Breastfeeding sensations

Does anyone else get shooting pains in their breast? I’ve not knowingly felt let downs in the past, but wondering if this is something like that? I also notice I get it if I have an emotion connected to my kids as weird as that sounds. I am BF but not fully, we do combi. It’s not mastitis or anything like that, I’m sure of it. Just wondering if this is a thing or just me!

I used to get a sharp stab like.someone jabbed a needle in until my supply regulated more. It was literally.every time I started to leak

Does it feel like like a stabbing pain as if someone put something really cold on your nipple and feel sharp?
You can look up Raynaud’s phenomenon of the nipple

Every time my baby latched I would get a shooting pain through my whole body out to my fingers and toes. It was just for the first couple seconds but every time through my whole year of breastfeeding. I also didn’t make enough milk and had to supplement with formula

Yeah, it feels like someone is winding up a clock in my boob. Usually it's when I'm about to have a letdown without baby bring at the breast cuz when she is nursing, I don't get that same feeling

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
