Moms who breastfed while pregnant did anything help with the pain of nursing???

I’m 15 weeks and I’m dying nursing (not really but damn this hurts😢) I was planning on letting my daughter wean herself off but I don’t see it happening. I just got over a clogged nipple pore too from her still nursing, any advice

She will be 2 in August and I’m sure it’s probably time to get her off but I feel guilty

I accidentally hit yes, I don't have experience with this but am wishing you ease 🙏 whatever your gut is telling you, no matter what you decide - be proud for making it this long 👏

Same story for me!! Both times while I was pregnant with my 2nd & 3rd baby. Weaning my 2nd while pregnant with my 3rd was the worst!! He was 2.5 & didn’t want to wean, until one day he saw me crying & said ok mommy all done :(

I’m almost 35 weeks along with second baby and have nursed my first born the entire time. My daughter will be 2 1/2 years old at the end of July and we have nursed 3 times a day since she’s never had a bottle or sippy cup (will only drink water out of an open cup). I tried weaning when she turned a year old and it was such a struggle since she also refuses other forms of dairy. I’ve grown to love breastfeeding and I’m honestly sad she’s just started to wean herself off this week. I think she’ll be completely weaned off by the time I give birth although I hope to nurse both babies at the same time at least once for the experience. The best thing that’s worked for me is following her lead and nursing on demand. I haven’t experienced much pain but to help with nipple soreness, I apply Earth Mama nipple cream after feeds to help them heal. It’s absorbed/ rubbed off by the next feed. I also massage my breasts pretty often which may help reduce any discomfort as my milk/ supply changes.

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
