I exclusively breastfed my little boy then introduced food alongside at 6 months. When he turned 1 years old, I reduced it gradually to morning and night Iver a few months and replaced with cow's milk. Now at 2 years and 3 months old I still feed him, more for comfort, just before bedtime or if he's sick and distressed to calm him. Will wean off gradually but not feeling any pressure about it

Swaddle Vs sleeping suit.

Which one seems to work better for your baby? I am ftm, with a 4week old, I am not entirely sure what is the best option to get him to sleep restfully for a few hours between feeds.

Stop breastfeeding

Breastfeeding (expressing) is affecting my mental & physical health, my breasts constantly hurt, even when I express, I need to get checked to discard mastitis, but my mental health isn't good too, so I just want to stop producing milk.
I'm recovering from a C-Section, my body looks like a disgrace and my scar got infected twice and had to had antibiotics, I'm constantly uncomfortable.

GP has suggested to stop producing milk the natural way, but when I try, the pain is unbearable and it seems like my body wants to produce even more milk. I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't cope with it anymore.
Luckily my baby is mostly formula fed and any breastmilk has been given to him in bottles anyway, and he seems healthy & happy.

Has anyone stopped producing milk the natural way? I asked for medication and they said they can't prescribe it unless a major medical reason 😔

Silly question

My 1 week old seems to barely be awake, I know wake windows are really short at this age but is it normal for him to only be awake 1-2 hours a day?!

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else having real difficulty?? So demoralising. I was wondering if people have any tips…

Also how long should you try for? I’m getting minuscule drips but nowhere near even 0.1ml. 🥺

Thanks in advance

Bottles

I have an 8 month old..how many bottles are you giving your little ones each day? He would usually drink 250ml but now only drinks about 100-200ml each time since giving him 2/3 meals a day and water. I’m thinking to drop the bottles to 2-3 bottles a day. What does everyone else do? Thanks in advance 😊
