when do babies normally clusterfeed? I know they cluster feed the first few days before milk comes in, however is it true that they also cluster feed around 3 to 4 week mark? thanks

Hey mamas I breasfeed and don’t want to pump at all but is there anything I can use on one breast while feeding from the other to collect milk? Or perhaps even leave in my bra to collect leakage so I can use the milk later? I leak a lot so I feel I could make a collection in the fridge and then freeze for when neede...

Sometimes I just want to pick my baby up, go and have a sit down and a feed and just relax and enjoy that bond and moment. My baby will always have a suckle and a cuddle and a chit chat with me when we do this but is this normal? It's an urge I get just for that connection sometimes

Im literally in 2 minds about carrying in with the breastfeeding im struggling to keep up with it and and expressing at night but when ever i think about giving it up i get so emotional and guilty about it

My 8 week old is becoming increasingly fussy on my breast. She is mainly bf with one bottle in the morning so that her dad can feed her. The fussier she gets the more bottles she will end up having. Has anyone else experienced this?

My baby is breastfed and bottlefed with breast milk. I want to be able to have bottles/a freezer stash available. Because he is cluster feeding, I'm losing my mind trying to figure out when I can actually pump. I want to just try to get one consistent pump in nightly to start with, because he's been sleeping a bit m...

Does anyone agree with this statement? Baby girl is nearly 4 weeks, I EBF and no pumping either- I would love to know that the milk regulates eventually (to reduce the random engorgement episodes) and leaking calms down at some point 😅 Because this is giving ‘🐮’ haha What was your experience with milk regulating? Xx

Can anyone please recommend a breast pump? My cheap one broke last night and I don’t want my supply to fall so need recommendations asap please! No budget needed x

Y’all I think I’ve done my last pump. I Exclusively Pumped for almost 7 months .. and this last month despite my efforts I’ve dried up and had to supplement. It has really broken my spirit . I tied to so hard . My goal was Atleast a year . And here I am not good enough for my b… how do I get past this with “ I shoul...

I've seen some stuff on social media about how you shouldn't let your child fall asleep on the breast and you shouldn't give them the boob just to comfort them. Just wondering what reasons for this was? I have a 9 week old and in the evenings he falls asleep on ny boob, it's so beautiful and soothing for him 💕 also…

I feel like I’m failing massively. I’ve been trying for the past month to get my now one year old to drink from non teated bottles but she just won’t take her milk in them so I end up giving her a bottle. She’s also not a fan of breakfast and only wants a bottle. Help

Has anyone been prescribed Naproxen when breastfeeding? I have an issue with a disc in my back this weekend and the urgent care centre via 111 has prescribed this. I’ve only taken one dose so far and not noticed any difference in pain but things I see online have mixed feedback on use when BF. Anyone had it? LO is ...

Has anyone tried and successfully lost weight while breastfeeding without losing milk supply too?

Sounds silly but what happens at 1 years old? Do they then just go onto whole milk for all their bottles? Do you then reduce the amount of bottles? I'm so lost with it all 🙈

Has anyone tried them? do they do the job? With my baby we are really struggle with positioning ,my 2week old just doesn’t seem to get the nipple as deep as needed ,because she just doesn’t seem to want to cooperate the low lip to attach properly when sucking. She folds her low lip ,how can I avoid this ? Will nipp...

This might be more one of breastfeeding mamas with 2 or more - but any advice welcome. My little girl is 2 weeks Weds and we've haven't had the smoothest start to breastfeeding (but better than with my first!) she's had tongue tie and is fussy to get to latch at the mo. My husband is desperate to give her a feed t...

My baby is currently 19 months old, and we're planning to have a second baby. We've been trying for a few months now but haven't conceived yet. I was breastfeeding twice a day, and now I'm down to one. Has breastfeeding stopped anyone from becoming pregnant? With my first baby, I was pregnant one month after my IUD...

Is it okay to refrigerate leftover breast milk my baby didn’t finish? I don’t want the milk to go to waste. 😫

Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated. When she asks to nurse, I cuddle her and give her regular milk. She then throws a massive temper tantrum that can last 20mins or longer. She wants to nurse any time she’s sitting on my lap, and ESPECIALLY in the morning. It’s like constant in the morning. We still...

I don’t drink often but Im invited to a Friendsgiving and would like to have a drink or two
