My little boy is 5.5months and has two teeth. He’s exclusively breastfed and has now started biting my nipple when feeding. It’s not often but it’s starting to really hurt! How long will this last and how do I get him to stop 😅

So my little girl is 14 months old and EBF and lately I’ve had comments from a few different people asking why and when I’m going to stop breastfeeding. Has anyone else had this from others? Personally I’m going to stop when my girl is ready. But it feels like others either have a problem with it or are judging me...

I have a cold with severe nasal congestion and runny nose. What OTC medicines are safe to use while breastfeeding? I want to breath clearly, just for a while! Thank you!

Is it 4 days in fridge or 8 days? I always thought it was 4, but nhs says 8? But I never heard of it being kept that long

Hi everybody, I'm breastfeeding my baby for 8 months now. He doesn't take bottles, only cups. And I'm tired. I love my baby, but his teeth are hurting, and his moves a lot. Any advice?

Is anyone happy to share their experiences with breastfeeding through pregnancy? I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 My little one is 28 months and is feeding 3 times a day usually, but I’m really struggling with discomfort from tender nipples and aversion. I’m worried I won’t enjoy breastfeeding the new baby 😞…

So I've just finished breastfeeding after 10 months, and my breasts are looking so sad. They look significantly smaller, flatter, and let's just say it as it is, saggier :( I'm not even sure a good bra could do them any justice :( Is this it? Or do they go back to how they were?

Hello beautiful mums, just need suggestions on expressing milk to keep my milk supply going. I feel like Im not producing enough and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. I want to express milk but between feeding my baby. What would you recommend so that I also have enough milk coming when my bub is hungry

We had a rocky start with breastfeeding so I’ve also been pumping and topping up with formula. At the moment I can get her to latch only using nipple shields and only when I give her 30ml in a bottle first. I see lots of people saying breastfeeding is really hard, it takes time, etc. maybe I’m just being impatient...

I’m currently exclusively breastfeeding my 8 month old and looking to introduce a cup to get her used to not being on the boob in preparation for nursery in 4 months time. Trying to skip the bottle stage and use a sippy cup. Any tips?

Since Friday I think I have had a blocked milk duct, it’s a hard lump by the side of my boob next to the armpit. I’ve tried pumping, putting baby on, massage, cold and hot compress, hot shower and nothing has helped. It’s not red or swollen so I’m not too worried about it atm but it is very uncomfortable. Going to s...

How did y’all do it? I’m struggling over here. My baby will scream until she gets to latch on. She won’t drink any other milk. She will throw her bottle or cup lol

I am on a weekend away and have pumped while I’m here and frozen it, and I am wanting to take it home with me so I’m putting it in a cool bag with an ice pack to keep it cold. I’m going on a flight so feel like it may defrost by the time I get home. It’s in sealed bags and will hopefully still be cold so can I just...

I'm three weeks postpartum pumping and bottle feeding.. I have had a painful lump in my right breast. I tried breast massage, and it actually got worse... getting really painful really fast.. warm showers haven't helped either Any suggestions on how to treat it at home?

Does anyone else’s baby have milk coming out of their nose while feeding? Is it reflux or a bad latch? She is 4 months, will it continue or stop?

Anyone else got the milk panic back again at 7 weeks? Not sure if it's just coincidence but I was expressing 2 bottles a day of 120-130ml for dad to give and our LG was finishing it the last couple of days and needing a boob top up too so we decided to increase to 150ml. Ever since making that decision literally a ...

Hey, how's everyone doing ? My newborn is 13 days old, a little boy. We are currently breastfeeding, I have a heavy flow and feel like I'm drowning baby every time I feed. I feel like I knew what to expect but wow I'm learning every day. Milk out the nose!!! I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this? Google is my...

When did everyone have their first period when breastfeeding? And were they regular after this? I had my first period at 11 weeks pp, and I was due my 2nd period 7 days ago and still no sign of it. Is it normal to be irregular?

My little one is 4 weeks old and EBF. I didn’t have any issues with her latching before but it is getting difficult as she weighs more causing my arms to ache and I feel I can’t hold her long enough to get a good latch. I’ve tried using a BF pillow but can’t get it in the right place for it to do anything. I normall...
