How's your period after the C-section? It's been 10 months, and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. I've already had one period about 2 months ago, but no sign of the next one... Is this normal?

Hi all! I am 10 days PP and have been struggling getting breast milk. After getting some colostrum right after birth, regular milk started coming out in small quantities (few ml) but not enough to feed baby fully on (e.g. baby would latch for a long time and then shows signs of hunger so we need to complement with f...

If you breastfeed but don’t feed to sleep for their last feed of the day… how do you do it? Do you feed before bathtime? We’re trying to improve little ones nighttime sleep and feeding to sleep very clearly does not help the situation! Thanks, from a very tired mama.

Any mamas out there with pcos, successfully breastfeeding?

currently beginning to collect colostrum and was just wondering how many syringes people are collecting before baby arrives, i currently have 8 1ml syringes in the freezer but didn’t know how many was needed! 🙂‍↔️

I’ve been EBF my 9 month old and it’s been lovely, there’s been ups and downs but overall lovely experience. I’m going back to work in June and need to wean her off as I think it’ll be too hard carry on and she also wakes up 3/4 times at night suckles and falls asleep. Another issue is she feeds to sleep so I know i...

I have nipple trauma on my right side (caused by combination of bad latch and cluster feeding). It got to the point where I was crying with pain when feeding from that side. I am resting that side and only feeding from my left. I'm pumping/expressing from the right to keep my supply up but baby won't take the bottle...

Do you guys toss over leftover breastmilk after two hours if it hasn’t been used within that timeframe?

Hi ladies, are any of you still having irregular periods? I’ve never breastfed and I’ve had one period last about 3 weeks and then maybe a week later I’ll start another one, then I’ve had one be 10 days late😭 is this normal or should I be regular by now?

I exclusively breastfed for 9 months. Then introduced 1 formula and 1 bottle from my freezer per day for the last few weeks. We do the morning and evening breastfeed still. I obviously expected my supply to dry somewhat but now baby doesn’t seem satisfied especially during the evening feed. I wanted to give up at 11...

All of a sudden my baby only wants to feed from one side. Has anyone else had this problem? And how did u fix it?

Hi! I’m looking to hear your experiences from dropping from 4 to 3 pumps. Have you reduced duration first? Have you redistributed pumps to have more even gaps in between or just dropped one and left other 3 the same? Please share your experience. Thanks!

Who has pooped while breastfeeding?

My baby turns 1 next week. I'm wondering if I can stop breastfeeding in the day (offer cows milk in a sippy cup instead) and continue at nighttime? Will I still have milk? I wanted to stop gradually so I don't get engorged or uncomfortable. My baby has got two teeth and more are coming. I am very sore. She has mad...

Looking for most comfortable, I have a spectra 2 but it's not portable and struggling to use it enough for my second, with a toddler around. Thank you.

Anyone else mentally exhausted with breastfeeding? My LO is three weeks old and while he’s a good latcher, he’s a slow feeder (30+ mins) with a short wake window. This past week he’s been fussy with our sessions and it seems he doesn’t get a full feed and wakes up almost every hour after breastfeeding :( . I don’t t...

To those who are breastfeeding, how often do your babies feed? I feel like I’m feeding so often

Should I be worried?! My baby is 10 weeks old and I’ve still not got my period yet! I breastfed for one week when he was born and then pumped for one week, we then changed to formula since then! Before my pregnancy my periods were so regular and never late or ever missed one! When should I be worried about still n...

I haven’t been able to latch my baby due to my swollen nipples and now both of my breast are engorged and it’s so painful! I tried pumping but that makes my nipples more swollen! Helppp

Hello ladies! I am 15+3 weeks with our first baby! Hoping I will be able to give breastfeeding a go, but I am completely bamboozled by it all! Looking for advice on “breastfeeding must haves” to set me up with the right equipment/ handy bits and pieces, and any online support you’ve come across that’ll explain ev...
