Debate: Lash Lift and Tint Whilst Breast Feeding?

Right. I’ve recently had it done, they look great as you are all probably wondering. My boyfriend’s sister, thinks that this is not safe to do so while breast feeding. Now, I’m not denying there’s somethings online that say not to do it, but there is also a lot of things that say that it’s perfectly fine. So debat...

Baby skin not improving…

My baby was diagnosed with CMPA on Wednesday and since then he has been in dairy free formula and I have given up eating dairy as still breastfeeding. His skin this morning is worse than ever. Is that normal even though he isn’t consuming any milk?

Breast milk turned clear

Hi I’m expecting my 2nd but still nursing my first (17months) I’ve noticed my breastmilk is coming out very slow and also on one side it’s turned clear. Does anyone know what this is. I read online clear discharge could be a sign of breast cancer but I’m not sure because I’m breastfeeding and pregnant.

Period and drop in milk supply

I’m about 4 and a half months postpartum and just got my first period back which I wasn’t expecting! I always heard if you breastfeed you don’t get your period back and even though I knew it was possible this still just seems so soon! Anyone else? But anyway I seemed to drop my milk supply significantly, I used to p...

Will I ever get back to breastfeeding exclusively?

I had a very difficult birth. I planned for a homebirth, but two weeks before, I developed sciatica and hip pain that required crutches. When my waters broke, In labour experienced intense contractions within mins, but no dilation for four days—only excruciating hip pain. I ended up needing an emergency C-section. T...

Is it too late to introduce expressed milk bottle to an EBF 3 month old?

Baby is 3 month old, EBF. I am going back to work next month, so I want to express milk so that dad can feed when I am not at home. The first attempt was a disaster - baby cried the lungs out and fell asleep with an empty belly. Any advice?

Advice

Hello, I had a planned section yesterday and got home this evening. Baby will not settle. He won’t stay in his next to me crib. So I’m sat up with him. I’m trying to breast feed and he seems to be wanting feeding every hour. I’m sure he’s trying to get use to his surroundings. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Side Lying Position

Y’ALL why am I just now trying this? If you’re breastfeeding I cannot recommend the side lying position enough- especially for the late night/early morning feed. Like, why did no one tell me?? 😅

Breastfeeding babies

Why are they so goofy 😂 my first refused to latch so he nicely bottle fed. Now this one is EBF and the kid is dancing while latched, flopping around, propping his leg up on my shoulder, anything and everything.

Nursing sports bra suggestions (not kindred bravely)? Something that makes busty women feel secure if jumping.

I’m a busty gal and have tried kindred bravely. I can’t jump without my tatas feeling like they’re going to go fly away. I’d like something that doesn’t just support the bottom but the top too. I’m new to having these large breastfeeding boobs.
