Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

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

Ok…. So… every so often my LG will have a bottle BUT I always forget to pump in ‘replacement’ of this bottle feed and I’m scared I’ll loose my supply or it dip AGAIN How can I remind myself to pump when she has a bottle 😮‍💨😩 (also I’ve tried pumping every so many hours and the alarms don’t work I switch them off…

Hey everyone, I’m reaching out for some support and kind words. I’ve had a really tough time with milk supply and sore, cracked nipples with all five of my kids. Thankfully, with my fifth (who’s now 5 weeks old), I discovered silver cups, and they’ve been a game-changer! They healed my nipples in just 48 hours—no pa...

What breast pump are we most leaning towards? I’ve yet to do my own research yet, and would love to know what people have chosen and why! 🩷🩵

3 and half month, exclusively BF no problems before. Over the last week baby has suddenly started resisting feeds. When I go to feed her she screams at the top of her lungs, it makes BF physically impossible I've had to express and she takes this absolutely fine. Bit of background she is on gaviscon and hasn't poo...

I’m currently EBF and want to start expressing so I can give my son a bottle once a day to get him use to bottles and my husband would really like to feed him even if it’s once a day. I’m looking at breast pumps and don’t know where to start as I’m only wanting to express one feed worth. Is there any you recommend t...

My baby keeps bringing up curdled milk even hours after a feed is this normal? She’s 3 months old.

I’m leaving my 10 month old from 11-5 on Saturday. He is breastfed and I still feed on demand throughout the day. When he isn’t with me he feeds less (left him max 3 hours) but I’ve never left him for 6 hours. Is 6 hours too long without milk at 10 months? I can try and pump but it’s just faf 😂 he does eat and…

I want to start gradually reducing breastfeeding from now on. We’ve been EBF since birth and I’ve been expressing but it’s been a really difficult journey. I wanted to wait until 3 months but I feel like now is the time to start switching to formula as I’m feeling resentful and I want to start building structure in ...

Hi everyone - looking for some advice, I'm thinking of stopping breastfeeding at 3 months PP and not sure if the guilt is going to consume me. Little girl has always nursed at night, and I've pumped in the day and given expressed bottles since about 2 weeks old. It's going well and we supplement x1 bottle of formula...

Can someone tell me why my almost 8 week old is still feeding every 1.5-2 hours if that in the day 😭 the longest she’ll go without feeding is 2.5 hours. She is breastfed only but still, I feel like when she was a couple weeks old she was going for longer without feeds. Does it mean she’s not getting enough milk in…

So I give birth in a month to my little baby girl, and I’m going to try to strictly breast-feed, I am extremely nervous as when I tried to breast-feed with my son. I was not producing enough and had to supplement with formula if any mom on here have some adviceon how they their production please let me know

I just want to get this off of my chest as it's weighing me down, but I planned to exclusively use breastmilk, mainly through breastfeeding but also pumping. It has not gone that way at all and I'm feeling so, so guilty. First 3 days in hospital with baby were just breastfeeding, and every midwife who came in correc...

Im trying to decide on a Breast pump and could use some help! My mom (a former lactation consultant) recommends the Medela pump, my current lactation consultant recommends the Ameda, but I’m reading a lot online saying the lansinoh is super versatile and it comes with an app that easily tracks pumping. I’m hoping so...

I EBF my 4m baby (he is big for age) how much should I pump for each bottle feed?

Just wondered how your little ones feed on the bottle. I'm using mam bottles my 12wk old. She will have 5oz and take between 3/4oz from the the bottle stop then doesn't want anymore turn her head she may come back to it after 30mins. She always seems quite happy after her feeds. Just wondered if any other mum's ...

My little one rarely eats between 10pm and 6am but I’ve been getting up to pump. I’m hoping to stop that soon but I don’t want it to affect my milk supply. Are you all still pumping or feeding in the middle of the night?

Girls what are your feeding schedules like for milk and solids? Struggling over here to know when to drop bottles ect x
