Community Posts, Tips & Support on Breastfeeding

I’ve been EBF for 4 months but starting to pump to build up a bit of a storage of milk. Just wondering how you all store your milk for those in similar boat? Are bags the best option so they freeze easier?! I’m trying to work out the best routine / practice for this so any tips would be great! And do you all steri...

Anyone else still breastfeeding on demand. My LO really cut down feeds but the last 2 weeks or so hes been constantly wanting milk and throughout the night with so many wake ups. Not sure if this is normal or not 😭

Hello all so had a baby 8 days ago and my milk has come in on my left side and not my right is this normal does anyone know

Are any of your toddlers still drinking milk from a bottle?

How much milk should they be having now? Since he is sleeping through the night sometimes having 1 feed i seem to not really have much milk or maybe its just enough for the day I don't know 😩 he has breakfast and sometimes another meal but not always. Also how do you stop breastfeeding and move onto bottles/cups.

Is it just me or does the guilt not go away when you stop breastfeeding. I stopped breastfeeding when my son was a month old and now looking back I wish I would have continued I beat myself up about this and wish it would just stop. I’ve thought about re-lactating so many times. Send help😩

My 5 month old has suddenly stopped taking a bottle! Any tips on what to do? I breastfeed mostly so usually isn’t an issue but I’m planning on going out in a couple of weeks and ideally need him to take a bottle of either breast milk or formula…..

How many times do people sterilise their breast pumps a day?

I pumped this milk on Feb 19th but it seems like it’s separating! Has this milk gone bad?? I’ve kept it in the fridge this entire time

Looking to stop breastfeeding now. We have got days down to like a feed or two. What I can’t understand for the life of me, is how you get a baby back to sleep in the night without boob. Mine has always fed back to sleep in the night (Co sleeping here). I tried to say no in the night a couple of days ago. She was fi...

This last week my 10 week old suddenly doesn’t latch properly and I keep having to redo it so there isn’t a gap to let air in or have milk leak out 😩 She’s been doing the same with the dummy and you can see the sides of her mouth open.

Hello I’m exclusively pumping and I was an oversupplier (up to 20oz per session) I’m back to the gym and workout every day but since then my supply is so bad! I barely got 4oz with my morning pumping today! I wanted to last until she’s 6 months before switching for Formula but I don’t think I’ll have much choice ...

My toddler is 18 months Can he have some of my milk? I recently gave birth

Anyone else still breastfeeding their little one finding they just want to lay there and suckle for a bit at random intervals throughout the day? She used to be pretty consistent with only having breast milk at nap times or bedtime but just recently she's been wanting it throughout the day, just for comfort it seems...

Had my 6-9month check where I found out baby was quite underweight. Only 6.5kg. She was born at around 4kg so the weight gain in 10 months is minimal. HV is stressing me out, and honestly is scaring me saying she will "most likley die" if this keeps up. I argued with her so she us not my favourite person right now....

I’m 23 weeks tomorrow. I’ve seen a lot of posts on Reddit of people leaking as early as 15 weeks. I’m worried I won’t have a good supply!

Has anyone had a successful transfer while still breastfeeding another child? I am still breastfeeding my successful embryo baby who is now 21 months, and isn’t showing any signs of stopping. We’re ready (as we’ll ever be) to try for a sibling. We only have one embryo left and I will be 40 next year so don’t want to...

Okay so it wasn’t until recently like within the past weeks , im noticing my breast is itchy . Its kind of annoying me because now im walking around scratching my boobs all the time😭 Again it wasn’t like this until recently so what’s going on ?!? I still wear the same nursing shirts as before I haven’t worn a…

I’m currently exclusively pumping and bottle feeding my 10 day old. How does everyone warm their breast milk on the go, whilst out and about? Xx
