I’ve heard drinking beer while breastfeeding helps boost your milk is it true? If so which one should I drink?

My LO is 7 weeks old this Friday. During the day they breastfeed for about 20 to 30 mins, every 2.5 to 3 hours. They don't seem to be getting any quicker at feeding. Between the hours of 9 to 12 pm however they just want to feed non-stop. They can be on the boob for 2 hours at a time. If they fall asleep and I put t...

For those of you who breastfeed and pump. What schedule do you follow? Right now I’m exclusively pumping and do it every 4 hours. I want to try to get her to latch for a few sessions too. So how would I do that

Im exclusively pumping. This was for today after one pumping session. Is it normal fpr there to be such a small fatty layer. Ive been pumping 15-20 minutes one each side. Also my supply has been dropping. Hows the best way to fix this my kiddo is almost 3 month. If i pump every 2-3 hours im only getting 1.5-3 oz per...

Any new moms moved to formula after trying breast feeding- would love to here your experience- really struggling with breastfeeding and worried about her not eating enough 3 days post partum only getting colostrum and not latching

Can I get pregnant even tho I’m breastfeeding ? I’m bit concerned as we did the deed and we didn’t use protection as I thought one time happened can’t be pregnant but now I’m having second thoughts 💭 I don’t have my period yet it’s been 8 months and even if I end up pregnant I wouldn’t even possibly know unless I…

I’m now 9 weeks PP & still no period. I’m not breastfeeding nor have I with this baby. I stopped the after birth bleeding at 3 weeks. I’ve had cramps now for over a week and a bit of lower back ache but no sign of a period. Has anyone else not had one yet? I don’t know if and when I should be concerned😬

If anyone wants a rant about negative comments towards feeding go ahead lol. Constant negative comments from my MIL. I don’t understand it, why is there always such negativity towards breastfeeding? She has a serious issue with the fact I’m breastfeeding 😂

Mine started today at 6 weeks and from what I’ve heard it typically comes later or doesn’t start till after you’re done breastfeeding. Is this normal?

Hello My nipples spray an insane amount during feeding and my baby girl hates it. I think the spray hits the back of her throat and she chokes and screams. She will pop off and it will spray everywhere sometimes in 4 separate streams. I have to take a cloth and apply pressure and that usually makes the spray stops ...

Random…. What are you all wearing to bed? I wear a bra because I worry my breasts will leak but it’s SO uncomfortable. Any recommendations would be truly appreciated!!!

My son is now 14 months and been BF since birth. My initial goal was 6 months, then a year & now we’re still going! I absolutely love being his comfort & giving him everything he needs. But we’re having some issues. In the day he is constantly pulling at my top, pinching my nipples until he gets fed. If I don’t l...

35 weeks and need something non expensive to get me through the final weeks and into the post birth period. I am currently a 36H, but probably more 38J. I'd normally head to Bravissimo, but can't justify the expense! A nursing option would be good, although not essential.

How often are everyone’s babies at the breast for? Mine is 8 days old and seems to either be on for 10/15 minutes or sometimes 45 and I’m not sure what’s normal x

Hi ladies, merry Xmas to you all!! This is second baby for me now (2 days old) and first baby I exclusively pumped due to a poor latch and really determined to feed from the boob this time. However, it really really hurts, I don’t know if this is a poor latch or just my nipples getting used to it. It seems almost...

Merry Christmas mammas 🎄 I have a 9 month old (today!) little girl who is ebf but will happily take a bottle as well. I have gone through quite a stressful patch the last few months and I think my milk supply has dipped- haven’t really been drinking enough either tbh. I’m trying to start adding a few pumps into…

Hi everyone, I’m a first-time mum and would really appreciate some advice. I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy a week ago via emergency C-section under general anaesthesia due to unforeseen circumstances. As a result, I missed the early days to properly establish breastfeeding. To make sure he’s getting enough m...

Hi moms, Looking for dummies recommendations for 3m+ babies. my baby is exclusively breastfed, but sometimes I feel he doesn't have a good latch. He doesn't open his mouth wide enough. His current dummies are due to be replaced, and I was doing some research about them. There are some brands that mimic the breast wi...

Breast feeding and drinking I’ve never looked into cause I haven’t drank but it’s Christmas and I would like a drink baby breast feeds on a morning at lunch and for bed time what’s the time frame for having a drink and feeding? And what ever else I need to know thanks.
