Breastfeeding

Hey girls! I’m really just here to talk out. I was EBF from my boob but baby decided about a week ago to nipple strike randomly so now will not latch ever. I’ve tried everything and he’s not interested. I’m now pumping every 3 hours and honestly it’s awful 😂😂 please tell me there’s someone else out there pumping…

Hi all, So i’m EBF my little girl and have long term RSI on my right side. When i wear a form of bra to bed with the absorbent pads it’s starting to really hurt. I have to wear them to bed as i leak a lot of milk over night, even when she feeds from one side the other side just gushes and then obvs the bra is to k...

My little one is 4 weeks old and EBF. I didn’t have any issues with her latching before but it is getting difficult as she weighs more causing my arms to ache and I feel I can’t hold her long enough to get a good latch. I’ve tried using a BF pillow but can’t get it in the right place for it to do anything. I normall...

Hey, how's everyone doing ? My newborn is 13 days old, a little boy. We are currently breastfeeding, I have a heavy flow and feel like I'm drowning baby every time I feed. I feel like I knew what to expect but wow I'm learning every day. Milk out the nose!!! I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this? Google is my...

When did everyone have their first period when breastfeeding? And were they regular after this? I had my first period at 11 weeks pp, and I was due my 2nd period 7 days ago and still no sign of it. Is it normal to be irregular?

Anyone else got the milk panic back again at 7 weeks? Not sure if it's just coincidence but I was expressing 2 bottles a day of 120-130ml for dad to give and our LG was finishing it the last couple of days and needing a boob top up too so we decided to increase to 150ml. Ever since making that decision literally a ...

My nipples are cracked and bleeding, I don’t know what to do. Baby is a week old and only lost 1/2 oz when weighed so I know I’m feeding properly, he is tongue tied but midwife said 6 week wait or £250 private. I’ve cried so much as all I want to do is feed him but it hurts so much. Any tips would be appreciated!

is it safe to get tatted while you’re breastfeeding? i wanna get my girls tatted on me but i want to know it won’t hurt my supply or my baby 🥺

I’m so stuck on if I should get them done or not. I’ve been wanting to get atleast one pierced since I was 16 and I’m now 25!!! I’ve breastfed my little girl for nearly 2 years and don’t plan on having anymore for a while so there’s no worries about that for the time being. I guess I just need atleast one person to ...

Has any of your breastfed newborns flat out refused pacifiers and struggled with bottles? I’m exclusively nursing my 8 week old because even though I introduced bottles early (around 3 weeks) because she had a great latch from the start, she has always seemed very disturbed/confused by them and gets frustrated and c...

I’m still feeding every 2.5-3 hours so wondering if I should extend this and hopefully my daughter will eat more food.

3 weeks postpartum right now and could pump 200ml combined 3 times a day but now I’m lucky if I can get even 50ml combined. I got a hand pump thinking my electric pump is the problem but same thing can’t pump enough with a hand pump either What can I do to increase my supply

Hi mamas! I’m currently breastfeeding my newborn and I have a regular breast pump but honestly it sucks! So she’s been getting it from the tap 😭 I been looking for wearable breast pumps but I’m not sure which one is going to be the most effective also inexpensive. Which ones would yall recommend?

I am still breastfeeding, and she feeds fairly often. Is this normal?? Should I be worried 😩

Have been told I can now start expressing colostrum, and been given syringes by the midwife to collect in. She didn’t really run through how to do it - do I express onto eg. a spoon and then syringe up from that, or do I try and suck the drops straight from my nipple into the syringe? I’ve not found any helpful vide...

So today's routine 7am breast milk 9am attempted bottle milk, no luck didn't give in 11.30 am attempted bottle, no luck 1....
