Weight loss whilst Breastfeeding (jabs patches etc)
Hello!
Has anyone looked into whether or not it is safe to use weight loss medication whilst breastfeeding? I only breastfeed 10:30pm-5am as she is on cows milk in the day.
I cannot seem to shift weight, I think I’m exhausted, sleep deprived and probably not eating the best.

No, weight loss jabs are not allowed to be prescribed if breastfeeding as there’s not enough data on if it’s safe for baby.
I had to wait till I had fully stopped breastfeeding to be prescribed mounjaro.
Hey!! There has been one, albeit VERY small study, that showed on the lowest dose there was no drug transmission into breastmilk. However this is a very small study, and it is currently advised not to take whilst breastfeeding. No one will prescribe whilst breastfeeding ❤️
It’s really hard, but you have insight into which areas you struggle with- could you change one small thing at a time? 🥰 e.g drinking enough water/ eating breakfast etc etc
In order for the jab to be efficient don’t you need to been in a calorie deficit and in order to breast feed you need to consume enough so you can make milk and fuel yourself to function. Personally I would wait ❤️

Dummy’s
I’m exclusively BF and my newborn is only 11 days old and she definitely is cluster feeding and using me as comfort so I thought let me get newborn dummy small mam ones but she will not take them at all? Is there any others you reccomend or reccomend changing as I don’t want to just use me as comfort so I’m feeding her I want her to sleep longer periods during the night if possible so could give dummy as I did my other child and took it off him at 8 months old it worked fine but she doesn’t seem to want a dummy

Sick after bottle feeding
I just fed my 5 week old some formula ( 110ml ) and normally he burps well but he didn’t so I thought it’s fine. Put him down and he kind of projectile vomited some of the milk, made me panic. I picked him up and tried to burp him, he looked so uncomfortable but eventually settled and now I’m sat up in a chair scared to pop him down! Does that happen to many of you? He’s fast asleep now snoring away ( he snores normally )

Night duties
Hi my 15 week old is exclusively formula fed. I am on maternity leave and my husband works ft mon-fri. I do all night feeds and changes including weekends and when my husband takes days off as annual leave. Is this normal? Who does the nights for you? My baby usually wakes 2-3 times. At weekends he will usually take her from like 7am so I can sleep an extra hour or two upstairs. Sometimes I feel annoyed that he never even offers to do a night even at the weekend but maybe it’s normal for mum to do it … I appreciate it would likely be different for breastfed babies. Thanks.

Wake windows
For those who track wake windows and their baby doesn’t miss any naps during the day - are you noticing any difference in night time sleep? If they nap well during the day do they sleep better at night?
