Does anyone have any recommendations for nursing bras for bigger boobed girls? I’m naturally a 36G and now my milk has come in I didn’t expect them to get so much bigger! I have bought primark and momcozy and all sorts 😩

My little girl still has a bottle of milk before bed (whilst she’s in bed). The health visitor has said I need to stop this. Does anyone have any advice or tips to stop this? X

I have one of these Tommee Tippee insulated bottle bags and I know refrigerated breast milk is good out of the fridge for a couple of hours, but can they be in these bags for longer? I’ve read that milk can be in cool bags with ice packs for up to 24 hours, but what about without ice packs? Generally, I breast fee...

I went to a church playgroup for the first time today, and out of 15 mums I was the only one BF, I started feeding my boy and one of the mums chimed up that BF mums constantly “show off” they all chirped up with snide remarks, one of them asking if I thought I was better than them for not bottle feeding. The whole o...

Does anyone have this pump? Is it any good?

Baby is combination fed but mostly breastfed. I’ve been told I have a low supply and to be honest I realised this myself before considering baby wasn’t very content after feeds. I just wanted to know if anyone had the same and managed to increase their supply and could provide any tips or advice please? How did you ...

I’ve seen loads of posts similar to this but can’t find them now I want to read the recommendations🙄😂 Does anyone have any recommendations of breast pumps? Ideally hands free and non invasive, it’s the last thing I need for baby and really want to make sure I’m getting a decent one!

I am EBF but not pumping. Is it okay to add whole milk to puree food for weaning?

Currently struggling and conflicted, so would like to learn what other mamas are doing. Feel free to share your long term plans in the comments.

Need some help! I am 28 weeks First time momma and almost got everything just a few last little bits I am planning on breast feeding if all goes well (not putting to much pressure on my self if it fails) But was thinking is it worth -1 ) buying breast pump if it doesn’t go to plan -2) is it worth buying 1 or 2 p...

Good morning everyone. I have an 11month old who is starting her nursery settling in sessions very soon. Alongside her 3 meals a day she is breastfed. Nursery will give formula/cows milk. I just need to tell them how much. Any ideas? I'm also back to work so any tips on how to transition off the boob? My (possib...

Yall I’ve been nursing into the night and now I’m soooooo over being touched constantly! How did yall wean off nursing at night at this age? And possible wean off forever! Did yall do cold turkey?? My daughter understands when I say there’s no more milk but she doesn’t care she just wants to nurse! I need freedom help!

Anyone else’s baby not drink cold milk? My baby would rather starve than drink it cold! Any advice how to get her drinking cold milk? 🫠

When you make us your baby’s rice/porridge do you use milk from the bottle they would have after or do you still make a normal bottle and make a little extra to put with their food?

My milk has come in I’m 4 days pp One breast has a bit of a swollen lump just down under my arm pit. Any one else had this, do I need to go to the doctors? How long till the milk dries up ? Obviously all sorts running through my mind at the moment

Hello mums! My baby is almost 5 months old and has struggled with latching since birth due to forceps delivery and no one telling me that I should’ve been seeing an osteopath right away… he wouldn’t latch at all at the beginning, then latched a little mostly through shields, and then completely rejected my breast. I...

My little one no longer wants to drink milk from bottle morning and evening. She has max 3oz from each bottle. Is this normal? Would you persist trying to offer or would you take it as a cue to wean?

I am currently still breastfeeding my first once a day but planning on stopping this weekend. I am also trying to conceive. Just wondering if the breastfeeding is likely to prevent pregnancy?

Though, since he’s used to feeding frequently, he doesn’t drink as much. How do I get him to actually just go longer without milk so when he does nurse or take a bottle, he drinks more in one sitting?

Will it be okay to have a glass of wine while breastfeeding or should I pump & dump? It’s my first alcoholic drink postpartum so I’m sure I’ll be a little buzzed 😂
