It may not dry up! Lots of women breastfeed throughout pregnancy. I’m pregnant and still breastfeeding my 18 month old

That's so amazing 🩷. I didn't know it remained as actual milk, I was under the impression that even if it doesn't dry up at some point it'll become colostrum.

There will be a turn eventually, and some toddlers/nurslings will self wean or become disinterested once that happens, but some aren’t fussed.
I 100% doubt my little boy will be put off and I think I’m going to end up tandem feeding 😂x

My supply has definitely gone down but he also stopped nursing frequently shortly after I got pregnant. He was teething and had an ear infection for like almost a month. He’s almost 14 months and I’m 11 +3 and we are still BFing. He nurses on demand during the day and night, before naps, and before bed.

16 weeks. Not sure it fully dried up but it dropped significantly. He continued nursing anyway and my colostrum came in around 23 weeks. He's still breastfeeding occasionally now I'm 3 months pp with his brother.

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😢💗

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
