Breastfeeding

My newborn is 11 days old now and I’m currently breastfeeding. I have frozen colostrum from when I was pregnant. When and how should I give my newborn the colostrum? I don’t want it to go to waste.

My 4 week old is constantly on the breast. Or almost always. It always takes over 1h for him to feed till he feels satisfied, and sometimes over 2.5h. We had suspected issues because of tongue tie which we had snipped last Wednesday, but still no change. I have been concerned that baby is taking so long on breast b...

Why is it comforting for my breastfeeding baby to touch my other nipple while eating? It’s so uncomfortable and can hurt at times

So my MIL and SIL found these baby bunnies on our property while I was preoccupied with other things. So they decided to take my frozen breast milk and feed it to the bunnies without my permission. I've stopped producing milk for a while now and those were milks I used for when he is sick. I would have let her use i...
