Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

I’ve just started using the Medela Swing Maxi hands free pump as I’m having to exclusively pump for our little one due to weight loss (she’s 8 days old at the moment).

My toddler is now 20 months and still breastfeeding on demand.. to be honest I wish I could stop but have no idea how as he's so attached.

I've not long started combi feeding my 5 week old with just one bottle of formula a day along with breastfeeding but I've noticed she seems to have gone really unsettled on me whilst breastfeeding fussing, crying and spitting up and her gas seems to be worse but when my hubby feeds her the formula she seems more con...

Mamas! Question? How long do you breastfeeding your baby from each other ages 0-12months to keep your milk supply flowing?

I have had a clogged duct for about a week. It has became been painful and red last few days. No fever. I called the doctors and they gave me dicloxacillin. I’ve been take hot showers and then breastfeeding and massaging but it hasn’t helped. Any advice? They said the medication is safe forr breastfeeding.

If you little one still has milk/formula before bed do you clean teeth before or after milk? We were doing it before as part of the bedtime routine, bath, teeth, book, milk, bed, but I’m not sure how good that is for her teeth but worried if I change it will wake her up! Help! What’s everyone else doing?

I have reduced my 17 months old breast feeds to two per day (when she wakes up and before she goes to sleep at night) but can’t see how to progress from here - it seems impossible to reduce further. Any tips/ advice would be so much appreciated. PS. I don’t even think that I have much milk left, if any - but not s...

So I really wanted to exclusively breastfeed so much, but I’m not producing enough milk so have to supplement with formula, and my right boob has an issue with the nipple, it’s inverted and it has become thick at the nipple so it hurts to pump. I’m not sure if it’s mastitis as I don’t have a fever or anything. I’m j...

I’ve just finally started having sex again as everything’s been so painful - I’ve not had my period yet and I still breastfeed in the night/regularly as my baby isn’t getting on with weaning so well and has always been a night waker. But of course breastfeed le...

I am a first-time mom and trying to figure out breast feeding. For those of you that are also breast feeding, are your nipples still extremely tender? It almost feels like a bee sting! My baby does have a pretty shallow latch, which definitely is part of the problem. I just don’t know how to heal my nipples while ...
