My bub is close to 10.5 months and I’m exclusively pumping. My milk has dropped significantly the past month to the point wherein i find myself constantly power pumping (and stressed) just to make sure he has enough milk. I’m pretty good with supplements, food, water etc. He’s been eating ok but he’s quite picky. ...

I had an early April Baby and have been doing a mix of breastfeeding and formula. Sunday morning I pumped and produced the most yet, but then totally dropped off. Yesterday I produced nearly nothing and my husband said my breasts have very quickly gone down in size. Today I pumped every two hours, ate a lot of prote...

Struggling First time csection mama. I can only formula feed and I’m feeding my baby rn and I’m crying and feeling so sad I can’t connect with her and it’s affecting me. But she’s healthy and growing and I’m so happy.

I’m 11 weeks postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. I’ve noticed some blood not sure if it’s my period. I thought you get your period once you stop breastfeeding. When did you get your period while breastfeeding?

FTM here… What do we do when we get a crack in our nipple? Two nights ago while baby boy was nursing on my right side, it was super “pinchy”(if that makes sense). Then today, it was the same pinching feeling while he was latched and noticed what looks like a cut on the side. I put some breastmilk on it, as well as s...

I bought my little one a tommie tippee cup to drink water from but due to her strong gag reflex, it just made her almost choke and be really quite sick after using it :( I just wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations. She is 7 months old but still on size 2 Mam teats when bottle feeding (I’ve tried size 3 ...

Someone please tell me if my anxious brain is taking over but I'm so frustrated. I got home from work at 3:45pm and my son has had breast milk and puffs today. My husband seemed to get moody when I immediately went and made him a PB&j that he took 2 bites of 🤷🏼‍♀️. He's not great at eating and maybe that's just how…

Currently 8 weeks pp and experiencing some bleeding. I'm exclusively breastfeeding, how soon did you get your period?

I’m finding it hard to fit X4 7oz bottles , plus breakfast lunch & dinner in between naps. Then there’s also a lot of wastage of milk & food happening. How much is your baby having?

Hello! I am going to try my 6 week old on a bottle tonight. I have only taken 1.5oz out freezer - is that enough just to see what he thinks of the bottle or am I better to take more out freezer and do it tomorrow once defrosted? X

I’m 10 months pp and still don’t have my period back. I got it back at 6 months pp with my first. I don’t really understand my cycle right now. All I know is that I’ve been looking real shiny and cute the last few days so I must be in my follicular phase if it’s still even happening 🤣

None of my bras from before I was pregnant fit and I don't want to keep using nursing bras, especially since I am no longer breastfeeding. I was not a big fan of the bras I had before and I'm looking for something that is supportive and has some coverage. I am probably around a DD now. Any recommendations would be g...
