Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

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 😂

My baby is almost 11 months old and now that’s she’s eating more solids she seems to want her bottle less if not at all anymore. Is this normal? Is it time to wean off the bottle or does she continue with the milk for longer? Thank you in advance!

Anyone else baby pinch them with their hands while breastfeeding 😭 my baby is 5 months and recently started doing that and if I stop her she’ll stop eating and it hurts lol

Hi mamas i just got my period for the first time at 12 months postpartum last month. this month i haven’t gotten it and it’s 7 days late. Was your period super irregular when it came back? or did it snap back to normal? or could i be pregnant? (pull out method when we are intimate) i will test anyways when i can but...

I'm due in July, and my son will be 18 months by then. I don't mind breastfeeding and want to continue to. I just want some insight from experienced mamas who have tandem fed. How was your experience with it? Was it just super time consuming? Any and all suggestions/advice please comment. 🙏

Did anyone else’s baby (1 this week) go funny after going onto cows milk? She has a cold anyway so bunged up but seems to be vommiting curlded milk & diarreah I did ask the doctor whether she could be allergic to it however they said she was on formula which had all same things in it.

What wearable pump do you all recommend. I am going to start working and I would need to buy a pump that I can use during the day. I currently have one but its not the best. I need one that will fully empty me, and that doesn't make a lot of noise. ALSO, if you're a pumping momma at work what are your essentials. ...

Every time I hear that I remember that 100 years ago you could get glass breast implants. Not very smart. What really dumb hospital fact can you think of when people reference the past like it was somehow a ton better for everyone's health.

I’m feeling like a failure, I started to breastfeed my newborn. Despite feeling pain I was kept trying, got some help from nurse as well. But baby is very stubborn and doesn’t want to suck properly. One breast is literally rejected, another one sometimes he’s ok with sucking it, sometimes it’s a big NO, NO. I realis...

… but do it anyway? I decided before my daughter was born that I would combi-feed. Formula worked so well for us first time round that I wanted to do it again and I would try BF again. Compared to last time, BF has been so much easier. I have a good supply; she latches well (enough - it’s shallow but it’s there). ...
