Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm starting to worry a bit because my little one isn't a fan of water. Is this typical? If you have this problem, what do you do? Also, approximately how much milk should a 10-month-old be having in a day?

Our twins were born 36+2w and are now technically at 37w. When did you establish breastfeeding? We are getting conflicting advice from NICU stuff. Tried to latch them on during the last 2-3 days. No full feeds but maybe 2 good latches with sucking for 2-3min. One nurse says to try as often as possible and the other ...

Is it odd for 14 month old to still be having around 4 milk feeds a day?

What kind of milk is everyone using for the baby when they turn one I just don’t know anything about milk lol

Our baby is 6 days old and throughout the night is constantly wanting a feed, last night it was every 20 minutes and she was awake from 9PM-5AM this morning. Breastfeeding is just making me really teary and I’m at the point of giving it up. Any advice?

Due to baby girls weight, I was encouraged to formula feed for our first day and a half and was advised to pump to stimulate boobs (she wouldn't take to boob after formula due to being too tired). They then wanted me to pump so that they could track how much vol she was drinking - essentially did one feed EBF, next ...

Is breast feeding hard my firstborn wasn’t breastfed because I was scared to try it

Hi ladies, I give my lo full fat cows milk in the morning and before bed. When are we meant to stop ? I can’t find much online.

I’m a second time Mum to be so you would think I would know this… 😂 I had a momcozy breast pump last time but it was slightly loud and bits broke off. I really want to give the whole breast feeding another try this time but unsure what pump is best to buy. Also, do you breast feed on one and pump the other and…

Hi ladies my LO will be 9 weeks on Friday, I’ve been formula feeding the whole time and still haven’t had a period. I’m really worried something is wrong and it’s going to affect my chances of having another baby in the future, I’ve been having aches and pains for about 2 weeks but still not period ☹️

Hey! Question for exclusively pumping ladies mainly, but what is everyone doing about dropping your night pump? My little one is drinking 6 bottles a day and has dropped the middle of the night feed. I’m still waking up anytime between 2-4 to pump. I know this is one of the best times for milk supply so I’m worried ...

I am wondering if I can increase my supply after a month 😪

I’m trying to work and leave the house… Baby won’t take a bottle! Will literally cry and cry with nanny, refusing the bottle for 8 hours. It’s insanity and stressful. We have tried offering breast milk via straw cups, diff bottles, open cups, syring, etc she won’t drink her milk unless it’s coming from my breast. Pl...

Heyy Is anyone in the same boat where their milk still didn’t come in, or no signs of changes in breasts. Like if you’re over 36 weeks at least.. It’s weird, coz with my first child, my breast grew so much and I began producing colostrum towards the end of my pregnancy. Now with my second, not a leak of milk..

My baby is 6 weeks and as if yesterday she has started fighting the bottle and only has half her milk :( She normally has 2 ounces breast milk and 3 ounces Kendamil and has been putting weight on nicely. This is really out of character for her as she normally polishes the bottle off! Has anyone had the same?

Has anyone had any of those BM pendant/keepsakes made? Or done the at home kits? What was it like / how did you go about it ? I’ve been exclusively pumping for almost 9 months now and aiming for a year, hopefully 18 months and would like to get a little keepsake. Im leaning more towards those do it yourself at hom...

i’ve been breastfeeding and pumping for over 8 months now and it’s been going really good! my sons never had a bottle he’s strictly breastfed i only pump to make purées and to have backup milk. for the past few weeks my nipples have been so incredibly chapped and in so much pain. there’s cuts at the base of both my ...

Hey all I’m really trying to persevere with breastfeeding but how do I know my babies getting anything as my milks not come in yet? He seems like he feeds for ages and constantly hungry and trying not to give in to formula! Thanks in advance

Is anyone else experiencing their BF baby thrashing around with arms and legs during feeding? Also, coming on and off the breast, tugging and twisting the nipple? Is there something wrong? It's pretty painful...

So my breasts always used to feel hard and full when feeding. I knew when she would start to get hungry as my nines would go rock solid. The last few days they haven’t been getting hard but she is drinking until she sleeps most of the time still or seems hair and content. Has anyone else gas this. Im really worried...
