I had a very difficult birth. I planned for a homebirth, but two weeks before, I developed sciatica and hip pain that required crutches. When my waters broke, In labour experienced intense contractions within mins, but no dilation for four days—only excruciating hip pain. I ended up needing an emergency C-section. T...

Baby is 3 month old, EBF. I am going back to work next month, so I want to express milk so that dad can feed when I am not at home. The first attempt was a disaster - baby cried the lungs out and fell asleep with an empty belly. Any advice?

Hi, im looking for a hands free breast pump. Mom cozy brand is way out of my budget. Do you guys know any good ones? For a cheaper price? I just saw this ones for 35 dlls but they’re from shein so I don’t trust that much lol even tho the reviews are good.

Hello, I had a planned section yesterday and got home this evening. Baby will not settle. He won’t stay in his next to me crib. So I’m sat up with him. I’m trying to breast feed and he seems to be wanting feeding every hour. I’m sure he’s trying to get use to his surroundings. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Y’ALL why am I just now trying this? If you’re breastfeeding I cannot recommend the side lying position enough- especially for the late night/early morning feed. Like, why did no one tell me?? 😅

My son is turning 1 tomorrow but I feel like my body hasn’t fully recovered from the pain from breastfeeding pumping or really giving birth. Anyone else feel tension in their neck back shoulders and pelvic floor? I’m doing yoga 2x a week, daily stretches and resting a lot since my son sleeps through the night now bu...

Why are they so goofy 😂 my first refused to latch so he nicely bottle fed. Now this one is EBF and the kid is dancing while latched, flopping around, propping his leg up on my shoulder, anything and everything. Then when they unlatch and they're falling asleep they want to pinch you and yank on your nips. It hurts…

I’m a busty gal and have tried kindred bravely. I can’t jump without my tatas feeling like they’re going to go fly away. I’d like something that doesn’t just support the bottom but the top too. I’m new to having these large breastfeeding boobs.

First time mom here! My daughter is coming close to her first birthday. She drinks breastmilk and food throughout the day. I have an entire freezer stashed away for her and I don't want to throw it and I want to continue with breastmilk. I have a hard time understanding cows milk and why they recommended switching t...

Hey, I've been bottle feeding my baby breast milk and formula, but he hasn't managed to latch on to the breast, so I have to pump and I've been getting less and less each time and today I pumped and I only got a couple of drops today... is there any way to make my milk come back as I've been stressing about it disap...

Hi all. I wonder if you could give me a guesstimate of how much expressed breast milk a baby should consume per hour? My partner and I are due to go out in a few weeks to the theatre so I need to ensure my parents have enough to feed our little one while we are gone. Thank you in advance of any replies!

When is the best time to express milk? Between feeds or during a feed? My baby only drinks from one breast at each feed so left boob now and next feed right boob and so on., I don’t want to increase my supply I just want to keep some of it in freezer for emergencies or outings in case I go somewhere I don’t want to ...

My baby is 19 months and i don't know how to latch her off she cries and cries for the boob and refuses a bottle any tips ?

I have been exclusively breast feeding my 4 week old since birth. I want to introduce a bottle in the next few weeks but need advice on pumping. I plan to combine feed, both breastfeeding and expressed milk from pumping. I have quite a few questions in regards to this. How do I know what flange size is right fo...

Have any moms here successfully breastfed and bottle fed? I am so worried about the sleep deprivation I just think it would be nice for my partner to be able to take over 1-2 feedings at night occasionally and to keep a supply if I’m not going to be around for more than a few hours. I would like to pump and breastfe...

My baby will be 1 in the next couple of months and I’m thinking about stopping breastfeeding. Any mamas who’ve already stopped or also thinking of doing the same?

I haven’t breastfed my toddler since 13ish months. For about a month after we stopped she kept putting her hand in my shirt when I’d rock her to sleep. We broke that habit but now at 18 months she’s doing it again! I really can not stand it. I know that sounds terrible but it’s like the worst feeling for me. Why is ...

Ive narrowed down my breast pump options to these but I don't know which one is the best. Which one would you pick? Pictures in comments ❤️

Hi mumas my 5 1/2m old has her first cold ! Blocked nose occasional cough, and I have noticed today she’s off her milk, had around slightly more than 1/2 of what she usually drinks. Had normal wet and dirty nappies. When do you worry about how much milk they drink? Concerned about dehydration
