How long did it take for your milk to COMPLETELY dry up after stopping? Like nothing coming out. No tiny drops.

Now that we’re approaching 6 months, what is everyone planning to give or giving already to their babies?

Hi all I think it’s come to a time I might have to stop pumping breast milk. This breaks my heart by I just can’t keep up with my little one’s demand. They want to feed every hour at the moment and cry as soon as I put them down so pumping while holding is not working. How can I do this slowly? We have already cut o...

Anyone else still breastfeeding? I’m going on 17 months and my daughter still prefers breast milk to anything else. We are starting to wean and only nurse about 3-4 times per day now. I didn’t think much of it but lately people started to make comments at work about how I’m STILL pumping and I feel judged..

How’ve you found breastfeeding your toddler? My milk has reduced a lot, and my 1.5 yo will nurse in the morning and before bed. I don’t want it to dry up 😢

I haven recently dropped daytime nursing sessions apart from the very first one when my LG wakes up. She then nurses at nighttime. When at nursery she will accept at least a few oz of oat milk during the day (they’ve tried her with cows milk but she point blank refuses). At home she refuses to have cows milk or any...

Hey mamma’s I’m due in 3 weeks and decided that I’m going to pump to bottle feed. I’ve already purchased a hand pump and an electric double one. Is that enough or do you guys surjest getting another breast pump? Any advice would be appreciated xx

Hi!

Or will it not work out.

Hi , I just wanted a bit of advice. My little girl has just turned 11 months old and she has CMPA so is on SMA alfamino since 3 months old , however the older she’s got the less she wants it she absolutely hates it ! She also is allergic to oat milk. She’s teething so badly so last night I tried her with some soya m...

Right. I’ve recently had it done, they look great as you are all probably wondering. My boyfriend’s sister, thinks that this is not safe to do so while breast feeding. Now, I’m not denying there’s somethings online that say not to do it, but there is also a lot of things that say that it’s perfectly fine. So debat...

My baby was diagnosed with CMPA on Wednesday and since then he has been in dairy free formula and I have given up eating dairy as still breastfeeding. His skin this morning is worse than ever. Is that normal even though he isn’t consuming any milk?

Hi I’m expecting my 2nd but still nursing my first (17months) I’ve noticed my breastmilk is coming out very slow and also on one side it’s turned clear. Does anyone know what this is. I read online clear discharge could be a sign of breast cancer but I’m not sure because I’m breastfeeding and pregnant.

Does anyone know if breastfeeding has any correlation to getting your periods regularly post partum? I'm eight months pp and they're realky irregular, someone told me it's because I'm still nursing and will be okay once i stop

Trying to order a nursing bra but should I wait until after my milk comes in?? My boobs have almost like doubled in size during pregnancy but can they still grow even more once breast milk comes in or are they done growing ? Help 😭😭😭

I’m about 4 and a half months postpartum and just got my first period back which I wasn’t expecting! I always heard if you breastfeed you don’t get your period back and even though I knew it was possible this still just seems so soon! Anyone else? But anyway I seemed to drop my milk supply significantly, I used to p...

I had a very difficult birth. I planned for a homebirth, but two weeks before, I developed sciatica and hip pain that required crutches. When my waters broke, In labour experienced intense contractions within mins, but no dilation for four days—only excruciating hip pain. I ended up needing an emergency C-section. T...
