I’m very overwhelmed with mountains of articles and I don’t know what to do or where to start. I feel like I need a simple breast feeding for dummies pamphlet or something so I can have it spelled out what I need to know. I feel like the resources i've read are a bit wishy washy and leave me more confused. i just ...

I’m back to work (wfh) in January and wanting a pump that’s going to be efficient and keep my supply up. Any recommendations? I currently have the Elvie Stride but doesn’t feel like it empties me properly

I had grand plans to do this at 18 months but she’s had teething, hf&m and covid since! So we are at 19 months now. Throw at me all your advice on weaning off dummies pretty please.

So I would like to increase my milk supply so I will be power pumping the next couple of days. I was wondering what healthy snacks and meals you all ate when power pumping to help with calorie intake??

Sometimes when my baby makes noises or cries, my boobs kinda tingle/ache (not like in a hurting kinda way) Is that my brain summoning them to feed her or something? 🤔

I exclusively breastfeed my 7 month old baby but I’m due to go back to work in January. I’ll be working 12 hour shifts and I’ll need to pump several times a day. I have the momcozy S12 Pro handheld pumps and they’ve always been fine for the occasional times I’ve pumped but recently I’ve used them and I’m not getting...
