How much breastmilk do you feed your baby per feed / a day? My baby is EBF but I’m thinking of moving away from that and pumping and bottle feeding during the day but I’m worried I don’t pump enough? When I breastfeed it’s obviously enough because he gains weight, has dirty nappies etc but when I pump it just seem...

Does your little one still drink milk before nap & bed? Are you planning on stopping when they turn two?? Im lowering my little ones ounces every couple of weeks.

Those of you who know what you’re going to do, I’m trying to make my mind up. What are your reasons for your decision?

I’m 10 weeks postpartum as of tomorrow and over the last two days, I went from pretty much exclusively breastfeeding (aside from 1 formula bottle at night) to needing a top up during every feed and a significant one too (100+ ml)!! It literally feels like my milk supply took a massive hit over night and I’m so overw...

How are mama’s taking out breast milk that has been expressed to make sure it stays cool? If going out for the day or going out longer than the couple of hours that it can stay at room temperature, is there a way of extending this and making sure the milk is safe for baby to drink?

Anyone have a routine they can share on how and when they manage to collect colostrum please? Been struggling to make this is a priority and now when it gets to afternoon/ evening time I remember and usually manage to massage breasts for couple minutes and then don’t remember to do this again. I’ve watched the video...

Has anyone ever received motherhood/breastfeeding jewelry? Husband surprised me with this Mothers Day gift (was awaiting shipment)… a necklace in honour of my breastfeeding journey and said he is proud of me

So I exclusively pump, and I plan to do AT LEAST until she’s a year (she’s 10 months this weekend). But if I can I want to until Christmas. However I really want to get a new tattoo for my bday in August. Does anyone have actual first hand experience of this? Researching online gives articles from folks who haven...

I’m 13 week pp and still haven’t got my periods. I’m combi feeding my lo.

Hey, mamas! I need some honest advice and reassurance. My little one is almost 6 months old now, and while he’s a bit smaller than other babies his age, he’s super healthy and hitting all his milestones. Lately, I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure (maybe not lately only since birth!!) when people comment on his siz...

My momcozy pump sounds like it’s puffing air. I don’t seem to be getting as much milk out either with it today and I usually have a good supply. What could the issue be? Is there a part loose?

Does anyone else’s toddler not drink milk ? I feel like all I’ve read and seen is that from 12 months they are suppose to be drinking milk ? Or an alternative. My baby isn’t interested at all. I feel like I am doing something wrong because she doesn’t take it.

Any suggestions/advise how to slowly transition to whole milk from the breast? I don’t use bottles , bubba drinks straight from the breast. I hear methods from mums transitioning from formula by gradually adding milk to it 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% overtime but how can I do this if I breastfeed without bottles😆any tips…

I started to pump more frequently after every breastfeeding session, and I only get about 2 oz in every 20 min session.. my baby eats a lot more, though, and I'm concerned with this issue. My baby hasn't reached his birth weight either, which is even more concerning. Any tips on how to increase the supply?

This evening I went to get my nails done. I do this at my bff's house I have a private tech (she's a family member that comes to me) usually I bring my daughter(3 months on Saturday) but my best friend has pots and has been pretty episodic today so didn't feel comfortable handling the baby if necessary. Well I forgo...

Hi I left my milk out 4 hours more than the 4 hour window but I am heartbroken and low on supply. Does anyone know if it’ll be fine it was never refrigerated

I breast feed on demand and I do solids as well so I wanna know if there’s any other mommas feeding like that and what are some meals you feed baby? How many meals a day of solids? How often do you breast milk vs solids? I’m scared I’m not feeding her enough, her doctor says her weight is good but that was for her 9...
