Just a quick question - I have the M5 Cosy breast pump and want to clean / disinfect it , what is everyone doing to disinfect their pumps?? Especially if you have the same one!!

I’m 5 months PP just got mine today and feel such a wave of depression, not. Sure if it’s the hormones, or I really was just hoping not to get it longer, or both haha. Does everyone’s supply drop during? My supply goes up and down regardless so it’s hard for me to tell

Help! My right boob is like 2 sizes smaller than the left one! My baby clearly has a favourite one. For the last 2 weeks he kind of refuse even to latch on the right breast. What can I do to fix it? I tried to pump from the smaller but there is almost nothing I feel like that’s why he doesn’t like it. How can help...

Hi all, My 5.5 is taking about 3oz of pumped breastmilk every 4 hours to 5. i don't think that's enough for her. I know each baby is different, but I just wanted to see what everyone elses babys are roughly drinking. Thank you in advance.

I’m feeling very discouraged & I’m reaching out for some encouragement.. my husband and I have been trying for months to get pregnant but it’s just not happening. I think it’s because I’m still breastfeeding and maybe I’m having hormone fluctuations… has anyone been in this boat? Did you have to completely stop nurs...

Hey, any mums using the X teat for their baby? Does it have to be with thick liquid or can it just be milk?

Mommas i need help getting a breastfeeding and formula schedule together when should i breast feed and then when should i give her formula im trying to get more prepared and when do i have to pump?

Had anyone switched from breastfeeding to cows milk before 1, yes don’t come for me I know that they need it till their one, and food is fun, but my son loved his food, is eating more and more he has organic foods no crap in them, all made from scratch foods, last month his only wanted boob after lunch and to go sle...

I have a 9 week old baby who was breastfeeding the first 3 weeks and then we had to stop because I was having sore and cracked nipples. After having a Tounge tie treatment baby has made nipples bleed and she wasn’t able to latch properly. She has been taking my breast since birth as I am exclusively breastfeeding. S...

Hi. 11 months since i gave birth. Mainly breastfed but has 1 bottle per day whilst I'm working (a recent thing) Period not returned. Is this normal? 🤔

I tried on day one to breastfeed but stopped as had complicated birth/exhausted and baby struggled to suck, then she has been bottle fed since. Worried my supply will have dried up but want to try

If you are planning to breastfeed, will you be collecting colostrum? I have my syringes and my colostrum is coming through. I just don’t know how to collect it... any tips would be great!!:) I get the C shape and all that and it works fine. But do I use a small pot? Should I sterilise that before? Is it worth colle...

My baby is 6 days old, I want to start going out but I’m a little nervous about breastfeeding in public, sometimes she doesn’t latch well and it can take a while but I don’t want it to stop me getting out. Any recommendations on how to cover up but still get her sorted without it becoming too stressful for both.

Girlies, I have to share this because it’s so so funny to me that this actually works and hopefully it’ll help some of you out 🙏 So my milks just come in and my boobs have been so so sore 🍼 When I saw the midwife on Friday she said to try cabbage leaves kept in the fridge … honestly it looks crazy but I promise you…

Which wearable pump do you have and why do you like it? Pros & cons? I currently have the momcozy s12 pro and I like it but It’s shape is a little awkward. I was considering getting the m5. But I’m open to all brands!

How would you feel if you didn’t sleep all night because you were breastfeeding baby and in the morning, instead of giving you support, your partner says that probably your milk is not good enough so baby is constantly feeding. Baby is EBF and she is over 15 lbs, not even 4 months yet. I feel like whatever I do is n...

So my supply has always been up and down, but I managed to get it into a decent place where I was getting about 1.5 feeds per pump sessions. I’m now almost 17 weeks pp and since 14ish weeks my supply has massively dropped to the point where it’s taking me two pump sessions to get enough for one feed. I’m still pumpi...

Anyone else’s baby literally fighting them as they breastfeed? My son moves around so much, his feet all over the place, my chest is full of tiny scratches from his nails that don’t ever seem to be short enough no matter how many times I clip them. His hand on my face, in m mouth. I try to hold it and engage but som...

My baby girl is 11months and doesn’t know how to use a bottle or sippy cup because she’s breast fed and barley eats solids mostly because I’m too lazy to enforce meals and cook for her it’s so much easier to whip out a boob and nurse her…but when I do cook for her she only eats a few bits and waste most of it so I f...
