Is this normal when breastfeeding? I wasn’t expecting my period back until after I had stopped 🙄 I had a c section

I’m not sure why but is there a way to avoid this?

Im so tired of pumping and breastfeeding all day. It takes up my entire life. I love the connection I get with BF my baby boy & providing him nutrition through breastmilk. I know that feeding the baby is most important and my mental health is not that bad. I’m just ranting on how tiring this is. Does it get any easi...

Sometimes there is no milk collected in my haakaa after feeding on the other side, even when the breast is full. Why is this?

I am EBF but I’m not going to lie - it’s hard work even still, 5 months in. I want to start getting excited about dropping feeds, once we start weaning. But which ones to drop? Part of me thinks it’s the nighttime ones (evening and 3am) as then my husband can help & I can also through… plus being able to BF on th...

Finding breastfeeding so hard. EBF baby from bottle and breast. Using bottle due to baby needing to put more weight on but the pumping/engorgement that this is bringing is so uncomfortable and demanding. Also trying to nurse baby myself in between as I’d like to do this more once she’s over birth weight, but the ove...

Weaned off pumping last week after 10 months of exclusively pumping. Have a lump on the top right area of my right breast. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this??

However, the unvaccinated must protect the vaccinated by getting vaccinated with the same vaccine that doesn't protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated until they are vaccinated against the unvaccinated?

I’m going on a cruise in 25 days, my little girl will be 8.5 months when I leave. I’ve tried different formulas, I’ve tried different bottles. None of it is working. I’ve tried having other people she trusts try and feed her. She just cries or chews on the nipple. I don’t know what to do. Everyone else says just let...

Any advice welcome! I’m hoping to breast feed my two Beans, I know this can be difficult and not for every mama or for every baba, any tips on how I can be as proactive as possible to make sure I can at least say I tried

Today I got the message that I could start collecting and pumping at 36w4d! I’m beyond thrilled with today’s collection but for some reasons most of this came from my left. Do I need to worry about my supply on my right?

My four week old newborn keeps falling asleep at my breast, but when she doesn’t fall asleep, she nurses for about 10 minutes (I cap it at ten if she stops) and then I switch her to my other breast. How long is it taking your newborn to nurse on each side?

He is also so fussy while nursing. Grunting, pulling, sometimes even biting down but when I stop feeding he yells (not cries but screams).

Can anyone recommend a electric breast pump please? The hospital have said the ardo bellis but interested in others views and what works best looking for one to use at home and a wearable one too!! Thank you

What do you do when you have a blocked milk duct. I have engorgement for 2 days , I did everything : warm cloth, shower..it’s so painfuk

I've been exclusively breastfeeding my baby for 6 months and she's growing well - meaning there are no supply issues. However I want to start pumping so my partner can feed her until she weans off. I bought momcozy pump and attempted to use it many times on various settings and various flange inserts, but the mil...

So, I just pumped after feeding my girly (on my right boob) and Reliable Ronda (leftie), who normally I end up pumping 2-2.5 oz from, gave me 4.5 oz?! While Overproducer Ophelia (right boob who girly fed off of) gave me 2.5 oz. However. This issue I’m actually having is in what looks like the consistency of milk in ...

I didn’t know when my breastfeeding journey would end and I always felt like I’d not want to stop, but recently, due to a number of reasons, I’m just not enjoying it anymore and would really like to try and wean my exclusively breastfed baby off the boob. She’s not taken a bottle since about 4 months, seems to hate...

I’m 4 months postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. No signs of period having returned. We aren’t using contraceptives but have been “pulling out”. What are the chances of getting/being pregnant?
