No, I haven't had any problems with my nipples. It's on the bottom to the right

Does it hurt during the day and burn when you're feeding the baby? Could be a clogged duct

Yes, it randomly hurts but mostly during feedings

Im experiencing the same thing. It’s either clogged duct,mastitis or your engorged which I don’t think that is the problem. I had breastfeeding issues also and just getting the hang of it a month later. It still hurts on the begtbut it gets better as he’s eating. My breast hurt when it’s cold so I put a warm compress on them and it helps!

Sometimes during a feeding the opposite side from the one my baby’s nursing on has pain on the outter sides of my boob for some reason. It’s been happening recently and I’m about a month pp as well.

I'm 3 weeks PP and I breastfeed and supplement formula. I get sharp or tingly feelings sometimes in my breasts, then start leaking. It's a let down, a release of milk ducts that are overly full. Does it happen on the breast he's/she's nursing on or the opposite side?

same here! The opposite side had a sharp pain that shoots thru my boob when I feed!

do you know the cause? I’m not sure what it is.

I do not, but I do see my midwife today and I’m going to ask her! Cause that pain hurts!!!

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

5 am wake up🫩🥱

My 3 year old … lately has been waking at 5am 😭
I’m exhausted!

He winds down half an hour before bed - we get ready for bed, each of us read a book each, kisses and cuddles, a drink of water and up to bed. He goes down easy, I sit for 2 minutes literally and he’ll self sooth himself to sleep by 7:30pm he’s out! But the past 3 days he’s been waking and coming into my bed at 5am … me thinking he’ll go sleep he’ll just toss and turn and wants to go down…

Anyone in the same boat?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?
