Yeah fed my first for 25 months no pumping 😊

I’m exclusively breastfeeding with no pumping as I’m not away from my baby hence no need for it. And he’s 8 months old.
The only time it’s recommended that you pump is if you are planning to be away from the baby for a long period of time. Or if you want someone else to feed the baby occasionally so you can have a break etc. but if you’re happy to feed the baby on demand then there’s no need for it

Just breastfeeding here. I pumped a little bit 2 months ago for the freezer just in case I need to go somewhere without May 2026 baby but it's not been used/needed & I've been breastfeeding non-stop since having my first May 2024

Yup, 10 months. Pumped at the started as he was combi fed due to leaving hospital without a latch. Had to introduce bottles, do did expressed and formula. He took both fine. But as he started wanting more volume he also wanted boob more. So I fazed pumping out. My husband wasn't able to help as much so I couldn't do that and feed. Now my body just adapts to him. I can go all day he's in nursery and not pump. He is still transitioning to bottles at thr nursery and it's hard to know how much he should be having there with him being predominantly breast fed. But we're managing so far x

I fed no pumping first 12 weeks then had to pump while I was at work. Once baby hit 1 I stopped pumping but continued breastfeeding (he just has cows milk while I'm at work now). Almost 18months in and some days I'll be away at work for 14 hours but I'll come back and still be able to feed totally fine xx

I’m only breastfeeding. I’ve pumped a couple times when I’ve had to pop out for an appointment but my little one doesn’t like the bottle so we use the milk for bath time. You don’t need to pump unless you have an oversupply and your uncomfortable

I hated pumping, I did it twice and never again. I exclusively breastfeed (:
Am I the only one? My little girl is 12 months next week and she’s just so moody. She does smile and laugh ect but most of the time she’s throwing herself around, having tantrums won’t let me change her won’t let me dress her. I feel like giving up sometimes 😩 does this phase ever end? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any advice?

I’m seeing and hearing lots about the 4 month sleep regression but has anyone not ever got out of the newborn cycle and still only getting 2-3hour stretches and never got a “down all night”?! The most my LO has slept was 5 hours, ONCE!
Is this going to get worse and go to hourly?!
I am taking it as I am not missing something I’ve never had and just functioning on 2 hr sleep stretches is fine 🥲

i feel like i’m doing everything to stop this but nothing is working 🙈 addressing myself as mama, the people around me call me mama in front of her. she has a photo book and i point at myself and say mama. she won’t stop! 😭😭 please tell me she will grow out of this or something because this has been going on for about a month. she won’t even say the word mama anymore, even out of context

My LB will be 5 weeks tomorrow and he currently weights about 10lb 6oz, but he is quite a long baby & we’ve just had to size up to Pampers size 2 from 1; it felt like they weren’t fitting right around his hips and kept leaking! Has anyone else reached size 2 around this age? X

What dish soap are you using for washing your bottles? Was using NUK dish soap but went through that in no time. Fairy is making it smell so soapy, and I can’t find anything that’s unscented!
