Lactation suppression

I do not want to breastfeed (please don't ask me why) i just don't want to. I just found out the NHS no longer prescribe cabergoline and instead recommended cabbage leaves 😞 anyone know how I can get a cabergoline prescription or anything else I may be able to ask for or get to stop lactation. Happy to pay private prices

Just book an appointment with a private GP and would imagine they can help you. If you Google private GPs near me you will find some or you can use an online GP service

I’m sure you’d be able to get it on a private prescription via a private GP. Tbh I’ve generally never found private prices that much more than NHS prescription costs but I’d pay anything to fix a problem.

Not used cabergoline but when I wanted to stop both times I dehydrated myself for a day or two and took sudofen. Pseudoephedrine is a milk supply killer, my midwife friend told me that’s why they advise any lactating mums never to use it when sick. My supply was gone in 3/4 days without any issues.

Hey! I’m dealing with the same atm and my GP has denied my prescription request. Wondering if you were able to get it on private prescription?

How to change baby’s sleep cycle? HELPP

currently my LO (7 months) bedtime is 12am to 7am wake up for a feed then goes straight to sleep and wakes up around 10:30/11am. Has two naps in the day the latest ones around 6-8pm. It works for me because I sleep at the same time as her. But I don’t want her to sleep like this forever.. anyone had the same issue 😩 NEED HELP on how to adjust it and push back her bedtime to an earlier one or will it happen naturally …?

Getting sex life back!

11 months after having a baby and we had sex probably twice or 3 times I can't even remember. I love my husband so much that i feel sorry for him. I have zero libido but I don't mind trying, it's just the thought of it makes me feel sick like I have never had sex before in my whole life. If someone was in the same place what did you do? I co sleep and breast feed for context.

Baby’s grunting and snuffling

Is it normal for a 3 week old to still be grunting and loudly snuffling when sleeping?! My baby boy is quite loud and I thought this only lasted a week or so after birth 🤔
