Just wondering if anyone else has this problem…. Hi guys🫶🏼 My 7 week old has been EBF and I’d say for the last 2 weeks halfway through most feeds she’ll start crying loads and pull off my breast. She’ll latch back on but seconds later come off again and it’s just constantly on and off. I’ll try the other boob and…

My BF journey has come to an end and I Nursed my baby for the last time on Friday morning. We’d gradually cut down over the past few weeks and were comfortably on one feed a night. Now it’s Sunday night, my boobs are still feeling full and sore and I’ve only hand-expressed an oz or two to ease the pain. Any mums who...

Does your little one still have a bottle of milk?

I want to primarily breast feed but I also would like to pump too so that my partner can bond with baby girl when she’s feeding, when should I start pumping and how often?

Baby had 5 day checkup today and had lost more weight than expected. I’d been trying to exclusively breastfeed which was challenging anyway but when my milk came in, my nipples changed too much for baby to latch and there was also way too much milk for her so she kept slipping away. The midwife suggested I exclusi...

Hey ladies - my little boy just turned one last week. I’m still breastfeeding but it’s mostly to put him to sleep and occasionally during the night. He averages between 1-4 feeds a day (depends on the day but it’s mostly 2) I’m finding the pain in my breasts really difficult I’m going between 15-20 hours sometimes...

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone else hasn't gotten their period yet. I haven't been having the safest of sex but I breastfeed.... wondering if I'm fine or should maybe go get a test. Thanks!!!

My LO is 12 weeks and has been exclusively breastfed. I would like to go out here and there without her but I’ve introduced bottle (mam) and she refuses. I’m wondering if there is a better bottle that mimics a nipple best or a method to introduce to help her take bottle ?

I’m deciding between these options, which does your baby prefer? Open to more suggestions! I’m leaning towards Phillips Avent but not sure. We used MAM with our twins but they were formula fed so weren’t transitioning between breast and bottle. I want to introduce 1-2 bottles expressed breast milk so I can get more ...

This has been really upsetting for me. I just don’t think that she should be stopping milk at only 2. It all started 3 days before we went j on holiday. She’d only drink small amounts. So we went on holiday and we thought she didn’t like the milk there, this is a whole 7 days without milk!! At this point we couldn’t...

Hello! I'm hoping for some advice if anyone has some, which I'm sure all you lovely mama's do :) My lil bebe has been exclusively breastfed, apart from some pumped bottles in the first few weeks when her dad was off work. Now she is getting older I am starting to think about leaving her with family etc and I have ...

For those who continued to breastfeed after their babies first birthday, how many times a day/night were you feeding? And did you introduce cows milk too? I’m going back to work three days a week so can’t offer milk all day but I was just curious how it could work

I had my daughter August 2024* and I am still breastfeeding her. I came on my period 1 month after having my daughter and I decided to go on contraception (the pill) as I was not looking to have another baby anytime soon. I stopped taking the pill as I was becoming very tired every single day and me and my partner w...

I like breastfeeding don’t get me wrong but it’s so hard to go anywhere I usually pump before going anywhere and while I’m out at least once depending on how long I’m out but by the time I make it home to pump again they are so full and I have knots and they just just hurt and it’s hard to relieve it’s making me wan...

My baby wants to feed so often that anytime we leave the house he gets really upset in the car as if he wants feeding….even though I’ve fed him already. I don’t know what to do. It’s making me not want to leave the house!

My 20 month old was a formula fed baby. We moved to cows milk when he was 1 and he moved absolutely fine, no issues Now he is 20 months old and suddenly he is suckling on my breast as if he wants to breastfeeding Is this normal? I have no interested in breastfeeding him now as he has lots of teeth and it was a nigh...

Hi all My baby is just over 3 weeks old. The past week he has started making noises when breast feeding which I can only describe as grunting and like he's struggling. He also cries during the feed for a few seconds but the continues feeding and the same thing happens over and over throughout the feed. I'm not su...
