This milk drying process is lethal I’m so engorged it’s crazy I can’t even move

When do the breast milk stop??? I have stopped feeding almost an month but still my breast milk doesnt stop at all.. any suggestions?

I am exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old. I still have not had a period since PP, and since I know the chance of getting pregnant is low, there’s a lot of times me and my boyfriend have not protected. But yesterday I had a weird feeling that I used to get in my ovaries when ovulating, so tonight I took an ovula...

I currently have a small cold, mild sore throat and runny nose. I breastfeed my son, I read that it’s ok to breastfeed as normal, but how can I make sure to not pass the cold onto him while I hold him? He’s currently having sleep regression and wants me to hold him or lay by him, or else he’s crying and awake. I’d h...

im getting a new one my momcozy m5s suck and destroy my already low supply. i use my spectra wall pump but i need suggestions for wearables when my husband goes back to work and i cant exactly be attached to the wall w/ baby

I’ve developed a huge lump in my right breast in the last 24 hours after an overnight engorgement.. I spent the whole day trying to unclog it with baby but I feel like it’s only got bigger! Has anyone else experienced this? It’s not painful just a random large lump? What did you do to help? I tried massages in sho...

Why is milk pushed so hard with kids? I have never understood it. Yes, it’s a lot of nurtients, but it’s simple to balance it out with other foods. I got yelled at over the phone 2 months ago by my lactation specialist/WIC lady saying I need to stop BFing my 10mo and give him cows milk. I don’t even buy milk? We’re ...

I’m a FTM to a boy. He is 4 days old. I believe he started cluster feeding so during the day I can feed like three times an hour and so on. I am getting nipple and breast pain when I feed him. It’s feels like an internal pain and it makes it hard to breast feed. Any tips? Also, he keeps peeing through his diaper an...

Has anyone started their period yet? I'm 2 months almost 3 months post pardon I wasn't expecting to see a period until my baby is almost 1yrs old....thinking about making an appointment because I am breastfeeding exclusively i don't want it to mess with my supply or if it does?

My baby just turned 10 weeks and I’ve been EBF and never tried pumping as I’m not sure how to start! Any advice would be hugely welcome please on how to start, how much is a good amount to aim for, when to start introducing a bottle / how often in a day / at what point in the day, best time to pump etc etc… I’m real...

Like I'm a natural oversupplier with my first child. If I were to get pregnant with my second, would I have the same oversupply? Or is there a possibility that I won't have a good supply and can struggle with it? Just curious

I feel like my hair is coming out in chunks! I know it’s normal but is there anything I can do to help it? I don’t think it helps I have it in a bun most of the time as my hair is long as was thick 🤣 and I barely have time to wash it never mind dry and straighten it!

If you’re smaller than a 21mm flange, they SHOULD NOT be telling you to use them. I have permanently misshapen nipples from EP-ing my first child (NICU baby) because nobody told me anything was wrong so I didn’t think anything was wrong until it was too late, and now I can’t even BF my second because of the damage i...

Has anyone got any advice on how to unclog a blocked milk duct please? I’ve been pumping for well over an hour and it doesn’t seem to be working. 😔

I’m using the baby tracker app, and each day is so different. ( baby is two weeks). How many hours are you nursing for and how long is each session.

After 9 weeks of breastfeeding I still don't have enough milk for my LO.... this is so discouraging knowing that I put him on my breast all day and all night but my supply still has not improved!! How long does it took you to provide enough? Is there still hope?

Hello ladies, I am EBF and my LO is 12w, today my boobs have started to feel very empty and jelly like. I am still feeding as usual, has this happened to anyone else? Seeking reassurance regarding my supply 😕

I’ve been exclusively pumping since my LO was 2 months and a week old. I set a goal then to pump until she turns 10 months, that is next week. Now I’m thinking about quitting it from today or tomorrow because it has been too tiring with work and two kids and housework. But there’s only a few days left until the baby...

Is anyone still breastfeeding? When are you planning to stop?

I’m nervous because I never really wanted to tandem feed. I’m hoping he won’t feel like he needs to nurse as often as the baby… I’ll also be having a C section. Any advice?
