My 3 month old sucks so hard and already feels like he chomps sometimes without teeth, how do I start preparing for when he gets teeth so I can keep breastfeeding??

Bagged for storage purposes but how much colostrum a day is a good regular amount until baby is born? This is after doing it once today.

Currently 29 weeks and my breast size is still the same (small) and i haven’t started milk production. At what point does milk production start and should i be worried if my breast still haven’t increased. Consultations made have said it’s fine but i am really worried and concerned

So my baby started solids a little over a month ago and now he would barely have breast milk. He even has lower wet diapers. Every time breastfeeding is a battle. Same with expressed milk through the bottle. I don’t know what to do. Advice please.

Help! I’m a 32J (I know 🙄😫) and my underwire bras are really starting to hurt now.. anyone have any recommendations for comfy bras for a fuller bust? I need a lot of support as they’re so heavy so don’t mind spending a bit more. TIA

I got a nursing top from Kindred Bravely, it’s super cute and is made of like stretchy exercise / yoga material. Since having my one month old, I have only worn super loose clothing around the house, I bought this too hoping to wear something more like I would have before having my baby when I go out and about.

I’m going out of my mind, I can’t seem to get baby boy to get a good latch, I’ve tried so many positions and techniques and we get no where fast, just a whole deal of stress for the both of us! He’s also got really bad reflux! Is anyone else really struggling? I’m feeling hopeless with it and feeling so alone. And ...

My baby is getting breast milk but from a bottle she doesn’t seem full after taking 60ml she takes 60ml every 3 hours but is fussy i don’t want to over feed her how should i be giving her more milk

My baby is now 7 days postnatal. We have been breastfeeding with a nipple shield. He cluster feeds at night and less during the day. I've struggled to consistently pump in between feeds because I'll end up eating, washing myself, trying to sleep etc. He was weighed today at 7 days and had lost 7.3% and was 6.1% 2 d...

My son is 2 weeks and 6 days old today and is exclusively breastfed right now. For the last few days he’s been cluster feeding again, but he’s also using me as a bit of a dummy, and as soon as he’s off the boob, he’ll wake up crying again. I’ve thought about pumping as well as breastfeeding to hopefully help the sit...

For breastfeeding & pumping mums, has anyone done the 16/8hr intermittent fasting? Is it ok to do it or do like the 14/10hr one? Please let me know if you have tried it Thank you

First off I want to commend you mamas that are killing it out there. I truly respect all of you. But with that being said I’m only 1 month into this as an EP first time mom and I’m finding it harder and harder each day. From the very beginning my babygirl wouldn’t latch, and this was something that never even crosse...

How do you guys get rid of clogged milk duct? I exclusively pump and since Sunday My right breast has been killing me. I tried pumping more often, warm towel and massage and it’s not working. I asked my husband to suck it out, he said he can’t do it wi h is understandable. What should I do?
