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

My LO is 11 weeks and can be really fussy when feeding, sometimes not even attempting to feed before crying, clawing and pinching me, coming on and off the boob when feeding but frantically searching meaning it can take ages to feed and often impossible in public because his heads bopping all over the place so no ch...

Witt my last child I had no appetite or even felt thirsty I had terrible mum guilt that my boy wasn’t getting anything g...

Hey mamas, how much is whole milk are you giving your LOs in one day?

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...

Found out I'm pregnant with baby number 3. I only breastfed my second for about 2 weeks.. I gave up. This time I'd like to proper try so any advice and tips please? The main thing that scares/worries me is confidence. Breasts are sexualized so it makes me feel embarrassed about them, that's why I stopped bf my seco...

My daughter is about to be 8 months old. She’s breast fed & also having 3 solid meals a day. She’s been so good at trying new flavours and rarely refuses to eat but this girl does not like to drink anything other than breast milk. I know the importance of fluids once they start having solids and also with the warmer...

I EBF my little girl, and it has always gone so well. She nor I have ever encountered any problems from the very beginning, we have been incredibly lucky. When she hit 3 months, she would only wake once in the night for a dream feed, everything was amazing. Then, 4 weeks ago we started weaning as she was showing all...
