Breast feeding/pumping help

To all my bf mamas, how can I increase my milk supply ? My almost three month is now refusing the breast and I have to constantly distract her for her to take it and I’m overwhelmed.

Transitioning from Swaddle

My baby is 14 weeks and we are still swaddling her to sleep. She is starting to roll onto her side so I know we need to transition to a sleep sack. Any advice on how to do this without totally disrupting her sleep? We use the Halo sleep swaddles now. Any good sleep sack recommendations?

2 yr old

Does anyone else’s 2 year old have constipation issues? I feel like my toddler is always constipated. He has a drs appointment in about 2 weeks to discuss it. He doesn’t eat a lot of veggies. But he’s a good eater other than that.

Donor Milk

Has anyone used donor breast milk? I am interested in giving it a try but I am worried about regulations and safety. If I do purchase it, it will be through an official breast milk bank here in CA.

Any advice on how to get my baby to nap without me during the day?

She’ll nap but only if she’s physically on me. The second I put her down she wakes up 😭

Does anyone remember when their postpartum cramping stopped?

I totallyyyy forgot about the postpartum cramping and contractions (which if you didn’t know are what helps your uterus shrink back down so technically they’re a good thing 😂) But gosh I forgot how bad they can HURT when they hit! It’s like a period on steroids or even borderline labor contractions lol. 🥴 and I…

Baby blues

Baby is 7 days old and I am experiencing horrible baby blues. I love and care about my baby but I don’t really feel connected to her yet, I don’t even feel like I’m her mum. I feel like she is just a baby that I’m looking after. Is this normal for the baby blues? I also feel lonely and miss my partner - even though...

Nearly 2 weeks PP - advice

I’ve been trying to breastfeed as much as possible since baby has been born and she latches and sucks but I don’t have consistent milk coming out so I end up supplementing with formula and she drinks 60-70ml. I know I don’t make that amount is there anything I can do to help my milk come quick? Thank you xxx

Breastfeeding Momma & Work Conference

I have an all day work conference tomorrow and they are proving a place for me to pump but I have to bring my own storage for my milk. Any suggestions? I read ice packs over using bags of ice for keeping it cold but not sure what else.

Swaddling

My baby has been waking up at night trying to break out of the swaddle. I was thinking maybe she wants to suck on her hands so a few nights ago I let her arms out of the sleep sack and the rest of the night there were still a bunch of wake ups. I have been swaddling since then and she still wakes up a couple times a...
