How much do yall produce per pump and how far along postpartum are you? I’m an exclusive pumper and 7 weeks pp and make around 4.5-6.5 oz total every 2-3.5 hours. I make around 38-42 oz total per day and my baby takes 24-28 oz daily. I think I have a good supply but I now feel a bit insecure about it because everyti...

Does anyone else just feed on one side at a time? If she nurses on both sides the she gets too full and spits up a bunch. But from what I’ve seen it’s more common to nurse on both during a feeding session?

Has anyone tried slow flow baby bottles. We bought the philips avent ones, is it hard to get habitual to them between breastfeeding? Or vica versa?

We are in depths of cluster feeding… any tips? Feel like my boobs won’t survive the week!

Hi mamas! Just curious for those with babies under 3 months. Share how old your baby is and how much they are feeding and how often!

How do you know if your supply is dropping if you are EBF, once you regulate and breasts no longer get sore?

I have really flat nipples and even though I have managed one or two feeds at the boob each day since she was born, it tends to be a struggle. I started using nipple shields yesterday and they help but I’m finding I need to give her a bottle first to curb her hunger before she will latch on. Then she will feed for l...

Three days ago I had my baby via c-sec at 37+3 due to small for gestational age, however she came out a lovely 6lb 8oz and apart from a little jaundice which we managed to get over the line is doing great. I gave her colostrum and some infant formula in hospital and encouraged her to latch and suckle. She fed succes...

Anyone else sometimes just feel touched out after a day of nursing? I’m nursing and pregnant and am starting to feel bad because now some days I just don’t want anyone to touch me, which is hard because my hubby’s love language is physical touch 😓 I’m struggling with figuring out how to explain how overtouched I…

My baby is 9, almost 10 weeks and as of the last couple days she’s getting fussy on the breast after 4-5 minutes. My supply was great - she’d comfortably feed for 15-20 minutes and be satisfied! I could also here her suckle, and Gulp, suckle and gulp but the last few days she’ll suckle suckle suckle And I could he...

GIRLS! any recommendations on nipple creams to stop the itchyness? I’m so close to ripping them off it’s irritating me that much, I might actually go insane 😫

Anyone exclusively breastfeeds their baby and also have them use a pacifier? If so, which one?? This is my second baby and my first didn’t take a pacifier so he never used one. But this time around I don’t feel like being a human pacifier. Plus with a toddler, house, and wife duties I really don’t have the time. ...

So my daughter was born yesterday at 22 weeks and she’s failed her suck test of course… I still was breast feeding my oldest daughter who just turned 1, but it’s like since Sunnie was born I haven’t been producing milk anymore and I’m not sure why I’ve been trying to pump and nothing!

I’ve got a 15 month old who only has 1x9oz bottle before bed. It’s in her usual dr brown bottles. She drinks water from a straw cup. M reading she shouldn’t be using bottles anymore, so my question is, what do I put the milk in now for her?
