Do I have to breast feed till my baby’s a year old? When can you stop breastfeeding? And what do you give instead?

I have gone out with my son and I have tried feeding him with a cover on, but it’s so hot. How have you ladies been able to navigate breast-feeding in public and being comfortable without a cover? I don’t want him to get too hot under a cover, especially since it’s only going to be getting warmer with summer on the ...

HELP MAMA!! Hey guys I am currently breastfeeding my 3 week old- the first 1.5 weeks was a nightmare as my LG was tongue tied. This has now been snipped and feeding is a lot better.

Anyone still breastfeeding and still not given cows milk as a drink even in the day ?

My little one is 7 weeks old and she isn’t opening her mouth wide enough to get a deep latch. She’s gaining weight and although it’s not painful, it can be a bit uncomfortable during feeding. I’ve tried nipple to nose, dragging the njpple down the lips to encourage but she just chomps! Trying to do the shove of love...

I am nearly 23 weeks and haven’t decided whether I will breast feed yet. For any mummies that have had their babies, do you nurse within the hour once you’ve given birth? And if you don’t or (can’t) breast feed does the hospital help and provide you with a bottle and formula feed or is this something I should plan ...

I have to go back to work at soon and I'm a Nurse so I'll work 12 hours and I want her to start getting off of breast feeding.I tried some follow on milk from the cup rece...
