My little bubba is 7 months old and I am thinking to stop breastfeeding. Any suggestions on how I go about doing this ?

Hey! When did y’all start pumping? I have a one weeker and am exclusively breast feeding right now… I want to pump eventually but have been reading not to start until she’s 3 weeks.

This might seem like a really silly question but I’m a first time mum to a prem baby ! When do you know to start giving them more milk? If I give my baby 90ml he will suckle after to say he’s hungry , but he will also do that if you give him 120 ml, so when do I know how much milk is enough and how much I should b...

My baby on occasional feeds has started clamping down on my nipple when feeding. Not pleasant! If she does it when she has teeth that will be my breastfeeding journey over, unless I can stop her doing it. The expression on her face shows that she is doing it on purpose (like a little demon 🤪) and I can’t work out…

My baby is 12 days old and I am still struggling at times to get him to open his mouth wide enough to latch on. When he eventually does it, he latches on well and feeds well. How long did it take people to get comfortable with feeding and for their baby to latch on quite quickly and also for their nipples to be less...

Can anyone give good recomendations for handsfree breast pump as I am struggling which one to buy

Hi! I'm 2 days postpartum, and I just started pumping. I was wondering how long it took for your nipples to get used to pumping and stop feeling tender?

Hi ladies. I’ve woken up this morning again with mastitis. My daughter is 9 weeks old and I have mainly been exclusively pumping the breastmilk for her, with the odd formula when I haven’t produced enough (I’m a just about supplier). I told myself that if I got mastitis again I would be stopping my journey with th...

Don’t know if it’s a mixture of sweat, milk and baby’s saliva or something else 😣

My little one is starting nursery soon but is still breastfed, he does not want formula or a bottle. Anyone else in the same boat? How do I go about this? Can I just get him into a routine where he has the breast morning and night?

I’ve always fed on demand rather than on a schedule however as I’m due back at work in two weeks 😢 I’m wondering whether I should be trying to get more food in him rather than letting him have milk so it’s not too tricky for my mum or the baby when I’m not there? He currently has feeds roughly at: * when he first…

So basically, my partner and I have decided to split up because he cheated on me while I was pregnant (I’m 4 months pp now). We tried to make it work but I struggled to let go due to how hurt I was and still am about it. Anyways since we’ve broken up I’ve not been extremely sad or anything but I have felt low. Not...

What’s the best wearable pump in your opinion? And the best one for moms with size DD breast of larger ?

Has anyone else’s baby become really fussy when feeding? During the day if we’re out and about she gets too distracted and in general she’s feeding for less time, comes off the boob etc? I feel like she’s barely getting any milk but maybe she’s becoming more efficient? I’m EBF with a bottle of expressed milk once a...

Who's had success in taking milk out of the bedtime routine thus far? I've been working on separating the 2 for a bit now & today he didn't drink milk at all before bedtime or his nap! He just didn't want it anymore! If you've had success, how did you stop & when did you stop offering it all together?

Hey Mamas, I've recently joined this group and needed some advice. I've been exclusively breastfeeding my baby since he was born. He's 11 weeks and I've tried giving him a bottle with expressed milk and formula but he doesn't like it at all.. he'll just cry with the bottle in his mouth. Both myself and my husband ha...

Hiii so i am EBF my four month old and I’m also expecting my fourth baby in June of next year I am currently using a manual pump and it gets extremely frustrating at times so I’m looking at electric pumps and was wondering which electric pump you ladies found to be the best this is my first time breastfeeding out of...

Can breastfeeding mums have Starbucks eggnog lattes?

I'm breastfeeding and struggling to lose weight and I'm hoping I'll lose it once I'm done.

This mum is exhausted 😫 is this normal?!? Just very fussy…exclusively breastfeeding . If he going through a growth spurt? Hope he’s not hungry he’s having wet nappies etc When to introduce a dummy? Will this “interrupt” me establishing breastfeeding as he’s 6 weeks today….when should I introduce a dummy or…
