My daughter is so addicted to breast milk. If she doesn’t have breast milk before bed she will not sleep. How can I wean her off of it? It was so simple with my son, he actually was the one that stopped taking it once he was ready (I wasn’t) Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, what are we doing, if anything, to try to even out our breasts while breastfeeding? Second time mom here, with a 6week old and I'm wondering if I can do this time around to make my breasts even. Baby boy has his preferred side, as they do, and I nurse him on both sides, but the left one is at least one...

I’m dealing with drop in milk supply and I’ve been asked to pump every 3 hours and power pump twice a day. My nipples are hurting and sore. I came across pumpin pal flanges. Has anyone tried it?

I really need some tricks and tips to increase my breast milk supply. I have been pumping irregularly but I was regular yesterday, every 3-4 hours and my supply has dipped.

Hi ladies! My baby is 12 weeks old and I feel like we have been struggling with breastfeeding. We were told at 6 weeks she was too small and to supplement with formula which I have been doing.

My baby is EBF and has started to nipple feed over the last couple of days - not sure if it’s too much dummy or teething?!It’s killing me, I feel like I’m right back at the start! Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone else’s baby bob around at the boob, latch then unlatch, and just generally get a bit frustrated at times? I have a 3 week old and in the last few days she’s become a bit fussy at the boob, especially my right one. I feel I don’t produce enough milk that side as it never feels as full or hard as my left. ...

So I used to breastfeed, now my baby is basically on formula. 3 meals a day, 1-2 snacks. Sometimes she won't eat much othr times she will eat well. In the night, she will wake 1-3 times and two of them wanting milk and will drink 5-6oz each time. Is this normal?? It's the only thing that settles her back to sleep....

I keep going back and forth on the idea of switching to formula as baby se...

For those who are breastfeeding, are you still wearing breast pads? I’m still finding the need to wear disposable breast pads in my bra, especially overnight. I thought the need would have passed by now, but is it just something to always wear while BF?
