I was breastfeeding my baby up to 3 months but then I stopped. He is now 6 months and I want to pump breast milk for my baby without breastfeeding. Is this possible?
My two week old is breastfed but barely seems to get full, he will drink up to 6oz of breastmilk?! And probably more if I let him! I’ve read he’s only supposed to be on 2-3oz but he screams and cries and acts starving until I give him more. He’s unsettled most of the day and night, poops up to 15 times a day, wet na...
Is it ok if I take Azo while breastfeeding?
For the EBF mom’s. Have you ever considered stop breastfeeding? My daughter has a favourite boob, which is the right one and my nipple is so sore 🥲 it’s really inconvenient as well if we are out and about. But on the other hand, I don’t want to give her formula 😭 I have a tommee tippee pump which is rubbish. Maybe…
I’m leaving my daughter with my mum for a few hours whilst I have an appointment. She will only need one feed in that time but how much expressed milk does your baby take? She’s usually breastfed so I have no idea how much she usually drinks
How do we feel about donated milk? My supply is currently drastically down and I want to keep baby on breast milk. Formula has been the worst for baby, I am taking all the step to bring my supply back up hopefully it’ll improve. I want to stop formula and try to get donated milk. Any thoughts on this?!?!
Expecting another little one soon and was wondering what everyone's experiences with wearable pumps were. I used elvie last time and it basically killed my supply :( so looking at cheaper options on amazon like momcozy m5 or jheppbaby. Has anyone used both and would recommend one more than the other? Thanks everyone!
Hey everyone, so my lil princess is 3 months now, exclusively breast fed but I only really plan on doing it for 6months, it was never in the plan anyway but when they put her on me in hospital we just connected. So I’m thinking of combi feeding her because I don’t want to be stuck later down the line and not get her...
Hey everyone, first time mum to be here. I’m going to give breastfeeding a good try and fingers crossed it works out, although I do imagine we’ll do the odd combination with formula too. I was wondering if anyone has purchased a breast pump or has any recommendations for one? It’s a thought spending a fortune on som...
Please could someone recommend a decent breast pump that isn’t too expensive.
Just looking for a bit of advice girls. My baby is 7 months and pretty much fully weaned now. Has 3 meals a day and boob in between and then usual feeds through night. However I’ve started to notice when she is having boob she’s not taking much anymore She’s started going to nursery on a morning and yesterday when ...
How often are you feeding your EBF baby? My baby is still getting up min x2 a night for a feed usually a quick one like 5 mins unless she's upset in which case she hangs on a little longer for comfort. During the day I offer breakfast first within half hour of waking then boob maybe an hour later or earlier if she...
Hi ladies I am not sure if I got my period back or not, I pray not, but I am 6 weeks PP and EBF! Is it even possible? Anyone else?
I keep going through a wave of supply issues. Happened to me last month and is currently happening again. I started up with lactation cookies, starting hydrating more and pumping twice during the night. My supply returned but now I’m going through the same issue. This time it feels worse because baby needs a larger ...
Hi moms am 36 week pregnant it’s my first baby. I prefer natural birth so what kind of exercise is good to give natural birth? And when is my nipple open and ready for breastfeeding?
I am EBF but have been sometimes pumping the other side while baby feeds/30 min after. I’m just stashing the extra milk in the freezer for now but it is becoming exhausting. Should I keep pumping the side not being fed on to keep my supply up, or is alternating baby to each side every other feed good enough?
