Low milk supply

My baby is 7 weeks and have been breastfeeding this whole time.
I express milk into bottles so my partner can feed but also use breast at night time and pump as a top up.

Today my milk supply has been next to nothing and I am not sure why. Feeds are consistently every 3 hours.

Anyone faced this issue?

Is ur baby losing weight? Do they poop and pee everyday? Thats more indicative of suppy issue than pumping.. to add. Your period might be coming. So up your magnesium and calcium. Supposed to help with dips in supply during that time

How’s your nutrition and water intake?

Around 6-8 weeks it begins to regulate. But if you aren't removing milk when he receives a bottle, you aren't telling your body to make it.
How much are you pumping?

Breastfeeding

I have a wedding this weekend and I’m currently exclusively breast feeding. Unfortunately kids aren’t allowed to the wedding so I’m trying to think of what’s best for my little boy. To pump or to offer formula and breast milk. He can be a little reluctant at times with bottles but will take it.
Any suggestions? 🙏
I’m also worried about what this could do to my supply

Fashion babes help me in the comments 😭

I’m buying a bag for holiday, I’ve decided to splurge on just one and then maybe buy another 2 cheap ones as back up.

Problem is I’m indecisive 🫠 I’ve managed to narrow it down from 13 to 4 bags but I still can’t choose

Surrogate mothers

This is a random question that I was generally just curious about the other day and I figured someone here would have the answer... but after surrogate mothers give birth, do they produce breast milk? What happens next with that? Do they pump and keep giving it to the parents of the baby? If not do they have to pump until it dries up so they don't keep getting engorged? Maybe they donate it or sell it? I don't ever plan on being a surrogate but I was just generally curious about this lol

Weaning nightmare

Anyone else hating weaning? Every time I try to put my girl in her high chair, or put a bib a or jacket on she screams until she's red and shaking.
By that point it pretty awful so we tend to abandon, we have barely given our 7.5 month old anything because of this.
Any tips or advice?
I've tried different chairs, no bib different times of day. Just exhausted and getting sad seeing all the other babies sat eating food in group chats

First Time Mom with a late talker

Hello fellow mama's, I could really use some advise and support for my LO. He's 18 months next week and still not really talking. Lot's of baby talk, say "mamama and dadada" and other sounds sounds but nothing with like specific intention. He's said hi a couple times but it's difficult to get him to repeat it. He's where he's supposed to be developmentally in pretty much every other way and when you talk to him and ask him to say things it looks like he's thinking so hard but just can't connect the dots. He has his 18 month check next week so we're going to bring it up, hopefully we can get a referral. But was just wanting to kind of hear other mom's stories if your little ones had similar experiences. It's so difficult not to feel like a failed parent in situations like this.
