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? How many days did it take for your milk to come in after your c-section? Did you have to supplement with formula? Thank you in advance ...

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)?

Day 4 and my milk supply has came in how much ML milk is ok for baby ive done up to 1 oz/30 ml which isnt a lot?

I’m 7 weeks PP and still pumping 7 times per day. When did EP mummas drop pumps and not notice a drop in supply? Dreaming of dropping that MOTN pump xx

All of a sudden today my baby girl who is 4.5 months old is not drinking enough breast milk. She is exclusively breast fed. I tried alot but she is forcefully turning her head away from my breast. I am very tensed because she hasn’t had enough milk today. Please help me ladies

So I know the advice is not to introduce cows milk until 12 months but I have a dilemma. Baby only has milk morning and evening but evening milk is often straight after dinner at around 5:30. She starts nursery just before turning 1. I had planned to breastfeed until 1 as I did with my other two children then switch...

Trying transition breastfed baby onto breast milk in a bottle. Nothing is going very well. I’ve decided to stick with the mam bottles as that’s the one she seems to chew on. Have tried all different teat sizes but it doesn’t make much difference. Have tried sippy cups with no luck also. I just don’t want to breas...

I’m currently on day 3 breastfeeding. Had some initial latch problems which I’m still trying to overcome but it means my nipples are so sore! The feeding team in hospital have said it will get better which I understand and I’ve tried nipples balm and using my own milk but just wondered if anyone has any other tips...

At first I thought it was a breastfeeding strike because he was under the weather - but it’s persisting and he barely feeds anymore 😢 is anyone experiencing anything similar? Only interested in stories of where the baby (rather than the mother) is leading the weaning please 🙏🏼. I’m heartbroken as I wanted to…

Please could any mother using breast pumps recommend which one theyve found most useful.

A question for all the mums who pump. How long do you pump for? And how much are you pumping out each session? I’ve switched to pumping as I’m trying to transition to a bottle but In the morning I’ll pump around 4/5 oz each side Then pumping during the day I’ll get around 2/3 oz each pumping session. Im pumping...

If yes, please comment how much! My LG is cluster feeding all night long and just want to know if I'm alone or not in this!!

Does anyone have any tips on baby that will only feed from one breast? Tried different positions but not having any of it!

I’m a mom of 7 month old twins and I’m having a very very low breast milk supply is there anything I can do to increase my supply? Please let me know what ever worked for you guys.

My baby seems to get super frustrated when trying to breastfeed. I’ve always had issues getting him to latch so I pump and he gets formula to supplement.. but I’d like to exclusively breastfeed him if I could but he just seems to get so upset when I try.. I tried the breastfeeding shields and they didn’t work.. is t...

How are you going about indulging in alcohol but also giving your baby healthy breastmilk?

Any moms that 🍃 while breastfeeding? Did your supply drop or did it affect your baby in anyway?

Following guidelines of LAM (at least every 4 hours during the day, 6h during the night, exclusively breast feeding)

My current pregnancy is making my milk slowly dry up and I am so sad. My daughter turns one on Monday so I know we’ve done well making it to a year but I wanted to hang on to these moments a bit longer with her before the next baby comes 😔
