Our pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start transitioning our 11.5 month old to milk and I have some questions. We are introducing a straw sippy cup with her milk once a day, but here’s my wonder. How are we transitioning our babies from warm milk to cold? Any tips or advice?

So my almost 7 month old has now started to bite down on my nipple (has no teeth) and then yanks back while holding the nipple between his gums. He’s not drinking at all and I don’t know what to do, I tried both boobs and he does it to both sides.

I’ve seen the feeding nurse and she said babies latch is perfect but I’m still getting the initial latch pain which is very very painful, only lasts about 10-15 seconds but when does this go away? It’s been two weeks now?

Is there any mamas in need of some breastmilk? I have over 100oz of frozen breastmilk that I would like to donate. I have looked into milk banks & it’s definitely a very long process to be approved as a doner! I will still do it but I wanted to see if I can donate directly to a mama in need first xx

I’ve just started using the Medela Swing Maxi hands free pump as I’m having to exclusively pump for our little one due to weight loss (she’s 8 days old at the moment).

My toddler is now 20 months and still breastfeeding on demand.. to be honest I wish I could stop but have no idea how as he's so attached. Tonight I have been breastfeeding/comfort feeding because he's poorly.. he's basically using me as a dummy and every time I try to get him off, he's a screaming, crying hysterica...

I've not long started combi feeding my 5 week old with just one bottle of formula a day along with breastfeeding but I've noticed she seems to have gone really unsettled on me whilst breastfeeding fussing, crying and spitting up and her gas seems to be worse but when my hubby feeds her the formula she seems more con...

Mamas! Question? How long do you breastfeeding your baby from each other ages 0-12months to keep your milk supply flowing? Also with pumping how often are you supposed to be pumping from babies ages to keep your supply flowing? I usually pump everyday I wake up that’s around 8 to 9am she’s only 1 week old 1 day. I d...

Has anyone little one had a milk allergy? What were the signs and symptoms like for your little one? How long did it take you to get the drs to listen to you?

I have had a clogged duct for about a week. It has became been painful and red last few days. No fever. I called the doctors and they gave me dicloxacillin. I’ve been take hot showers and then breastfeeding and massaging but it hasn’t helped. Any advice? They said the medication is safe forr breastfeeding.

If you little one still has milk/formula before bed do you clean teeth before or after milk? We were doing it before as part of the bedtime routine, bath, teeth, book, milk, bed, but I’m not sure how good that is for her teeth but worried if I change it will wake her up! Help! What’s everyone else doing?
