I've been trying hard to ebf my little girl and I've been making just enough milk for her (my husband gives her a bottle of formula if he has to feed her while I sleep for a little while) but I've been trying to pump after I feed her and almost nothing comes out. I'm taking supplements, drinking the drinks to make m...
Our son is one month old and over the last couple of days there have been times he's been impossible to settle. He is often pulling straining faces and breaking wind during these unsettled times so I'm thinking maybe he's having digestion issues? I'm a first time mum so no idea if this is normal or not. He seems to ...
Hi! Wondering if anyone has any tips about getting my baby back to the boob. At the end of October my baby started totally refusing to breastfeed. I initially was very upset about it and began pumping. I now pump 5 times a day (every 3 or 4 hours) and even stay up at night to do the last two. I have done this fo...
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and struggling to sleep anyone got any suggestions on how to sleep better and be able to actually get to sleep 💤
Hi ladies! 35 +1 here and no signs of colostrum which is fine because I read that most women do not produce it pre birth. So if you don’t produce it now, what do you actually feed your baby with once they are born? Do you go straight to formula then BF after your milk comes in? First time mom to be here so needs adv...
What’s your mom super power? I can’t hear. I literally have hearing damage and can’t hear well when people talk to me. Yet I can always hear my baby. I know my baby’s sounds and can hear him from far away with background noise when others around me who typically hear way better can’t hear him.
My daughter is 3 weeks old almost a month now is only breastfed and I’ve noticed she has really bad gas. It causes her to refuse to eat and basically just shart for over an hour. I’ve tried gas drops and bicycle legs burping after every feed and during the day that seems to help somewhat but I feel bad she’s in pain...
Could you share recommendations for newborn baby beds (could be next to me, moses etc.) you’ve used and found practical? I’m looking for options that babies have enjoyed using so far. I plan to keep the baby in the same bedroom with me for about a year. I’m also thinking if using a travel cot that can also be used f...

I understand sometimes breastfeeding doesn't work out, but throughout my pregnancy midwives and health visitor would ask "are you planning to breastfeed or bottle feed?" Which led me to wonder, why on earth would someone *choose* to bottle feed without first giving breastfeeding a try?
I’m struggling, I’m a FTM with a nearly 5 month old and I can barely get out of bed unless it’s to tend to her needs (bathing, playmat/tummy time, feeding etc) apart from that I don’t want to move, I’m on anti-depressants and I just feel this overwhelming feeling of regret for bringing my daughter into this world an...
Hi everyone I was just wondering what teat size everyone is using? I'm currently using MAM bottles and was wondering what signs to look out for to move up to the next teat
We have an appointment for our 9-12 month health visitor check tomorrow and I’m so anxious, I don’t know why. I’m just dreading it and feel like im gonna be judged or told my baby isn’t doing as well as they should be.
