Hey I’m looking to join a breastfeeding support group in Nottingham (based in mapperley / Sherwood), are there any that people can recommend? X

We started weaning baby 6 days ago. So far we've only done pouches as we've been moving house at the same time and it's been chaos. She absolutely loves her food but yesterday and today she is hating her milk. We make 180ml bottles and we're lucky if she has 90ml of them. She's waking in the night starving and then ...

I’m a bed sharing EBF mama who loves having her baby nurse to sleep and help himself to night feeds as he wishes (these days it is about two night feeds, one around 1 am and another around 5 am). I haven’t gotten my period back and I read that stopping night feeds might help with this. I’m not in a huge rush, but I ...

Is anyone else still breastfeeding and plans to continue after 1? My LO still feeds through the night and for naps and can’t see this stopping anytime soon!

Is anyone else struggling to pump much/any milk anymore? Going back to work so was hoping to have a supply but literally struggling to get anything now, I used to be able to express a feed no problem! Just wondering if anyone else is the same now our babies are just having less generally! Thank you x

My 25 month old daughter still breastfeeds, mainly to nap and sleep at night but she does have a few quick sessions throughout the day. Sometimes she may have no sessions aside from when it’s sleep time. Her dietitian has commented that there’s not much benefit of me breastfeeding as my milk will be like semi skim...

I have been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter for 6 months now and I plan to stop breastfeeding when she is 1 year old. The main reason being is that I want to focus on losing weight, potentially going on a weight loss medication such as Ozempic. For context, I have about 60 lbs to lose to get to a healthy weigh...

Hello! For my breastfeeding mamas? How’s your weight journey going? Have you been able to lose weight while breastfeeding? This mama is not okay. I have more cravings then when i was pregnant 😐 i haven’t started dieting because i don’t want to mess up my milk supply but any tips or recommendations to lose the baby…

How do we navigate breastfeeding while having our nipples pierced? Take them out while feeding, then put them back in? Leave them out and hope they don't close up? Help me out, please. I've had them done for a year and 3 months if that matters.

My 11 weeks throws up after each breastfeeding and nothing has worked for her. I am tired and frustrated 😣

My LO is 3.5 months old and exclusively BF. Since we were in the hospital she accepted a bottle with pumped milk. The first few weeks my husband and I split nights in shifts and she would happily accept a bottle. When she was about 5 weeks old she started sleeping well only waking 2 times a night and my husband's wo...

Definitely a controversial topic and not necessarily 2 under 2 related but I could use the advice! Currently pregnant with my second and my first will be just under 18 months when #2 comes, my pcp wants me to go on a glp1 (like ozempic) for weight loss when I’m done nursing, this leads me to wondering if I should ...

Does anyone else have issues with their baby making the clicking noise while feeding? She never used to do it and now all of a sudden she started doing it. We’ve tried different positions, bottles and nipple sizes. Idk what to do😭

Any mums out there that still breastfeed while they got pregnant again. Just started getting morning sickness and ohh gosh when she sits on my belly to feed I feel even more sick 🤢 any tips on how to go about this?? Please! I don't want to have to go through this for the next two/three months.. especially when I…

My One week old beautiful Boy Leo wants my boobie 90% of the time I swear. Although his latch is good now, we think a number of bad latches after I was ‘out of it ‘ from my unplanned C section maybe caused the severe blistering I have now & on both boobs, and just overall pain which is actually making me feel a bit...

Does anyone else's babies have cold milk straight from the fridge? Formula or breast obviously I make the formula up correctly but never warm is, am I doing it wrong?

Im 2 months pp and still haven’t managed to properly breastfeed or pump. I still have milk in my boobs and babies latch and suckle for a bit but get fed up and then I give them the bottle. I usually get a couple proper squirts but that’s about it. I really don’t want to give up on bf but don’t know if I’m just delud...
