Breastfeeding

I’m going to be quite vulnerable but I need to just get this all out! It will also be quite long but any advice or your own experiences are greatly appreciated! I had my little one by emergency C-Section on the 24th and have had a really rocky start. My induction took 5 days and was in one day prior so was alread...

Hi, I had my LO at 37 weeks. I’m currently in the hospital as she needed antibiotics. I’ve been breastfeeding for the past 24 hrs and made sure to not let it get past 2 hrs before she had a feed but now I’m being told I need to pump and top up with formula because she’s 37 weeks even though she’s had plenty of dirty...

Whenever my baby feeds there seems to be a lot of let down. My boobs produce way more milk than he needs and he almost ends up choking on it from how fast it’s coming. I try and give him rests in between but he gets so sleepy feeding and it’s literally impossible to wake him up. Advice? X

Hi lovely ladies. I wanted to check if anyone else is in the same boat. My baby is now 5 days old and is not on formula as my milk was not enough for him. I wanted to do both bottle and breast but he is not latching on 😞 I tried so many times and different positions but he is refusing. I’m pumping but I’m so…

Did any of you girls did a protein shake diet during breastfeeding to lose weight? I mean replace 2 meal with the shakes, it is safe? Did effect milk supply? I’m 9 months into breastfeeding and I can’t lose weight so I’m think to go on this route, any suggestions? Thank you

So my EBF baby took a man bottle at 2 weeks no issue but suddenly at 6 weeks is refusing anything we offer, bottles and dummy alike. I have tried a mam bottle and a cheap bottle from b&m baby event, dummy’s we have tried mam, tommee tippee breastfeeding, tommee tippee cherry tip, nuk and the nuk breastfeeding ones a...

So, i stopped pumping at 11w pp. I'm now 17w pp and still producing milk, so I figured I'd go back to pumping, build my supply back up. WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME PUMP PARTS GOTTA BE REPLACED??? Ohhhh but pumping and nursing is free. BRUH.

Just handy to get an idea as we're on anything between 4-6 times in 24 hours.

For those with little ones about to turn 2 or already have. Are yours still on blue top milk? And if so how many oz per bottle? My little one is 2 in two weeks and still has 9oz of blue top before bed and in the morning. Is this too much? Should I swap to green top?! X

I’m 36 weeks atm and I’m trying to decide whether to get a pump before baby is here or wait until I establish breastfeeding. I would like to eventually pump to have a supply that my partner could help with feeds but not sure what to do. Anyone any advice or recommendations on what they did.

I’m thinking about stopping breastfeeding.. I’m way too stressed out taking care of baby plus cleaning up after everyone including myself. I’m not producing much and my baby is getting rashes. I’m starting to think it’s something I’m eating but I’m wayyy too tired to change my diet. Am I being selfish? When have yal...

Hi mamas. Is anyone exclusively pumping and feeding baby that way? How much are you little ones having pet feed? I’m solely pumping, not adding any formula to it or doing any on the boob. My little one is 2 1/2 weeks old and for the first time before bed had a total of 120ml in his feed. This week we’ve been...

Hi! My son is 15 months and I’m very ready to start weaning off breastfeeding, it’s been very challenging as it’s a comfort for both him and I. Not only that but he refuses to sleep unless he is breastfeed. It’s been great but I have no idea how to start the transition. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hi! Just a bit of background, with my first pregnancy i leaked constantly from about 30 weeks and was successful in harvesting colostrum on multiple occasions i then went on to successfully breastfeed with no issues. Im now pregnant with baby no 2 (about 2 years since finishing breastfeeding) I’m 37 weeks pregnan...

I'm still building confidence to BF publicly, but found the Family Room in the Oracal an amazing spot to feed while out. Where else in town are there dedicated spaces for babies to feed and change?

I want to buy a portable pump but I don’t want to buy it and not like it and not able to return it… any tips on how I can get around this or solutions
