Just curious… has your period come back?

Hellooooo might be a stupid question I am breastfeeding my 5mo and just found out I’m pregnant can I continue to breastfeed or will that cause issues during my pregnancy. I’ve been reading that pumping can cause issues but I pump while I’m at work for my son. Do I need to switch him to formula?

Is it ok to drink protein powder while BF?? Could you guys recommend lactation safe protein powder please

Hi all. This is kind of a strange question to ask. I stopped breastfeeding my now two year and 3 months old son probably when he was about 18 months old. He doesn't look for me to breastfeed him, but he does try get under my shirt to play with my nipples. I'm not sure what that's about. Anyone have any insight?

I’m two months postpartum and the condom broke.. I haven’t gotten a period yet and I’m breast feeding

My one year old is starting nursery next week. She still breastfeeds and won't go near cows milk/formula. She isn't a fussy eater when it comes to solids but isn't great either. Pumping doesn't work for me. She only falls asleep when there's boobs in her mouth I'm worried how will she cope being in the nursery for ...

Hi everyone! My LO is 6 weeks old and exclusively breast fed. I want to pump to increase my supply but not really sure how to go about it as I’m always scared I am going to pump milk he ends up wanting as his feeding pattern is quite varied!

I've got a 7.5 week old and barely leave the house because I am feeding him on demand and his routine is all over the place. I can't ever leave because I can't predict when his next feed might be. I manage to go on short local walks so I can head home if needed, but in his 2 months of life I've not popped to the sho...

I’ve always EBF I’m now returning to work and my partner wants to give our baby formula whilst I’m away since it’s easier to use the pre prepared bottle for on the go. I’ve got pumped breast milk in the freezer but I get that it’s more of a hassle as it only lasts so long when out. It feels very silly/ arbitrary but...

I know this has been asked before but I cannot find the previous threads. What type of milk are we giving our babies now?

Why do they tell us to transition from breast/formula on to cows milk at 12 months but then this is saying they should stop having milk at the same age? I'm just wondering when my toddler should stop having milk before bed because she's really not fussed with it anymore

I’m going back to work in a couple of months and baby is EBF and I have no idea how I’m going to wean her off in time? She doesn’t take a bottle and I’ll have no time to pump or anywhere to store my milk whilst at work

Hi all, My LO is almost 8 months now and he keeps biting my nipple at every feed, I’m so scared to feed him haha. I have tried so many things like: saying ow, yelping, pushing face into boob, saying no, immediately stopping the feed and putting him down, unlatching. It doesn’t matter what I do he just laughs at m...

Any good or bad experiences with pumping and 🍃

I have a really ignorant question. I bought a book to teach my baby sign language, but the illustration of how to sign 'milk' confused me. I looked it up online and found a different sign for milk. The book says it goes by bsl standards. Which sign should I use? Is there a difference between bsl and baby bsl? Sorry...

Hi I am a FTM and need some encouragement or to hear other’s experiences. I am exclusively breastfeeding my 2 month old baby boy and still feel a little uncomfortable breastfeeding in public.
