Where are you lovely ladies getting your maternity bras from? I’m needing some recommendations!

So my little girl is 9 months and has mainly been breastfed but has also been good at having bottles of expressed milk or formula since birth, however, the past two days she has refused my boob when I’ve gone to feed her. She just keeps biting me and I’ve been in tears not just because it hurts but because I’m not ...

Hi, I need some recommendations! My LO turned 2 months and had his 2 month shots Thursday. The day of shots he was really really sleepy. Friday night screamed for an hour and wouldnt breastfeed, ever since then he still does this and keeps randomly doing this. Very clingy and won’t nap unless I’m laying with him. ...

All of a sudden my nipples turn white after nursing. I figured it was a bad latch even though baby definitely ate and I didn’t have any pain. I’m not doing anything different so idk why this is happening. Also happened when I pumped. I have an appointment with a lc in a few days but wanted to see if anyone else has ...

I just had 2 mimosas at brunch and feel perfectly fine but I'm scared to nurse. I felt maybe a little tipsy for 5 -10 minutes now I'm completely clear headed. What do you moms do? No judgy comments allowed - I don't want to hear "just don't drink". That isn't always realistic.

My girl is still boob obsessed. How much does your baby nurse? Have you guys started weaning?

Feel like I’m pumping all weekend to work a couple of days. Baby didn’t take the bottle initially so haven’t been to bad as she’d just have 2 ounce in a cup but now she’s taking the bottle which is great but I don’t know how much to give per bottle or aim to pump.

My baby is breast fed but luckily does take a bottle here and there! I have a hen do at end of this month, I will be away from baby for 2 full days but not over night. My plan was to pump lots of milk for my husband to bottle feed him while I’m gone but honestly I haven’t really had time and my husband ended up usin...

My little boy is 5.5months and has two teeth. He’s exclusively breastfed and has now started biting my nipple when feeding. It’s not often but it’s starting to really hurt! How long will this last and how do I get him to stop 😅

So my little girl is 14 months old and EBF and lately I’ve had comments from a few different people asking why and when I’m going to stop breastfeeding. Has anyone else had this from others? Personally I’m going to stop when my girl is ready. But it feels like others either have a problem with it or are judging me...

I have a cold with severe nasal congestion and runny nose. What OTC medicines are safe to use while breastfeeding? I want to breath clearly, just for a while! Thank you!

Is it 4 days in fridge or 8 days? I always thought it was 4, but nhs says 8? But I never heard of it being kept that long

Hi everybody, I'm breastfeeding my baby for 8 months now. He doesn't take bottles, only cups. And I'm tired. I love my baby, but his teeth are hurting, and his moves a lot. Any advice?

Is anyone happy to share their experiences with breastfeeding through pregnancy? I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 My little one is 28 months and is feeding 3 times a day usually, but I’m really struggling with discomfort from tender nipples and aversion. I’m worried I won’t enjoy breastfeeding the new baby 😞…

So I've just finished breastfeeding after 10 months, and my breasts are looking so sad. They look significantly smaller, flatter, and let's just say it as it is, saggier :( I'm not even sure a good bra could do them any justice :( Is this it? Or do they go back to how they were?

Hello beautiful mums, just need suggestions on expressing milk to keep my milk supply going. I feel like Im not producing enough and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. I want to express milk but between feeding my baby. What would you recommend so that I also have enough milk coming when my bub is hungry

We had a rocky start with breastfeeding so I’ve also been pumping and topping up with formula. At the moment I can get her to latch only using nipple shields and only when I give her 30ml in a bottle first. I see lots of people saying breastfeeding is really hard, it takes time, etc. maybe I’m just being impatient...

I’m currently exclusively breastfeeding my 8 month old and looking to introduce a cup to get her used to not being on the boob in preparation for nursery in 4 months time. Trying to skip the bottle stage and use a sippy cup. Any tips?

Since Friday I think I have had a blocked milk duct, it’s a hard lump by the side of my boob next to the armpit. I’ve tried pumping, putting baby on, massage, cold and hot compress, hot shower and nothing has helped. It’s not red or swollen so I’m not too worried about it atm but it is very uncomfortable. Going to s...

How did y’all do it? I’m struggling over here. My baby will scream until she gets to latch on. She won’t drink any other milk. She will throw her bottle or cup lol
