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.…

Slowly but surely running my self to the ground solo parent 6 days a week with 19month and a 3 month. Oldest has special needs and youngest is breastfeed I’m drowning completely

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...

If yes, when did they come back?

Has anyone got any maternity/nursing bra recommendations? All mine are so uncomfortable at this point and I’d rather buy one that will last me for nursing as well

I seemed to have started a light period today.. I exclusively BF and pump on top of this.. my supply when pumping has dropped dramatically, I’m not even getting half an oz combined after a 30 min pump and was getting 4oz before. I’m worried my baby isn’t getting enough on the boob too? He’s going through the 4 mont...

Has anyone tried to stop breastfeeding and pumping? If so how did you go about it? I am trying to stop breastfeeding and pumping after 8 months but I haven’t been too successful as my boobs get so engorge and I end up pumping. Help!!

My baby was diagnosed with CMPA a few days ago and has been on SMA Althera. Before that I was breastfeeding and expressing. I’m not sure the milk is agreeing with her and she is much more distressed throughout the day. I’ve still been expressing to maintain a supply just in case but I’m now thinking that I’m just go...

Hello! I’m looking to changed my daughter’s milk from a bottle, to a new cup of some sorts? We tried giving her milk in one of her tum tum cups (which she has her water in) and she just treated it as she would do if it was water (aka put it down, and just go back to it if she’s thirsty) she’s still having a bottle b...

I’m sorry if this is tmi or wrong spot to ask but I’m so unhappy with how my breasts look after breastfeeding, they are already small to begin with but now there saggy and I feel gross, is there any way besides surgery that can help them look better or atleast a bit more appealing? Again sorry if it’s tmi but I don’...

My baby is 3 weeks old and suddenly I'm feeling really horrible when breastfeeding. Like I feel really uncomfortable/weird about it. It just makes me feel strange and I feel a bit sick almost. Anyone else? Had 3 weeks no problem and then all of a sudden. Please tell me it'll stop! It lasts the entire feed and they'...

This might be a silly question, but I’m worried my LO is not getting enough liquids, or will get constipated, since dropping bottles. We’ve dropped from 28oz (pre-solids) to 15oz (post-solids), how much water should my LB be drinking to make up for the reduction of milk?

My son(17 months) has found comfort in my shirt. Any other moms experience this? And it's not just me it's any woman he feels comfortable with.....I just ordered some turtle necks because it's getting too painful. I was hoping it was just a phase.
