I started trying to collect colostrum yesterday at 39+3 I know it doesn’t work for everyone but I was so happy when I started to see a tiny bit come through, but I can’t seem to get anymore than a tiny drop. Any advice?
My son started to refuse to latch on to breastfeed and only wants bottles. And it makes me only wanna do formula feed. I keep trying to get him to latch on but he wont. He did it so easily at the hospital. Am i wrong for wanting to switch
Looking for some advice please… I will be returning to work 2 weeks before baby turns 1. I’ll be away from baby for nearly 12 hours on each shift (2/3 per week). Baby is EBF and won’t take expressed milk or formula from a bottle or her straw cup (only takes sips of water). I am hoping to breast feed before and after...
Is it just me - I’m managing to get between 1-3 syringes each time, doing it every other day for about 20mins but one boob seems to be so much easier / has more colostrum than the other. It also feels softer and squishier whereas my left boob feels harder and more tricky to get anything out. Is this normal or should...
Hello, I had mastitis in my left breast about 2 weeks ago had to go on 2 different antibiotics to get through it. This morning I wake up super engorged on the right side pump and my breast still hurts bad. I tried latching my baby and that hurt yesterday it did not. Now I have body aches and chills not sure on fever...

I’m exclusively breastfeeding my baby, he’s now 10 weeks old and it has always been painful. I’ve tried different holds and different techniques but I always end up with blistered nipples and toe-curling pain. Sometimes he feeds every hour and I dread it. 🥺 Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Any tips for breastfeeding with very fast letdown? I’m talking milk literally spraying out at sonic speed 😂 Little girl is choking quite often on it and it stresses me
Is anyone else combo feeding? I recently started my almost 2 month old, after exclusively pumping breastmilk but i decided to combo feed to take some stress off myself because my milk supply is so up and down every few weeks it’s frustrating, i used to feel bad and like a bad mom and i felt like the body that create...
Anyone back to work and still breastfeeding? How are you managing working and breastfeeding? I start work soon and wfh 4 days out of 5 and have 1 day in the office. I’m also not sending my daughter to nursery straight away as me and her dad both wfh so we think we could juggle childcare between us and work (prayin...
Hi everyone, looking for some guidance! FTM to a nearly 6 week old, EBF baby boy and up to a week ago had been blessed with a pretty good milk supply (possibly an over supply), however now it seems that my breasts are not refilling much between feeds so that he is really unsatisfied and fusses on the boob as he is s...
My baby is coming up to 3 months and exclusively breast fed. She feeds really well and also likes to snack sometimes. She also feeds/sucks to chill out. I’m okay with all of this. Recently, my boobs have been feeling very flat and empty, apart from in the morning when they feel slightly fuller. Baby seems to be able...
Did anyone else’s breastfed baby in particular struggle to put on weight. My boy is 8 weeks old and weighing 6lb4. When he was born he weighed 5lb12 but he’s constantly wanting feeding. I know I am producing milk as when I express I do get a lot. But he’ll fall asleep on the boob and then wake up 20 mins later wanti...
I think my milk has dried up. I know that I need to stop BF my twins before my partner goes back to work, more so for logistical reasons but I’m not quite ready to give it up just yet. Is there anything I can do to get my milk supply back… even if it’s just to pump and make up a supply to keep in the freezer for fut...
