Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

The person who said " breastfeeding helps you lose weight" is a liar! Lol, I breastfed for 10 months and didn't lose a pound. I don't regret the journey, but im not going to lie. I only started for that possibility. Then, I ended up really enjoying feeding my baby and understanding how AWESOME we are as women !!!!!...

I just finished breast-feeding and my boobs are now a saggy A cup… has anybody ever experienced maybe them filling out a tiny bit overtime over the years? Even just alittle bit :(

Finally able to start expressing and collecting colostrum, does anyone know if I can collect what I pump, pop it in the fridge and then collect some more so I’m not wasting syringes with tiny amounts?

I'm exclusively breastfeeding my baby (almost 5 weeks old). My right nipple is so sore & isn't getting a chance to heal. If I feed baby off my other breast and pump from the sore breast for a day or 2 to allow it to heal, will it affect my milk supply in that breast? I don't want to do anything that will make my sup...

Hi I am a FTM and need some encouragement or to hear other’s experiences. I am exclusively breastfeeding my 2 month old baby boy and still feel a little uncomfortable breastfeeding in public. I have a breastfeeding cover to use if I am in a restaurant or something but I usually just go to my car to feed. How have y’...

For mommas who have / are currently EBF or EP, please tell me how you increased your supply. I'm four weeks postpartum with my second baby. By the end of her first week, she'd lost about 11% of her birth weight, which worried her pediatrician. Up until then, I'd only been breastfeeding and never realized she wasn't ...

Morning all, happy Easter! I am just curious to know if your little one is still have bottles. Our girl has a morning and evening bottle but I would like to get her out of using a bottle soon. Sometimes when she is unsettled she will have another bottle around lunch time but is that too much milk?

Any good or bad experiences with pumping and 🍃

Hi all, My LO is almost 8 months now and he keeps biting my nipple at every feed, I’m so scared to feed him haha. I have tried so many things like: saying ow, yelping, pushing face into boob, saying no, immediately stopping the feed and putting him down, unlatching. It doesn’t matter what I do he just laughs at m...

Since 11pm baby has been feeding almost constantly. Will settle and go to sleep but then wake and be mouthing... is this normal for cluster feeding?

What wearable pump do you use? My baby starts crying and wakes everytime I try to use a pump😩😩 I can’t just sit for 20 min to do it.

Are your breasts sagging? Changed shape since the pregnancy?

I’ve been breastfeeding and pumping for 10 months now and would like to stop because my husband needs more help with the baby. He says that it’s my choice, but I feel guilty. My husband keeps telling me not to feel bad and has complemented me for sticking to it for this long. Anyone else experiencing something like ...

My girl is ebf. She had been going longer between feeds. Now eating 6-8 times in 24 hour period. Is this normal?? I feel like she’s not eating enough but she is as happy as can be

I have so many questions about having a newborn like I’m nearly 20 weeks now and I have so many questions🤣 I think it’s just my anxiety kicking in🤣 like how regular are you meant to feed? how many ounces of a milk do they have at first? How often do you bathe them? Are you allowed to bathe them straight away? How…

Just me, my pump, and 3 hours of sleep. Any other midnight milk makers out there?

My baby will be 2 weeks tomorrow and I breast fed from birth, however last week the pain when she was latching became unbelievably painful (I felt like I couldn’t breathe when she was latching on). I spoke to my midwife who recommended pumping to give my nipples time to recover. I have now been pumping for 4 days bu...

I’m on my fourth and final baby and I’ve always wanted to breastfeed but have never managed it until now… problem is she’s insatiable and I have two other girls under 6 that also continuously need my help and attention as well as an extreme case of hungry Velcro baby. She feeds every 2-4 hours even at night still at...
