Tingly boobs

I am 4 weeks postpartum and am breastfeeding.
I am finding that my boobs keep having a tingling sensation and can sometimes be painful and this is when I am not breastfeeding.
Is this normal?

Are you boobs leaking when they are tingling? And is it the nipple or the actual boob?

Hey, this has happened to me both times with my boys. It’s like a pins and needles, tingling sensation? Completely normal. It’s your let down, I’ll normally get a little leak after that if it is while I’m not feeding which most of the time I’m not when it happens x

I get this when I’m feeding I get it on the boob I’m not feeding on very weird but yeah normal xx

Yes! I know it’s usually time for a feed when this happens. I also feel the tingly sensation in my armpits and it’s so itchy! Our bodies are weird😂

Mine works like a perfect timer, I know when she hasn't fed for 90 minutes 🤣

Sounds like let down

Yeah that’s when you’re having a let down. I get the same tingling pain and sometimes it actually hurts! It’s not a very nice feeling

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

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?

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.

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😢💗
