My baby is 8 days old and she’s wanting to breastfeed but keeps being sick from it. Had that ever happened to anyone? What should I do, I’m so worried🥺

Anyone who has breastfed before how long does it take to express and pump a bottle. I think I’m going to breastfeed and just use expressed milk for night feeds so it’ll be easier my partner can also help do some feeds .

My little boy is currently 12 days old, and I am currently in the process of trying to wean off Breastfeeding for multiple reasons. Is it better to wean down slowly and drop a few feeds at a time or just go to bottles straight away and pump when I need to for comfort? If dropping a few feeds at a time how much mi...

Any tips on how to get my boobs back to the same size?? My left boob is bigger then my right 🥲🥴

My milk is in on my left boob but not my right. It’s to the point where it drips out now. I’m 33 weeks with my first baby and I’m scared that it means she’s coming soon. Also should I start pumping? I don’t know anything about being pregnant so any info will help.

breastfeeding mommas know the feeling it was so hard to get my daughter off the boob so I just let her be on it until I felt she could understand I was able to get her off before turning 3 people would have so much to say because of her age but I’m happy it happened the way it did and I’ve seen so many changes in he...

Hi, I’m visiting Plymouth for the day today. Was wondering if there are any public rest rooms etc that also have a feeding room? My daughter is going through a really fussy phase with bf’ing, and gets distracted when feeding which is a battle! It would be ideal if I could find somewhere to nip and feed her while I’m...

Are the spots in my milk normal? I’m assuming it’s just separation of stuff but I am worried as my son is 2mo old and in the 1st percentile for weight. Sorry if this is silly :)

Hi Everyone! Just looking for a little advice, i have decided once little one is here i am going to Combi feed but express my breast milk and not feed directly from the boob so partner can be involved in feeding this too! does anyone have any tips, and can anyone recommend a breast pump please! x

I keep seeing mom put down moms for adding cereal or baby food to bottles to get them to sleep. This is bullshit bc 1 a knock-out bottle ARE BOTTLES MADE WITH SLEEPING MEDICATION IN THEM!! A bottle with cereal rice or babyfood isnt a issue bc a baby will not over eat and its like people dont realize this if a baby ...

Hey mamas! I have this situation where my sister in law is also going to be a mom soon and I am 12weeks pp. recently there was a discussion around sharing the breastpump since its expensive bt i dont feel comfortable sharing equipments used for my baby- need suggestions to avoid such situations with a valid cause an...

My 6 week old is combi fed by bottle with breastmilk and formula. We started giving formula as she wanted to feed every 1.5 hours and I could not produce enough breastmilk for this. I try and pump every 5 hours or so as I do not have enough time to sit and pump every 2 hours- previously this was fine and each time I...

I gave birth 13 weeks ago and I feel like my period is never coming back. I haven’t gone on birth control because it makes me so depressed so we use the pull and pray method lol I take a test every other week to make sure everything is fine but I use to like being able to track my ovulation and know my body more but...

Follow up to my poll. So on babies first birthday at 12month is it like a flip of the switch you just can start on that day with whole cows milk. Or is it still transitional?

I had it really bad when I got pregnant with my second and was still nursing. Luckily she self weaned pretty early on so it wasn’t a huge problem. My now one year old has gone to nursing 4 times a day at the most but is in the middle of a sleep regression. She is wanting to nurse for comfort for an hour to go to sle...

My little one is 3 weeks old. I have been breastfeeding since birth however as she is getting bigger I’ve realised she is never full when breastfed. I’ve been giving her formula between feeds and I’m just gutted that my milk is not enough. It’s definitely there but not enough. My baby starts sucking on her hands af...

We're having such a hard time getting our daughter to take a bottle. She's exclusively breastfeeding and overall that's been going well. When she was around 4 weeks, I began pumping and we introduced the bottle but then she started refusing it after a couple weeks. After a break, we've been trying to reintroduce it ...

Just wanted to vent cause I’m so down mentally. This is my second child and probably will be my last. So I really wanted to breastfeed till a year since I only made it 7 months with my son. But so far everything is failing and I’m trying not to throw in the towel yet but I’m not making enough for my daughter. I saw ...

Hi guys! I’m currently 6 months postpartum with my first baby and have yet to have a period. I breastfeed and I’ve heard it can set you back even later but is 6 months without one normal? I’m considering going to the OBGYN but I don’t want to overreact if it’s normal

Hi Mamas! Wondering if anyone has had experience breastfeeding with a nipple shield and if that has been overall a good experience? I have been using one for a month now because baby still kind of refuses to latch but I am terrified about the fact that I was told that the shield impacts transferring of the milk, alt...
