Hello, FTM here so everything is new to me! I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my nipples have like a crusty white/cream residue on the tip. I don’t really wear bras all the time and can’t say I’ve noticed any leaking on my clothes but how can I tell that my boobs are just leaking milk or if I s...
I'm using voice to text because I am with baby, and I don't want her to rush to the phone whenever she sees the phone in my hand. But I wanted to ask how many times per day you guys breastfeed your babies? I've noticed today that if I go a long time between giving her boo it's a 4 hours she tends to eat more food. S...
I’ve started a birth control patch at 8 weeks postpartum and it seems that my milk supply is not the same. The side effects of the birth control mentioned this is a possibility. Any tips on how to improve milk supply?
My little boy is still feeding at least every 1.30-2 hours. I’m trying with weaning and offering food but he just grazes but will happily take milk after barely eating the food. Anyone else still breastfeeding so often?
has anyone thats breastfeeding actually lost weight because of it? and when did you start to see a change? it doesn’t seem to be working for me lol
I would really like an electric hands free breastpump! I tried the momcozy m5 one but it didn’t work after the first use and I ended up returning. What is everyone’s favourite brands that have worked for 10 months+ ? I’d like to breastfeed for 24 months (I’m on 7 weeks atm) and want a pump that’ll last as much of...
Has anybody tried giving their breast fed baby breast milk in a cup? My baby refuses the bottle and I'm desperately trying anything as we have a wedding to go to in 3 months where babies aren't allowed. I've seen online that medela do one, has anybody tried this? TIA
I breastfed my daughter for 21 months, so hoping to do the same for my second baby (due next month). I used nipple cream in the first few months- especially as she was born with tongue tie so it was very painful until we had it separated. This time round, I’m considering getting some silver cups as heard these are...
I’m almost 7 months pregnant and my bf and the father of my child had another kid (little girl) in a previous relationship. So all of his experience with pregnancy and being a father comes from that kid and that woman. Today I saw something about putting cereal and rice in a babies bottle. I learned that the only re...
so me and my partner the other day was saying how the nipple area of our baby boy is huge and we sort of joked it off thinking that was just his build but I was just properly looking and I’m not actually sure if this is normal? It almost looks as if it’s swollen but both sides are the same so I’m not sure??
What is everyone giving milk and she will take water from the 360 cup but not milk. I’ve also tried the munchkin transition cup - pic attached. She also won’t take it from a timer tippy sippy cup. I’m thinking of something that’s maybe more similar to a normal bottle?? She’s currently still having it from her dr b...
Hello, I was wondering when it’s ok to introduce a dummy? I’ve been told it’s good for breastfeeding babies to reduce SIDs but not to do it until milk is established?
My baby is sleeping 5-6 hours at the start of the night (very lucky I know (also know it most likely won’t last)) should I be pumping during this time to stop any drop in my supply? Any of you in the same boat? Baby feeds every 2-3 hours apart from that one chunk If you do pump, best affordable pump?
Hey, since a couple months I’ve noticed that one boob is significantly bigger than the other. I do feed from both, and was wondering if anyone else experiencing something similar? 🫢
Wondering whether to give up breastfeeding as my baby couldn’t be less bothered. It’s now an effort to get him on, then he either starts chatting with my boob in his mouth or constantly pulls away, looks around. I’ve missed a feed a few times by accident and he wasn’t at all fussed. I had really wanted to go to 18 m...
So I’ve been hand expressing my colostrum which with one side is going amazing but the other I’m struggling to get much out of. Is this normal or is there something I can do??
Helpppp because this is upsetting me. I have reached out to my local lactation people for advice. What can I do about her choking on my breast after just a few minutes of feeding?
Hi, I breastfeed my baby and for the last month or so he has no interest in having milk. He lasts minutes on the breast. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm a bit worried as I know milk is still their main form of nutrition. Thanks!
10 weeks out, exclusively breastfeeding, and just got my period?! You’re kidding ?! Anyone else have my awful luck or just me??
My son is 4 weeks old and I’m struggling a lot today. His crying has upped over the past week and some days I feel like all he does is cry and feed over and over. I am breastfeeding and today he’s been on me for hours. I am worried he’s not getting full as he bobs on and off my boobs and sometimes I switch him left...
