Hello, my baby turned 4 weeks yesterday and all i have done for the past 4 weeks is beastfeed and change nappies. I am not joking she literally wants to be on the boob 24/7. Is this normal? Everytime she feeds for 20/30mins with maximum 45mins break and thats the max. Do I have not enough milk because when she is no...

I am 31 days postpartum, and I feel like I keep seeing all of these videos of these women having a huge over supply, and I'm just getting enough for my daughter… I've been taking any and all advice on how to increase my supply but I don't have enough to even get me a day ahead letalone feeding one or two sessions ah...

Hey! my baby is on the first cow and gate, i’m pretty certain back when she was born the HV or midwife (can’t remember which one) said to stick to that until 1 then wean onto blue milk instead of changing to the follow on 6m+ milk as it’s pointless. Is that what most people do?

Hello guys, so I had a small freezer stash but fridge door was accidentally left a little open over night causing breakmilk to thaw a bit.. is it safe to still use or should I throw out? The milk froze again after we properly closed the door

Those who are still breastfeeding, how many times are you breastfeeding a day?

Going back to work in May and plan to continue breastfeeding. Do I ask for a pumping break or do I just let my body adjust to making less? It might be completely irrational but a part of me feels sad about having less milk?

Yesterday my right boob started really hurting when I fed baby in the night it hurt so much I was crying and gripping the bed , today is still hurts so much but if I don’t get the milk out it over flows and hurts much more I keep having electric shocks feelings go through my boob , I also just have flu like symptoms

How much milk is your LO drinking?

Has anyone else struggled 10 days into breastfeeding? My lo has been latching well until tonight, he had a bottle of expressed breast milk earlier on today and now I feel like his latch is too shallow. I can also usually hear the flow of milk as he drinks but can’t hear anything so worried my milk may have also redu...

Ladies, my LO is 4 weeks old. Breastfeeding has been hit and miss but we are on the right track now. However, when I put him on the boob now, he is restless on there, tosses and turns and kicks and screams before latching. When he latches he stays; but if he loses grip of the latch, it’s the same unsettled behaviour...

Do you randomly squeeze your boobs during the day to make sure there’s milk in there still?

I’m 5 months pp and exclusively breastfeeding. I was hoping that my period would keep away a bit longer but unfortunately it’s made an appearance today. Has anyone else had there’s appear yet?

Has anyone tried giving their LO milk from a sippy cup or another container other than a bottle? My baby is EBF and will not take a bottle. I’ve tried loads of different types and teets and I’m at my wits end. It’s really starting to affect me mentally and I’m struggling. I love BF my first but he would also take ...

Hi, so I’ve been continuously breastfeeding my baby up until now that he’s 15 months old. Recently I cut the feeds down to two, naptime and bedtime. He slept through the night for the past month or so. He’s been away from me one night only last weekend. My partner (then) wanted to take him to see his family for a we...

Okay, so when my daughter was first born she struggled to latch and we had to stay in the hospital for the first few days so she was having formula and I didn’t pump until getting home a good few days later. I never had enough to exclusively breastfeed so would give her formula and once I had enough for a bottle of ...

So I will be returning back to work in one week and I am a bit nervous. This will be the first time I have been away from My Baby Girl all day and I am a breast-feeding Mama. My baby girl will be two months as I go back to work. How do you guys go about supplying the bottles during the day? how many bottles should I...

Hey guys, I am needing some help! I am 8 days PP and my milk is still barely coming in. I am producing about 1oz or less each pump session with both breast combined. I am trying to follow all suggestions of pumping every 2/3 hours and breast feeding baby every 2/3 hours.. however her latch is poor she does not open ...

Anyone breastfeeding and trying to lose weight? I want to start by saying I am an exclusive pumper. I am not an under supplier however I’m not exactly an over supplier either. I make enough for about 2 bottles per pump if all is well. I wanted to start working out to lose weight after birth but I’ve heard that yo...
