Hey mums! Is anyone else having a hard time at 11 weeks? All my baby does is cry, I read up this is another growth spurt, but it's intense 😭! Probably doesn't help she has a milk allergy too. Is anyone else just in survival mode?

Anybody else’s bubba who are breastfed keep coming on n off the breast regularly? Like has a little drink then comes off to look around or watch TV then back on the breast again 😂 So cute

For me, I'd really like to breastfeed for longer (gave up at 6 weeks) and maybe start co sleeping earlier 💕 what about you?

I’m 7m postpartum and last month I finally got my period back. I exclusively breastfeed. So now kind of freaking out because I have a late second period I already took two pregnancy tests last week and they were both negative so I thought I’d for sure get it this week but so far nothing. No sings of it coming. Also ...

Hey ladies So I drank a tea and it made my period come 7 month postpartum I am annoyed by it as I am breastfeeding. I am wondering if I will come back next month. Someone had gone through this. Maybe the tea trigger some hormones

Hi, I am a first time mum and I’m struggling to feel confident enough to breastfeed in public. Can people tell me all the places that have feeding rooms/ are breastfeeding friendly. Thanks 🤩

Anyone who’s breast feeding keep going back and forth whether to stop or not 😭 I absolutely love it but feel pressured to stop (I know I should ignore it)

So up until last weekend my 4.5 month old was exclusively breastfed before we brought the bottle into it. She now gets really agitated on it and fidgety. Really don’t know whether to just give up and bottle feed or keep trying 🙈

I pumped 2 lots of 6 oz yesterday, put it in the fridge in a sealed bag and then took it out to drive home from work and have realised this morning I didn’t put it back in the fridge! It’s in a sealed milk bag and was cold but was in my bag for about 10-12 hours overnight. Will this be okay to use or do I have t...

My Lo is 8 weeks old breast fed but giving bottle of pumped milk a day. I would like her to take a dummy if possible as my first child did and found it a life saver. Any tips?? Things I have tried so far ..different kinds of dummy's, dipping the end in breast milk, giving it to her when calm, giving it to her when ...

How much do yall produce per pump and how far along postpartum are you? I’m an exclusive pumper and 7 weeks pp and make around 4.5-6.5 oz total every 2-3.5 hours. I make around 38-42 oz total per day and my baby takes 24-28 oz daily. I think I have a good supply but I now feel a bit insecure about it because everyti...

Does anyone else just feed on one side at a time? If she nurses on both sides the she gets too full and spits up a bunch. But from what I’ve seen it’s more common to nurse on both during a feeding session?

Has anyone tried slow flow baby bottles. We bought the philips avent ones, is it hard to get habitual to them between breastfeeding? Or vica versa?

We are in depths of cluster feeding… any tips? Feel like my boobs won’t survive the week!

Hi mamas! Just curious for those with babies under 3 months. Share how old your baby is and how much they are feeding and how often!

I need your advice. So with my first baby I started breastfeeding, but started pumping too so my husband could feed him too when i needed a break.He was crying a lot and I thought maybe hes not getting enough milk so I started pumping more and feeding him with bottle more often , and slowly he started refusing my b...

How do you know if your supply is dropping if you are EBF, once you regulate and breasts no longer get sore?

I have really flat nipples and even though I have managed one or two feeds at the boob each day since she was born, it tends to be a struggle. I started using nipple shields yesterday and they help but I’m finding I need to give her a bottle first to curb her hunger before she will latch on. Then she will feed for l...

Three days ago I had my baby via c-sec at 37+3 due to small for gestational age, however she came out a lovely 6lb 8oz and apart from a little jaundice which we managed to get over the line is doing great. I gave her colostrum and some infant formula in hospital and encouraged her to latch and suckle. She fed succes...

Anyone else sometimes just feel touched out after a day of nursing? I’m nursing and pregnant and am starting to feel bad because now some days I just don’t want anyone to touch me, which is hard because my hubby’s love language is physical touch 😓 I’m struggling with figuring out how to explain how overtouched I…
