Breastfeeding

So have started collecting yesterday, I got about 0.3ml Then today I only got just over 0.1ml Feel quite sad about it, think I had my hopes up a bit to high on how much I would be able to collect as everyone in the videos I was watching was collecting loads when they first started How much did everyone get when th...

Hello! Do you change the milk to number two? Or you wait until your baby is one year old and then you switch to number three?

Hello ladies, I started trying to collect colostrum this afternoon and had no joy. I wondered if those who have been successful, would be happy to share their tips and tricks!? I’m not into baths so I used a hot water bottle on my chest and then did the C shape gentle massage. There was the tiniest amount that ca...

Hey, I breastfeed and wanted to ask other breast feeding mums when they started pumping? I’ve had lots of different advise on when is best to do this but wanted to ask what other people have been doing? My little one is just over three weeks and just seems to want to be on the boob all the time, atleast if I expres...

My 7 week old little girl has been exclusively breast fed and I’m so proud of us for getting the hang of it. The problem that we are having is that she will not settle with her Dad. He has asked me last night if we could start giving her a dummy but I don’t want to as I have no problem settling her but it can’t be n...

I’m 13+4 with my first baby, I always thought I’d want to bottle feed, but now I’m debating breastfeeding. Any tips to help me decide would be amazing!

Hello, I’m new here and I would like to know if this has happened to anyone before. With both my babies both of my breast were fully producing milk and a few months down the line the right one just stopped producing altogether and shrunk back, and the left started overproducing milk and overgrew. I just really need ...

My baby is now 6 months old, I know it’s quick but we want our babies close in age. Does anyone have any tips or know how to go about getting pregnant while breastfeeding? My baby will not take a bottle so its not an option to try and increase bottle feeds.

How do people manage this?

Hi! I’ve just had my second and are only a week into a breastfeeding. I bottle fed my first and wanted some honest opinions (as the health professionals are biased towards breast). My worry with EBF is how I can spend time with my 3 year old. Whilst on maternity leave I’d like days out just me and him and would leav...

Hi 💕 So I’ll have my 4th baby in December I really want to feed them with breast milk, but the issue for me is I’m very uncomfortable with the way it feels to breastfeed which is why I have only done it a couple of times with my first baby - Is it possible to pump breast milk and only use a bottle? - How would…

I might sound stupid but what is breastfeeding let down? I don’t really understand what it means and is it a good thing or a bad thing to have?

Has anyone got any good brand recommendations for nursing bras that aren't boiling to wear in this warmer weather? I basically lived in bravado bras with my first baby which I do find comfy but I'd love to get something lighter/more breathable if possible for as it gets hotter! Should add I'm looking for something w...

Has anyone bought nursing bras yet? I know they say not to get any until 38 weeks, as they'll still grow 😳 I've got a maternity photoshoot next week and I would just like a pretty bra to wear 🥹

I’m thinking of combi feeding my baby! I want to try breast feeding again but also know it might not go to plan as it didn’t with my daughter. How do I do this without creating too big of a supply and too little of one too?
