Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

I took a 15 mg delta 9 edible last night it was the first time I took an edible in 8 months. When I breast fed it was a very intense feeling and super relaxing. What was your first experience with edibles while breastfeeding? Was it uncomfortable? Did your baby act weird afterwards?

My son is due to start nursery two days after his first birthday. He will do two days a week. I’m planning to still be breastfeeding. What’s the best way to collect enough milk for him on days leading up to the first day of the week at nursery? Should I pump between feeds? I can pump while he’s there so the second d...

Hand expressing Colostrum I am 36 weeks and am trying to hand express colostrum. This morning I got 1ml. I think I ended up bruising my boob from squeezing too hard so obviously I am doing it wrong 😅 Any tips or tricks?

Is anyone else struggling with breastfeeding? I feel like she isn’t getting enough milk. I can sit there for an hour and she’s still hungry. I’m exhausted. drained and feel terrible if she still hungry :(

So I’ve made in 3 months of breastfeeding. That was my goal. My baby currently combo feeds. I would like to transition to just bottles, I don’t mind pumping right now but I keep going back and forth with stopping breastfeeding. Part of me feels like I need to keep going to bond with my baby and boost his immune syst...

I really want to end my journey with breastfeeding, I have loved every moment but it’s time, especially at night- I neeeeed sleep!! I know my daughter can do without the boob because I returned to work twice a week in October and she attends nursery for those two days and has no milk…and survives! So any tips or st...

I’m due to restart work in February. Our baby is 9months and has been exclusively boob fed since birth. I am planning on pumping to feed him for the hours at work. I have no idea how much milk I need to have ready each day. I’ll feed him in the morning and when I finish. How much are people pumping for a day?

Anybody else experiencing weird thoughts whilst breast feeding? I did with the first too and ended up stopping! I am pushing through with my second baby but my brain activity is weird whilst breast feeding. Anyone else experiencing weird things? (I’ve told the midwife, health visitor and they said it’s normal!)

For those who formula feed, no judgement whatsoever -- this is just a post aimed at those who want to breastfeed. I promise that even if it feels hard at first with baby feeding a lot, any discomfort as boobs/nipples adjust etc., it does get a *hell* of a lot easier if you persevere and seek support from local BF gr...

My nipples are getting that “white nuckle” feeling pinched and sore.

My baby is 3 and half month. I mainly breastfeed but she also used to take the bottle happily. Suddenly she is refusing to take the bottle.. anyone experienced this? Any tips?

Recommendations on a hands free breast pump please. I’m currently using a manual pump because the electric pump I have didn’t work very well and I feel like there wasn’t enough suction. I’m not getting much milk when I pump at the moment so I don’t want to spend stupid amounts of money when it might not work😢

What were the signs of yours has returned? Is it possible for it to come if I’m just breastfeeding?

Since this morning my baby keeps refusing the boob, he either latches and then immediately pulls off crying, or just won’t take it at all! I don’t know what’s wrong with him 😭😭😭

I’ve been BF for 4 weeks straight and she’s has been fine on it. All of a sudden I’ve noticed she will start fine, then around 5/10 mins in, she becomes very frustrated. She will still have the breast in the mouth but will start crying/straining/clawing at my breast. I take her off (sometimes she comes off by hersel...

For those EBF (this doesn’t include bottle fed babies/pumping mums) but ONLY mums who exclusively have their babies on their boobs: What’s your average time between feeds? We are averaging 2 hours now. Previously it was only one hour. Do any mums actually have the 3 hour space between feeds as EBF?

Baby is 4 weeks. Ive had a very difficult time since the birth. I had to have an emergency c section under GA which was traumatic enough, but then got a very serious infection and went to hospital on Christmas Day and was told my tissue was necrotic so I’ve since had 3 surgeries to remove quite a bit of my lower abd...

anxious that my milk won’t come in once little bub arrives. should i buy some of those mini pre-made bottles and take them to the hospital just incase?

Does your baby have milk as soon as they wake up in the morning?

Feel like such a failure and I know I am going to really miss it but I just think it’s best for our family & my baby. We gave a bottle of formula last night and got 4 hrs sleep!
