Is anyone else having trouble with their LO fighting sleep? My son has either been on boob, feeding from a bottle (I’ve started pumping) or screaming at me all evening. I live with my parents so my dad has told me to get some rest while he watches him as he isn’t due a feed for around an hour or so but I’m exhausted...

My baby (8days old) has been cluster feeding almost all day and hasn’t stopped for the past 5 hours (apart from to be changed). When he eventually does sleep, do I still need to wake him to be fed after 3/4 hrs? Or will he have had enough today?

Anyone tried the pick up-put down method? If so, does it work? I can't do the "cry it out", I don't have it me! But I'm desperate to try some form of sleep training. Currently, he feeds to sleep (formula fed), or likes to be swayed. He also has a dummy. But he's getting me up 4/5 times a night for re-settling snd I...

Hi mamas, my baby is 12 days old and she did not poop since 2 days also crying in discomfort Any advice

I'm 3 weeks post partum. I've had a low supply from the beginning but the amount seems to be decreasing each pump session. I'd love to continue providing any amount possible for my son. I am supplementing with formula too. Any tips how to keep the milk flowing?

Hi mamas, my daughter is turning 9 months soon and me and my husband have started considering to try for a second baby because we both want them close in age and we want only 2 kids so it would make sense and i would rather do the whole newborn / prior to toddler “phase”, “struggle” etc in one go rather than wait so...

I want my little one to take expressed breast milk to nursery but I'm finding it hard to express much these days presumably as my milk supply has decreased with time as she feeds less. Any tips for increasing my supply so I can pump more???

Hello mommas I’m currently 30wks and 3days my breast have been leaking while I sleep I’m curious to know when should I start collecting colostrum and how do I collect it I’ve heard of other mommas collecting colostrum by a syringe but how do I go about it and when thank you in advance

My LO is 6.5 weeks and I’m not sure what time I should be putting him to bed for the night. He’s currently waking up for the day between 4&5am 😴

I've been having real trouble getting my LO up to weight he's 5 weeks on Tuesday and was still under birth weight last week and im not hopeful for this week. I fear I'm not getting him enough and he's already on two bottles at night . I just want some moral support from others who've had to swap to formula, it's ju...

Hello! I wonder if anyone can help.....my LG loves her sleep bag. It seems she sees it as a queue for sleep.....but now the weather is warmer I tried to put her down in just a vest (the room was about 25 degrees) and she seemed asleep and content but as soon as I moved her to her next to me she just screamed. Even p...

My baby girl has been constipated with a belly ache for like 3-4 days now! She gets fed 2 times a day in homemade purees and breastmilk only. What can I do? I gave her some gripe water earlier I feel so bad :(

I first want to state that we’ve never used the “cry it out” method. But does anyone else’s little one weird and have to scream and shout to let you know they are frustrated about being sleepy before falling asleep ?? We can put a bottle in their mouth, give them cuddles or anything else and they still just scream ...

My girl can throw a good one! How are people going about dealing with them? I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing - we distract, redirect. She will also pinch and sometimes bite when another takes her toy or she can’t articulate what she’s wanting. I’m so fucking tired of the whining and body throwing 😬 I get…

7 week baby boy dropped from 46th to 34th percentile. Is that normal? He seems to have reflux and sometimes vomits a lot of curdled milk but up until now there has been no concern from the midwife or family doc. He’s gaining weight and gained around 600grams in 20 days but the percentile dropped so I’m getting worr...

My little girl will sleep through the night from 7.30/8pm until til around 7/8am she does wake around 1 and 5 but only for her dummy which I don’t mind doing. However her naps during the day are only 30 mins long but after 40-60 mins sometimes she can be tired again like she is not having enough. I tried lengthenin...

I want to collect some milk overnight by expressing a little to relieve engorgement. I was thinking to pop it in the fridge and then I want to mix it together and freeze it in a bag in the morning. However, is that ok to keep it in the fridge for few hours before freezing?

Desperately trying to figure out what is wrong, or what I’m doing wrong. My 8 month old used to sleep so well, in their own cot, for a 7-8 hour stint, have a feed and back down. For the last month, I don’t think I’ve got more than 3 hours sleep a night. Baby just will not stay in their cot for more than 5 mins. Unle...

So I’m just wondering what people do when drinking alcohol whilst having a breastfed baby do they pump to make enough milk whilst they’re drinking? Do they sell breastfeed whilst drinking making sure that they’re not pissed whilst breastfeeding? How much alcohol actually goes into a breastfeed baby ?

So my milk has just come in and my boobs are rock hard, leaking and sooooo sore. I am offering my baby breast at every feed but he isn’t really taking it at the moment. I don’t have a breast pump yet. If I wait a few days is the pain going to get worse??
