Tips for bustier mom?

Any of my bigger chested mama’s have any positioning tips? Like, I see moms in public nursing their babies with one arm like it’s no big deal, meanwhile I feel like I need two pillows and three hands on a good day 😅 would love to be able to do more “on the go” or at least besides my couch!

I have to carry my baby with both hands if I'm feeding her whilst walking or anything like that

I did it in the bed, just laid on my side with the baby on his side facing me and my breasts were big enough that I could feed him from both without changing positions

Honestly I just carried my boppy with me or used his diaper bag as one for his upper body

I recently discovered bf while the baby is in the baby carrier. I just losen it a bit,.so the baby slides lower, get a boob out and let him eat. Even with bigger breasts this is discreet. The carrier has a headshield so you can barely imagine what i am doing.

Nighttime nappies

Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good nappy for nights? 3 month old is sleeping in good stretches but nappies can’t keep up. Tried Aldi and pampers and now on Sainsbury’s and they are great in day but not at night?! Thanks so much

Co sleeping

Hello! What do you do to stop the baby from rolling off the edge of the bed? Out bed is quite high and LO had now learnt to roll!

Schedule/Routine

My LO is 11 weeks and I’m trying to start building a routine, as I’ve noticed her sleep varies. The last couple of days have been really difficult to get her to nap and she’s clearly tired but fights it. I’m wondering if I had more structure in our day, if it would help. She also doesn’t sleep through the night yet. Any recommendations or methods that worked for people? Or is this all normal and I just need to wait it out?

Breastfeeding

Does it actually get easier?

Two weeks postpartum and I’m exhausted. Baby is awake every 1-2 hours feeding and is EBF. I can’t sleep during day as my toddler doesn’t nap and so I feel like I’m running on fumes.
Do you get longer stretches when baby is breastfed? I’ve seen some women say they haven’t slept in years for more than two hours due to breastfeeding!

I need your help/advice

My 6 day old hasn’t done a poo for almost 72 hours now. He’s been passing wind and peeing normally. The last time I spoke to the midwife, it had been 48 hours since his last poo, and she said she wasn’t too worried and advised me to continue feeding him.

I’m calling again tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar. We switched from formula to 100% breastfeeding about 3 days ago, and I have no idea whether he’s getting enough milk. I can see and hear him swallowing, but it’s still so confusing trying to know how much he’s actually getting.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?
