Can I breast feed my 8 month old while pregnant ? I’ve been told by the elders I should stop now .

Does anyone know of a good nursing bra that doesn’t have clasps i don’t like wearing bras with clasps i think there uncomfortable and would rather not be uncomfortable while wearing it

I’m having trouble finding a bottle that my baby will take I mainly breastfeed but I need her to take a bottle when I got back to work. I have tried the Phillip advent natural the mam and the nuk. She gags on them every-time. I don’t know if I’m introducing them wrong or what. Any tips??? Or different bottles?

For the breastfeeding mums, has anyone got their period yet? My baby just turned six months and nothing yet. I've been having a dull ache in my right ovary for the last couple of weeks but not sure if related. Thanks

What's a good pumping schedule 4 months pp EBF? I'm wanting to pump enough for feeds (I don't even know how many oz my girl eats) and enough to hopefully put 1 bag in the freezer a week so like maybe an extra oz a day? Please help 😭

My 13 week old suddenly stopped taking a bottle a few weeks ago, now back to constant breastfeeding - any expressers out there with any ideas? She use to enjoy formula & expressed milk, but nope. One tired mumma 🥲

hi all, tips on how to get baby to have a bigger latch?

I’m going back to work part time soon and my little one will have to go roughly 6 hours without boob. She’s pretty much been ebf but did have the odd bottle when she was a few months old. She will be 13 months when I go back (she was prem though so corrected she’ll be 11 months) At the moment I feed her on demand, w...

My baby is 9 month old on solids and still having boob feeds. We always give her water at meal as when we first started solids we were told to offer water at meals but said she didn’t need it any other time but that was 3 months ago now. She’s eating more and not taking as much boob now during day and for past coupl...

Those who have larger breasts, especially on the saggier side, what positions do you find helps when feeding. Found out baby was using breast as dummy and wasn’t actually taking in milk and lost a considerable amount of weight 😞 feeling deflated. Have tried pumping with spectra s1 and did well first time, but…

Not sure if anyone else can relate, I'm breastfeeding but pump a couple of times a day so my baby can also have a bottle.... one boob I get like 4-5oz and the other I get 1-2oz from 15 mins of pumping. Can anyone relate or does anyone have any tips to increase supply in one boob haha? Thanks!

My little one has just had her first tooth cut through (last week). Pretty much everyday she has bitten me at least once. Just little nips, but a bit painful. Often accompanied by a cheeky grin. Obviously this is not something I want to encourage. Has anyone experienced this… any suggestions?

My boy is almost 13 weeks and keeps choking on the boob recently. I know I’ve always had a strong letdown and fast flow but he seemed to have managed better before and now choking and pulling off the boob. Feeds seem much shorter too for the last week or so. This must be a developmental thing as surely he did man...

I would love another baby and to be pregnant again, but I have a 6 week old and am breastfeeding. How long did it take all you breastfeeding mothers to get your periods back?

Advice very very welcomed. I think we’ve finally come to the end of our breast feeding journey.. as much as I’ve loved it my son has become increasingly boob obsessed (at times impacting his eating and appetite) and clawing at my top/chest which I’m finally just done with. I just don’t know where to start! I hate ...

Hey, What are people doing with any colostrum they harvested & froze? Conscious of it being 6 months nearly...

Hi. I'm a new twin mum. I breastfeed one baby at the time whilst we are still adjusting to everything 1 week after the birth. I'd love to breastfeed them both at the same time in the future to save time, especially at night. But not sure how the burping part works when I'm on my own with two fed babies. Any advice? X

My little one turned 1 last week and we’ve started to transition to cows milk from being EBF, I’ve dropped 1 feed a day to introduce cows milks in place of this but she seems to hate cows milk!! I’ve tried all different types of bottles/cups to see if that helped but it’s definitely more to do with taste. She starts...

Hello! I guess this is actually more than one question from a mama who is a bit stuck on what I should be doing right now. My little girl is one at the end of February and I have pretty much always exclusively breastfed, apart from at the beginning when she was first born and I needed to top her up with pumped m...

I am having my waters broken tomorrow morning 🤞🏻, I’ve just got home and had the thought in my head, what do I do about taking some colostrum. Did anyone take any of their frozen stash with them, or did you just express after birth?
