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

Is there a way to increase the flow when breastfeeding? My baby gets kinda fussy bc the milk isn’t coming out as fast as it does with the bottle so usually just stop nursing her & give her a bottle 😕

Hey moms, when do you plan to stop breastfeeding. Bub is almost 8 months and I feel like I will continue until she is 1.

Hi guys my one month girl has been crying a lot latently especially past 2/3 days everything that needs to be done ✔️ changed fed and so on.. but not sure what this could be she’s on full formula milk the colic and constipation aptamil one as I came breastfeed. Also does anyone know how I can get her to breastfeed ...

Before I spend a ton on products, what has helped increase your milk supply? Breast-feeding was not going well for me or baby so I bottlefeed and pump but I have barely ever had any milk and my baby is almost 3 weeks old. It takes me multiple pumps a day just to get 1/2 oz of breastmilk 🥹 (I will pump multiple…

It's the second time I get it and I have no idea why as my baby feeds constantly even in the evenings. I am taking ibuprofen, having a bath, feeding. Any tips?

How do you find a good supported bra from other stores that actually fit well. I went to Victoria secret to get my boobs sized and they said I was a 34 DD and the last time I was sized was about 3 or 4 months ago they told me I was a 36C or a 34D

Baby is 6 months old and I’m just really struggling with her. She’s breastfed and have been trying to get her on a bottle for eeeks with no success. We’ve tried many brands and different people feeding her with no luck. The HV told me babies won’t starve themselves but I feel like she has..she’s scream for 12 hours ...

Im 4 weeks postpartum. My left nipple has cracked quite a bit since i started breastfeeding. Ive put the nipple cream on it, ive tried the silveretts, ive checked his latch, ive tried nipple shields, my nipple is just in constant pain especially during nursing. Is there something else that i could be doing wrong? Ho...

So I recently met a guy and yesterday we had sex. I was really cautious about him sucking me boobs because I’m still breastfeeding. He doesn’t know I have a child as it’s early and for now I think it’s just about the sex. We obviously wanna keep seeing each other but I’m not ready to tell him about my daughter and I...

I just breastfed my baby girl 2 weeks and she ate quite fast,soon after she finished and I pat her back to burp her she threw up almost all the milk she had at once. I kinda freaked out .This is the first time happening. Anyone has any idea why ?now I feel that she had nothing ,how soon shall I wait to put her back ...

I’m always hungry

Hi, my LO is 3.5 months and EBF. We were giving her a bottle previously and she was taking it fine, switching between nipples sheilds as well. I had horrific mastitis and an abscess for weeks and couldn't pump but we are fully healed and no longer using nipple sheilds either. We have started trying to introduce the ...

Hat medela pump would you recommend ? Whats everyone’s favourite types!

I'm going back to work in the new year and have been EBF up until now. I'm thinking it's best to start transitioning off the boob and start pumping. Would you start giving a bottle? Or is it worth at this stage? How else have you given breast milk if not in a bottle? We all know how hard it is to get a ebf baby to d...

Hii 😊 Little backstory , I used Tommee Tippee bottles first and it put my little girl off ever going back to breast feeding, the shape of her lips changed into an o and wouldn’t latch the same again, and moved to MAM bottles a few weeks later and it got worse however this time around I’d like to know what bottles…
