Debating whether to get a bunch of reusuable or whether to stick with disposable nreast pads. Been breastfeeding nearly 5 weeks. First time mum. Are they just as good as eachother or is one type more absorbent.
I’ve been breastfeeding for a year and with the pregnancy, weightloss and breastfeeding, my boobs are really saggy and stretched. I feel really upset and self conscious about them. I used to consider them one of my best assets (as did my husband!) as they were large and full, but they lack fullness now. Do they get ...
Hey there are so many products out there I was hoping for suggestion for breast pumps. Something I can use and still crack on around the house. Also a random question.

Is it possibly to overfeed a newborn? NHS website says you can’t overfeed a breastfed baby but we were told by a doctor this morning to limit feed times to half an hour because I’m over feeding. We were advised to give a dummy if he continues to search for milk. I’m breastfeeding on demand. I usually feed him until...
Any one elses breastfed baby just wanted to feed and sleep all day today with this heat? I know shes probably just thirsty but having a sweaty baby on you all day is just 🥵🥵🥵
Hey mamas. I’m curious on how long it took your milk to come in after a c-section? Any tips/advice to help with this process?
Any one else’s baby really gone of their milk today? I’m guessing it’s due to the hot weather? I’ve tried cooling her milk right down but she just isn’t interested!
Has anyone had success using one of these systems to increase or protect milk supply. I went to see an LC yesterday as my LO is 14 weeks now and still has slow weight gain. Main issue we are experiencing is that he falls asleep at the breast within a few minutes, especially in the afternoon and evening. The LC said ...
