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?

Weaning at 5 months and two weeks ??? Does anyone think I shouldn’t? I’ve got a baby who seems like milk isn’t hitting the spot on its own 🤣🤣

My baby is almost 7 weeks old and for 1 feed of the day around half way through she will start gulping the milk down and crying/fussing like she’s in pain. If we take the bottle away she screams but also doesn’t drink it properly while it is in her mouth. We’ve tried winding her but she just screams until the bottle...

I have some retained placenta in my uterus and I’m having it removed next Wednesday after waiting 7 weeks for it to be looked into. Has anyone had General Anaesthetic and/or surgery that can advise on what to expect regarding feeding? I’ll try pump before hand to cover the time I’m actually in hospital, but is the...

My little one has been bottle and breastfeed since birth but now only accepts the bottle. I'm gutted. He won't latch on anymore or open his mouth wide enough x

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for almost 9 months now and wanted to switch to bottle feeding so my hubby and I can take turns feeding him. I tried Dr. Browns & Philips Avent but he didn’t like it at all. Any bottle suggestions please?

How did everyone kinda get on to weaning your baba? What was the routine? Like when did you give milk? When did you give ‘food’ that kind of thing. Sorry all new to this! thank you x

My little girl is 18 months old, and we are still breastfeeding only on a night time before bed. She just won't go without 🙈 it nice she still wants to but God knows how I'm going to drop this own feed 🙈

My baby is 17 weeks and she isn't taking a bottle at all!

What bottles is everyone else using for their breastfed babies? My besties hen ...

Any tips on getting a poorly baby to drink their milk 😩😩

Hi, can anyone recommend postnatal breastfeeding supplements? Little one is 10 months. Have been on the Holland and Barratt ones but up for trying something new. Thanks!

Just a quick question - I have the M5 Cosy breast pump and want to clean / disinfect it , what is everyone doing to disinfect their pumps?? Especially if you have the same one!!

I’m 5 months PP just got mine today and feel such a wave of depression, not. Sure if it’s the hormones, or I really was just hoping not to get it longer, or both haha. Does everyone’s supply drop during? My supply goes up and down regardless so it’s hard for me to tell

Help! My right boob is like 2 sizes smaller than the left one! My baby clearly has a favourite one. For the last 2 weeks he kind of refuse even to latch on the right breast. What can I do to fix it? I tried to pump from the smaller but there is almost nothing I feel like that’s why he doesn’t like it. How can help...

Hi all, My 5.5 is taking about 3oz of pumped breastmilk every 4 hours to 5. i don't think that's enough for her. I know each baby is different, but I just wanted to see what everyone elses babys are roughly drinking. Thank you in advance.

I’m feeling very discouraged & I’m reaching out for some encouragement.. my husband and I have been trying for months to get pregnant but it’s just not happening. I think it’s because I’m still breastfeeding and maybe I’m having hormone fluctuations… has anyone been in this boat? Did you have to completely stop nurs...

Hey, any mums using the X teat for their baby? Does it have to be with thick liquid or can it just be milk?
