Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

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...

Im 9days postpartum and my milk supply isnt what i expected it to be. I exclusively pump and been getting only 20ml on an average per pump. Been giving her formula and feel so lost. 😞 How do i increase my milk supply, tried drinking a lots of fluids and it doesn’t seem to be helping.

I am a ftm and I am not sure what I am looking for lol. I currently have a Ameda mya joy plus but I am going back to work in 3 weeks and I need a good hands-free pump. What are some recommendations?

Breastfeeding was more challenging 2nd time but my supplies been great and never needed any formula top ups this time. But would like to do 1 in evening to free up my time for toddler But like why is being able to say my baby is EBF such an important goal in my own head? Like what does that give me? A badge of hono...

I go back to work on the 14th and don’t want to deal with breast pumping at work. It’s just too much of a headache honestly. But I’m not sure how to *stop* breast pumping. I assume I can’t do it cold turkey? I leak too much if I go too long without pumping. Do I just space it out longer and longer until I don’t need...

Is anyone else nipples really sore. I am 3 weeks and 3 days postpartum. I am expressing the milk then giving it to my baby through a bottle. I am currently finding after expressing every 2 hours that my nipples are so sore that when it's time to pump again it hurts. I only have it on level 1 atm as that's all I can ...

Hi ladies! I have been exclusively pumping for 6.5 months. My supply has slowly dropped but now I'm lucky to get 10oz a day. I've tried the vitamins, cookies, power pumping, nothing worked. I'm considering domperiodone but it seems to have some wicked side effects. Plus with a 6 Month old, I think ill find it hard t...

How do you feel about using second hand pumps especially the wearable pumps? Do you guys think it will be okay to use if washed and sterilized?

After my first baby 2.5 years ago I struggled BAD with milk supply issues. Just when I thought I could build a stash, my milk production levels would drop so low I had to use the milk I just froze that week. Latching? Forget about it, Supplementing with formula? Sounded cool but my daughter would throw up and become...

I have heard some people say to offer the baby water in the night when they get up instead of milk to help get rid of the night feed. Has anyone tried this?

Is there such a thing as a breastfeeding friendly sports bra? I've only just gone back to the gym 4 months post partum. I've been squeezing my boobs back into my old, pre pregnancy sports bras. I noticed that there was a LOT of boob movement, so I'm after something more supportive. Recommendations please x

I have been exclusively pumping for 5 weeks and have made the decision to stop as I am constantly engorged and uncomfortable as I over supply. How do I wean/stop without getting blocked ducts and mastitis? Help!!

So I am having an issue where most of my milk is now going to my left boob I am now 2 weeks postpartum. I’ve tried to help my right boob which is slacking by pumping and getting him more on that boob and nothing is working. Yesterday I did a Frida lactation mask on boob and it fixed it for 2 hours and back to the sa...
