Any one breastfeeding as well as pumping to occasionally bottle feed, how many times are you pumping to build a stash? And when are you finding the bed time to pump is?

My baby is 12 days old and currently having one pumped bottle in the night to give me a break, but looking to introduce more bottles soon. Tia.

Milk on nursery days

For those of you who have put your LOs into nursery, after a full day and dinner in the evening when you get home, does your LO take much milk in the evening? My LO only took 2oz but for dinner had an omelette a banana and an orange?

Cosleeping/breastfeeding

Anyone else struggling with a fast letdown when breastfeeding

I had the same issue with my first child and thought it was from expressing too early but I’ve not expressed this time and it’s still happening. She chokes and gets annoyed. I’m going to go to a breastfeeding group but wondered if anyone had any tips in the meantime? I am trialling hand expressing some first.

Breastfeeding Vs formula feeding

Heyyy! Was just wondering if people would share their experiences in regard to formula Vs breastfeeding. I am unsure of what to do for many reasons.

Momcozy pump

Which momcozy pump is better? I have very large boobs so a bonus if anyone can reccommend a certain model based on it being good for large boobs! I know people have mixed opinions on this brand but I'm able to get the pump almost free via work rewards system so not really looking at other brands.
