The past few weeks and especially the past few nights have been so hard😭 my lg sleeps with us and recently has been wanting to nurse, all. Night. Long. It’s driving me crazy&considering stopping breastfeeding but not sure where to start..

I’m 4 weeks pp and exclusively breastfeeding which has been going really well. Thankfully, my supply has always been really good the whole time but over the last day or two I feel engorged all the time. It feels like he completely empties me and then an hour later I feel extremely full again which I haven’t had up t...

I had my little girl 3 weeks ago, she was very poorly at birth so has only been home and feeding since Tuesday, she come home on 60ml/70ml, she now on 90.. she is always hungry & always snacking.. is it possible that it just isn’t enough for her? Thank you in advance xx

Does anyone have any recommendations for supportive nursing bras please? Thank you

I am having so much pain due to engorged breast on my right side. I tried pumping it but it barely pumps out milk, tried with my hands but its taking so much time and its so painful. There is no redness or inflammation for sure.

I don’t know why but for the last few weeks my baby has been sooo obsessed with breastfeeding. He asks to be fed all the time, way more than he ever used to. I could never get him to feed before and he was way too busy and distracted to feed. But now he seems to want to feed all the time. He eats three meals a day a...

Hi all, baby boy was born Wednesday 13th, I tried breast feeding for two days but it didn’t work out for us and we are both happier on formula. But my breasts are getting so full, heavy and sore. I can’t express as I don’t want to encourage milk production. But does anyone have any tips to help stop the production...

Can you eat spicy food and while breastfeeding will it give the baby heartburn? Will it give the baby colic? If I do

I had to go out of town for a couple days for work and my parents kept my baby. I gave them all my frozen breast milk and formula for backup in case they needed it. They tested one formula bottle to make sure she would eat it and now she only wants the formula and won’t take my breast milk anymore. I’m so upset beca...

Hey beautiful ladies 🥰 I’m just wondering what recommendations you girls have for breast pumps? Ideally wearable/hands-free type style but I’m open to all types that are effective. I have been looking online & came across so many mixed reviews, loads of promotional/free trial reviews so it’s hard a to work out…

I am breastfeeding and bottle feeding my baby. Breastfeeding in the day and my husband bottle feed her (expressed breastmilk) in the first half of the night so we both can manage our sleep. I have started noticing that my baby is now resisting bottles and only wants to be BF. I use Philip’s avent anti colic bottle. ...

I gave our EBF baby a dummy a few days ago, only using it to settle him for his naps, or soothe when he was upset in the car, so he didn’t have if much at all, however I’ve now noticed he’s started to not latch properly and suck on my nipple with the same depth he would a dummy. I’m going to stop using the dummy in ...

I have a 3 week old who i breastfeed, and every time I feed her, she is choking or upchucking, but she gulps it down. What should I do to change or limit ?

Has anyone used liquid gold supplement to increase breast milk supply? If yes, does it work? And when did they see the results? Also did anyone experience any side effects? Thank you

So I've been told that for one drink, I'd have to pump then have my drink, then throw the next pumped milk away. How does it work when I want to have a weekend away with my hubby and have good nights where I get a little ratchet? 😅

How many oz of milk do you give your 2 month old when you have to leave a bottle. Mama is stepping out for a girls night tomorrow and leaving baby boy with my husband. He’s had maybe a total or 3-4 (3-3.5 oz) bottles since birth, sometimes he finished them and sometimes he didn’t. I’m never really sure how much milk...

Hey guys. First time mum here looking for a good wearable breast pump. With so many to choose from I wanted to hear if anyone has gotten on well with one and would recommend it please? Thank you!

I’ve never had a problem with my supply, but now baby girl is hungrier at night and needs to drink a bigger bottle than I can pump in order to try to sleep through the night. We’re going through my freezer stash faster than I can replace it so eventually we’ll run out. Pumping more isn’t doing much for me and I alre...
