How long is everyone going between feeds when EBF? My daughter is 4 months and I’m still feeding every 2 hours and just wondering if I can start to stretch it out a bit? She will not take a bottle at all and I’m desperate to leave her with dad for longer 😅

I'm breastfeeding still, so this is a surprise, just wanted to know what the signs are and if it will be normal. My period before I got pregnant was on time each month and only lasted 4 days each cycle.

Is anyone using a manual pump to do this as I’ve tried a couple of times hand expressing and it seems to just dribble and not get a flow of any kind

I'm 5 days PP and I feel like I can't breastfeed anymore. It's been a struggle breastfeeding and honestly I don't know how much more I can take.

hi everyone. I was wondering if any of you were able to bring your milk supply back up after almost drying up? I was going through a rough patch and stopped pumping as often as I should and now I only pump 1-2 times a day. I mainly feed my baby formula but I’d really like to wean her off. I just want to know if it...

Hi everyone! I have a scheduled c-section in a few weeks and am wondering if anybody experienced a delay in their milk coming in and was still able to successfully breastfeed later?

We've been referred to the dietician but god knows how long that'll take.

I have an appointment with the dietitian next month to start the milk ladder. Everything is new for me so for those who have done it already, how long it takes (to say he outgrow the allergy)?
