Ok girlies. I am pretty much exclusively breastfeeding but somehow I’ve put ON weight 😣. Those who are breastfeeding, how did you lose weight, without it affecting your milk supply? Thank you in advance 😘😘
So my 2023 baby is 2 soon 😟 and we’ve been trying for a few months now for no.2 and we’ve been struggling I have no idea why I dunno if it’s because I bf my baby and my hormones are imbalanced because I squeezed my breast today and I had a bit of milk come out but I’ve stopped bf for a few months. Has anyone else…
I was exclusively breastfeeding my LO for the first couple of weeks, but was advised to introduce formula as she wasn't gaining weight. Since introducing it, life has been so much easier and I have been much less stressed about how much food she is getting. She is also gaining weight really well. I am still breastfe...
I sadly feel my breastfeeding journey is coming to an end. Its not been easy, I was putting him on the breast once or twice a day (after 5 or 10 minutes would fuss then cry so gave him a bottle) and pumped 3 times a day. I was going to continue this as long as possible but I'm struggling to produce 10mls a pump now ...

Has anyone used a breast pump whilst still being pregnant? I know babies will come when they’re ready etc etc. and pumping may induce labour. Just looking for advice 😊
When did peoples boobs stop growing? I’m 21 weeks and no bras fit. I’ve brought some new and bigger that fit but they’re not comfy. I’m reluctant to get measured and buy more if they’re going to grow again!!! Also bra recommendations?? Even ones that are comfy result in major rib pain at the moment as they’re not ...
Hi everyone, I’m 4 weeks PP and had a planned c-section. I wasn’t able to breastfeed my LO for a couple of reasons. Firstly my milk didn’t come in until 5 days in. It was like my body didn’t know that it gave birth. After that my section wound reopened and I had to be put on antibiotics twice. I was trying to pu...
Hello, i’m 6 months pp and already wanting to have another baby! I am worried about my milk drying up or extreme nipple sensitivity. When did you start trying for another or have an unplanned second? What was your experience BF while pregnant?
48 yo mama, baby is 3 months and still no period. I know i might be perimenopausal and entering menopause…so not too shocked. But checking if other mamas got their period back later.
Has anyone had this while breastfeeding if so what were your symptoms and have did you treat it
My 1 week old only feeds for 10-20 minutes (5-10 mins each boob). My first child used to feed for 45 minutes sometimes more! So I'm concerned that this baby isn't getting enough milk Or is this normal? She's latched every 60 mins in the day and at night I have to wake her up every 3 hours to feed (she's still n...
So the pain started today and I used warm gel on my affected breast and did the soaking in epsom salt. Not helping. I saw online that cold is better and nurse less? It hurts and I am already fighting an infection so I can’t get another one right now 😭
Hello ladies! I have a going on 13 month old who still struggles to hold her own bottle without me having her propped up on a pillow and her drinking her bottle like that. When she walks around she will hold it upside down or just sucking the nipple. I tried holding it tilting her head back but she gets very mad whe...
Has anyone else been told by HV not to give baby milk in the nights anymore and only offer water? I was told this and I’m quite surprised as never heard of this before? Baby is not taking bottles fully in the day and I was still advised to only give milk in the day now and not the night?
