My 1 week old tends to choke on a bottle if the nipple is filled with too much milk (the nipple is a level 1). My husband is moves super slow to pat her back and it drives me crazy. He just looks at her and slowly puts her on his chest. Sometime I want to yell at him to move faster or just don’t allow him to feed h...

Little one is almost 10 months. He is strictly breast-fed. Bottles were introduced in the beginning, but stopped due to complications that we thought the bottles were causing. They were not introduced again, though after the complications were resolved. He will not take a pacifier or a bottle. He just chews on them....

Hi First time mum and trying so hard to express as much as possible, our little man is currently still in NICU due to C section at 33 weeks, initially my volume of milk was good, however the last 2 days there has been a reduction. Little man working hard with latching and suckling. Looking for any advice or guidan...

Ok, breastfeeding is hard. My baby is almost one month. But due to a 2 week NICU stay I feel like I'm only on week 2 of being her full time care taker🥹😭. I had a great supply in the beginning but now I find myself worn out, dehydrated, and nauseated during pumping. I put her to breast a few times a day, pump once…

Anyone else keep pumping or breast-feeding after their baby was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy? Did you end up stopping or how did it go? Also, if you kept pumping or breast-feeding, what did you do with the stored formula before your dairy free diet?

What do you all use to increase your supply?

So we’re working on baby boys latch but those who pump and latch what does pumping look like for you? is it after feeds? do you pump every time? are you pumping less? (i only pump but once baby boy latches id love to pump a lot less)

I was ALWAYS told that boob stimulation can throw you into labor... but then I just watched a video on Facebook reels of a woman who was saying that now her boobs started leaking, it's time to start collecting the colostrum to have it for when the baby is born.

Best advice on how to pump while also exclusively breastfeeding? My husband not being able to help is really starting to get to me and I need to figure out how to get a good stash before I start working again in January. Not sure if I should pump right after baby feeds and just not get very much each time or what. A...

Does anyone have any tips or any bottle recommendations please? Of course I'm more than happy to cancel the plans but wou...

Hi, my baby uses mam bottles with test size 2. She’s starting to fuss with her bottles and I’m trying size 3 but can’t figure out if it’s the right step. Question: how long did it take for baby to adjust to the next size up? Did they have to adjust or did it take time? TIA X

Anyone else hates how people always have an opinion on breastfeeding or formula, me personally I wanna push for breast feeding or pumping but I also feel like I’ll combo feed formula if I have too because I would like to drink alcohol or breastfeeding might be hard idk I’m a first time mom I don’t know what to expec...

My baby is 28 days old and he has started feeding very frequently during the day and only latches for 3-5 minutes. Is this normal What can I do about this I cannot do any other work when he demands like this😴

Hello 🤗  I gave birth a month ago and had lots of pain while breastfeeding. After a month of crying through feeds, feeds lasting an hour and her still coming off unsatisfied. A healthcare professional discovered a posterior tongue tie. If she was to get an op to remove it it, it would have taken 3 weeks, then…

How long did it take for your milk to COMPLETELY dry up after stopping? Like nothing coming out. No tiny drops.

Now that we’re approaching 6 months, what is everyone planning to give or giving already to their babies?

Hi all I think it’s come to a time I might have to stop pumping breast milk. This breaks my heart by I just can’t keep up with my little one’s demand. They want to feed every hour at the moment and cry as soon as I put them down so pumping while holding is not working. How can I do this slowly? We have already cut o...
