Eat and drink plenty, 3Ls of water minimum a day always helps me. People often recommend eating oats but they don’t do much for me, bbt eating plenty of protein does. Emptying your breasts is the the best way to increase supply as that’s the only way you’ll produce more
Thank you very much😊x
Hi, I had very little milk at the beginning and now I have to freeze it because I produce more than enough. I drink a lot of water and HotTea Mama from holland & barrett. I pump every 2-3 hours and power pump once a day. I have a pair. Of medela motion inbra wich is great.
latch as much as you can, pumps cant beat a babies latch, at least until your supply is in x

Nursery settling in period
My LB has been settling into nursery this week and is doing amazing. Only cried once when we re-entered - can't lie I felt a bit betrayed having been on mat leave with him for 11.5 months but I digressed. Anyway for the last two three days he's been waking up 6am instead of 6.30am. Is this normal? Also they only do one nap at nursery at midday. He still has two naps as if he's awake for too long he becomes really fussy and whiny until he goes to sleep so I'm worried how they will transition him to one nap. Also, his nap is just before the time he needs to be nursery each day for settling in between 9.30/10am. Oh and for the first time ever he refused his bedtime bottle last night. Would love to hear your experiences and advice please.

Help!
My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when I’ve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

Ftm 31 weeks pregnant advice please 🫶🏻
I’m so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if I’m rushing. All advice welcome❤️
1. I’m having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?
2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if they’ll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?
3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just don’t know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when she’ll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

Sleep regression
Can someone please tell me this gets better 😭😅
My baby was sleeping really well and now his sleep is completely chaotic, he will go to sleep initially but then 3 hours later he’s making noises, crying out etc and then it’s every hour after that!😭 he can fall asleep on his own most of the time so I don’t understand this and what I’m meant to do. He’s 13 weeks old but I’d say the disrupted sleep has been happening for the past 2/3 weeks.
Anyone else? or anyone else been through this and know when it ends/how to help it?

Nighttime nappy changes
Are people still changing nappies throughout the night? Currently still changing my LO's at least once (as she's up every 2 hours most nights anyway) but notice the pack says 12 hours so wondering if I actually need to be doing? Worried about her getting nappy rash from wee sitting for longer than a few hours though?🤔 Obviously would change immediately if she pooped.
