Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

Hi all, I had my second baby 10 days ago and have the most sensitive/painful nipples. I am working so hard on my latch and didn’t really have any pain until recently with the cluster feeding. I breastfed my son for 14 months and would have thought it was easier this time around!! Anyone else in the same boat?x

I was so nervous about breastfeeding after hearing and reading so many stories about how hard it was. As much as I wanted to breastfeed I mentally prepared myself to formula feed. No one should feel guilty for how they nourish their baby. In tandem I did my research, took some courses (highly recommend virtual cour...

First time mum - my little boy still loves a bottle of milk before bed and I’m unsure when to stop giving it to him. Any tips how I can wean him off?

Does anyone else feel like their baby doesn’t settle at all unless just on the nipple ALL day? If they’re not sleeping they’re on the boob even after a feed 🥲😭 He’s 3 1/2 weeks old and I’m losing my mind because he hates the dummy and will just scream bloody murder unless I put him on the boob During the day he…

Those of you that give a bottle of expressed milk before bed, do you find it helps them sleep better? Or is it no different than straight from the boob?

I have an almost 16 month old boy and I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my daughter. I started to lactate mostly lymph fluid and I know that’s normal. My breastfeeding journey with my son ended early at 3 months as we couldn’t figure a latch together and it was better for us to formula feed. I’ve never had an issue with it...

Hey ladies I hope you all and your babies doing well. I just wanted to see if this is normal. My little one is sensitive to whole milk every time she drinks it she throw up everything literally same thing happens when she has yogurt as well. So I decided to switch to lactose free milk and the same thing happens she’...

Hi, just looking for some advice or support really. I'm a ftm to my adorable little girl who is 5 days old today. I'm breastfeeding and although it's going fairly well, I feel I have no idea what I'm doing. I read that baby should be doing 2-3 hour stretches but she's literally wanting boob every half hour or so! ...

has anyone gotten pregnant while breastfeeding?

Hi! I am formula feeding my baby (don’t want advice on this or opinions, there are reasons i don’t need to disclose - fed is best!) he is 4 days old, and yesterday i woke up to completely rock solid boobs, due to my milk coming in. i’m not using it, so expressing would only make it come back… i’m really sore, to ...

Have mamas that breastfed off one breast per nursing session and swap each time able to have a long sustaining breastfeeding journey? WITHOUT PUMPING — I use a boon trove on the opposite breast while feeding and catch about 1-2 ounces each feed. Im almost 6 weeks pp, and have been alternating these one sided feeds...

I’m about 6 weeks pp and I pump almost every 3 hours and get 2oz total each time, sometimes I’ll get 3-4oz first thing in the morning. Is this normal?

I want to start giving my little one breast milk bottles at night instead of feeding directly because it takes ages and I am sleep deprived. At the moment i am only pumping in daytime. Will not feeding him directly at night nor pumping at night affect my milk supply?

I really wanna have a drink tonight with my husband at dinner, but I’m so scared. What am i supposed to do to ensure it doesn’t pass thru my milk. I pump…

Hey yall! So I’m pregnant with my first and am dead set on breastfeeding if my body allows me to. I’ve also always been terrified of the nipple pain that comes with that bc my breast have always been sensitive in the first place… I’m trying to put together a baby registry right now and I came across those nipple cov...

I am currently nearly 11 months in to tandem feeding and 2 and a half years into breastfeeding I never had the urge to stop breastfeeding until recently because my toddler does not sleep at all and I feel it’s starting to affect my baby too because we are all up at all hours trying to resettle I won’t be able to ...

I've just realised by 1 our kids will be fully having 3 full meals at nursery with snacks ect but in my mind I was thinking that I need to start pumping and take milk for nursery. Do I not need to do this!? Is anyone sending their 1 year old to nursery with breast milk or formula (at least in the beginning while...

Don’t know what’s going

I’m feeling really sad about having to stop BF, I’m in tears everyday about it. I’ve had a rough time PP with lots of surgeries and I’m really unwell. The meds I’m on means I can’t breast feed. My LO is only two months and I’ve missed out on loads already. Feel heartbroken that I can’t breastfeed her as it’s a feeli...

There are so many different models, which do I buy??? Going crazy here!!!
