little ones have been crawling for ages - I already feel worried!

Cows milk

What’s everyone’s thoughts on introducing cows milk in bottle?? My little boy will be 1 in just over 2 weeks, we have just over half a tin of his formula left, he’s only really in 2 bottles a day now one in morning and one before bed, he’s eats 3 meals a day and has a very varied diet. he has cows milk with his food.. would you do a straight swap? Do I need to wait till the day he turns one or can I start a week earlier as it seems pointless buying a whole new formula pot just for a week?
