So I have a clogged duct and it hurts so bad that I have a red mark on my boob around the area and a pounding headache. How do I get rid if it😭 I know some people say to use your husband but that is a last resort for me… he is squeamish and I don’t want him to throw up on me😂

I gave birth on 6th November and still haven't had my period- bottle feeding

Trying to figure out a good age gap and contemplating waiting to lose weight or wait till my daughter sleeps better / isn’t breastfeeding.

I know it’s too early to tell but I was just curious. So my baby is almost 2 days old but I’m struggling to wake him him to breastfeed 😭 he loves sleeping but I also know it’s important for him to eat and regain his weight back. I try to wake him up at the 2/3 hour mark but I get nothing. I thought babies start…

Help!! I am 6 months postpartum and my milk is drying up! Due to having mastitis. Is there still hope in my milk coming back? What should I do?

I've always combi fed my little one. Usually pump once or twice a day (due to be alone during the daytime hours), my partner works during the day. So I'll pump once he gets home and before bed. Offering breast 2-3 hourly followed by 3 hourly formula feeds. Up until last month my LO has been using a nipple shield d...

Hey mamas! Warning: long post lol if you read I appreciate you! So a little backstory - I’ve had supply issues from the beginning, at two weeks when he still wasn’t at his birth weight I was told I had to start supplementing with formula but I also bought a different pump and started pumping after nursing so every 2...

Hey, Does anyone read a book whilst breastfeeding? If so, what’s the best position for this? Thanks in advance 🤩

I'm looking for recommendations for gymwear - especially supportive sports bra made from natural materials eg. Cotton, hemp, bamboo. I've been wearing bamboo undies for years, but want to slowly update activewear now that I'm regularly back at the gym. I don't want to wear plastic anymore! Thank you 🥰

I went to bed with a tiny bit of clogged duct but baby too tired to feed, I’ve woke up one boob completely engorged tried to get baby to feed not working. What should I do??

I am trying to wean my 1 year old son away from my breast milk and directly from my breasts. I am trying to bottle feed him with my breast milk and giving him full fat cows milk but he doesn’t really like drinking the cows milk as much as the breast milk. I need to get him off my breasts as he has more teeth now and...

Hi Ladies, I'm going back to work in the next month or two, so I'm trying to build a freezer stash. I started pumping again 4 days ago. I had stopped when my baby was 6 weeks because I was drowning him, and I didn't feel I needed more than 4 freezer bags full at that point. Anyway, I've been pumping after every...

Hello! 30 weeks pregnant over here and looking forward to breastfeed once baby arrives. I am browsing through breast pumps since most are covered by insurance but too many options are overwhelming. What did you guys get (or planning to get) and for those who have previous experience with them, what do you guys reco...

Hey! My little one is 2 weeks away from being 15 months old and i think i’m ready to try and wean him off breastfeeding. I’ve lasted longer than I thought I would which I’m dead happy about but I think it’s time. Does anyone have any tips on how to wean him off?

My baby turns 14 weeks old tomorrow. She is EBF and used to feed for anywhere between 15-30 mins. In the last couple of weeks she has only been feeding for 10 minutes or less. Sometimes she only wants to feed for 5 minutes. I have tried winding her and then putting her back on the breast, I’ve tried switching breas...

I'm 4 days into breastfeeding and my nipples are sore and slightly cracked what is the best thing for it?

My milk supply dipped. Why? I've been lazy with my pumping. I also tried to lower my calorie intake to lose weight 🙃 So now... Back to pumping one boob while I nurse on the other. A full pump session during his nap. If I can pump 3x a day even better. Stayinh stocked on: Pineapple juice. Cheesticks. Electrolytes.…

My little boy is 16 months & I am still bfeeding him. I LOVE the bond & I know he loves the comfort. He has milk in the morning & before bed. But he wakes 1,2,3 times in the night every night & that is all he wants. How can I break this habit? Has anyone else had any luck? I have tried other ways to comfort him and ...

I'm EBF my little girl and she's nearly 10 weeks old. I'm really starting not to enjoy breastfeeding. Shes fussing and biting and pulling and will only latch if I stand up. Tonight she's been feeding 45 minutes straight and my boobs are empty and she still wants more. I also can't go out on my own anywhere for mor...
