What bottles/cups has everyone moved onto for cows milk? How are we feeding to sleep if we can’t use baby bottles eeeeek xx

I've been breastfeeding for almost 2 years. Recently, I noticed that the shape and firmness of my boob's have changed. I'm so scared and shattered that I just want to cry. Will they ever come back to a more or less decent shape? I know they won't be exactly like before pregnancy. But I don't want to end up with slo...

I found these super soft bras on clearance at Kohl’s (I got them for $1.27 a piece 🤯) anyway the price was unbeatable but they have removable pads. I HAATE removable pads because they come out in the washer and get all bent and I hate squeezing them back in their little holes. Does anyone have a hack when washing…

My little one is 10 weeks old, I haven't had a period yet. I had a c-section, I'm not breastfeeding at all. The health visitor said it should return by 8 weeks. Is anyone else the same? Do I need to contact my GP?

My four week old is cluster feeding. I know that there is a growth spurt at three weeks and she cluster fed then as well, but I’m not sure why she’s doing it now. Is anyone else experiencing this

How do I overcome the feeling of guilt and failure linked to breastfeeding. Started off breastfeeding in hospital and felt like it was going okay but baby wasn’t gaining weight well. Was advised to top up with breast milk. At 2 weeks baby was being violently sick and was admitted to hospital. Discovered he had pylor...

I’m currently 4 days into recovery from mastitis. I pump to feed my baby via a bottle. I’ve noticed my milk supply really decreased in my breast by not in the one with mastitis (that has decreased but not by much) My breast that’s has decreased loads was my breast I got most of my milk off. Is this normal and wil...

I was an oversupplier, 6/7oz per side per pump. The last few days I've noticed baby starting to get a preference to the right sid so decided to use the Hakka on the left during a feed. I've went from producing too much to getting 10ml... I used the hand pump and pumped for a few mins every 15 mins for 2 hours and I ...

It does go with pressure applied

Any tips for trying to get a breastfed baby to take a bottle? Tried mam and tommee tippee but fully refusing - crying, arching back etc

This may sound stupid but how do I know how much breastmilk to put in a bottle for a feed? She’s 4 months old (18weeks) and she’s fed by the breast pretty much all the time. But soon she’ll be temporarily using a bottle for a few days and I don’t know how much milk she’ll need for a feed. Is it similar to the form...

Hi guys I’m just looking for some advice or reassurance really as feeling really tearful today. My LO is 11 weeks old Monday and has been EBF.

In full nesting mode this weekend and have threw out all my old nursing bras which were 2 years old 😂 Any recommendations?

Hi everyone. My little one 11 weeks olds and is Ebf, never had an issue with latching until she had her first vaccinations 3 weeks ago and then shortly followed by my first period. I think it might have tanked my supply as my little one became immensely fussy and crying. My supply’s back but she is beyond fussy when...

I’ve had a very disappointing and miserable experience breastfeeding this time. I’ve had breast pain the entire seven months. Trying to wean her now :( I’ve had two ultrasounds and a mammogram no abnormal findings but going for an MRI now which scares me it’s something more serious. 😳 Anyone have a similar…

My 5 months and 1 week started nipple feeding for couple of weeks, he never had a very deep latch but was ok-ish . Gaining weight, enough wet and dirty nappy’s.. but God in the last couple of weeks he latches as before but then kinda pulls back his head and just grabs the nipple .. it started becoming v painful.. ...

Has anyone gotten pregnant while breastfeeding?

I’m a size 10 but obviously boobs are massive from breast feeding. I need a breast feeding friendly dress for a spring wedding. Does anyone have any brand/website suggestions?
