Breast pain

Hello, I’ve been breastfeeding nearly 3 weeks now and the past few days I’ve started to notice when I feed whichever breast she’s not on has a pain go through it once she starts feeding from the other. It’s very strange, it stops once she’s drank about half of her usual feed and doesn’t happen when she’s not feeding. Is this normal?

The feeling is your “letdown” this is very normal and will slow down as baby gets older and your boobies grow to understand the supply and demand you need x

My daughter is almost 6 months and this still happens when she gets a lot of milk out from one side, the other side lets down milk too. It didn’t happen till she was like 2-3 months but I kinda like it, it helps me know she’s getting good milk

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
