Anyone still breastfeeding and gets the occasional itchy nipple?? No signs of thrush or rash but omg sometimes they really itch!

My EBF 4 week old will only settle on the boob. Is this normal?

My LO is 4 weeks old. He has terrible gas/trapped wind. We've been working through it, keeping him upright and burping him. I know he is approaching the time when it's at peak and I know it gets better but last night was the worst yet and nothing we were doing was relieving it. He is becoming very fussy when feeding...

Feel like 10 mins is too quick

I'm an oversupplier but I wondered how much do people pump in a session and how long does it take you to pump that?

I have a big stash of frozen breastmilk in the freezer does anyone know if I can use this in any way for weaning? If so, how do I prepare it? Thank you in advance.🫶

Hey mamas I’m newly postpartum and am looking for any advice you can give as a new mama. I have been doing breastfeeding/ nursing during the day and formula at night. He’s got a good latch but at night im just too exhausted so I have the husband helping out! Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated…

I can't believe I'm up right now, my toddler has turned into a newborn and wanting to BF several times at night to the point she's climbing on me pulling me and just on it. My shoulder pain is back too. Please can I have some tips on how to wean her off. I didn't want to go cold turkey but I don't think I can handl...

Hi! I’m 11 weeks pp. EBF on demand. Baby eats every 1.5 hours roughly (max stretch 3 hrs over night) she typically only nurses one side per feed. Can I start pumping the opposite side during feeds? I’d like to avoid pumping overnight, is this possible?? Will introducing pumping cause any issues for me?

Has anyone else still not got period? I had my baby on 5th September & stopped breast feeding 6 weeks ago. I’m not complaining but am still slightly concerned

While my MIL really tries her best to make me feel comfortable. I don’t know, I just can’t be free with her. The moment we start talking more often she will say things that just hurt my feelings. I mean I am lucky in many ways and I feel like I shouldn’t be complaining. But please don’t take it in the wrong way. I...

Seriously breastfeeding has always hurt! My kid has an insanely strong latch, one LC has said he sucks like he has a tongue tie but he has no tongue tie at all. I’ve seen 4 LC’s so far. Right now my right nip hurts so bad when I nurse cross cradle, left not as bad. Any suggestions?! I’ll be going to see a differ...

My baby is almost 5 months old and only nurses for the first let down. I let her nurse from one breast, burp her, then offer the other breast. She’s always alert, active, barely ever cries, and seems satisfied with her feeds so I thought this was okay, however she’s dropped pretty decently below her growth curve at ...

My plan was to solely breastfeed my baby but he was born on the bigger side (8lb 8oz) and every time I breastfeed he still wants more. Because of this, the hospital has given me formula milk to top him up, so I breastfeed first then formula milk. Has anyone else had to do this.

I just found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant. I have a 13month who’s still breastfeeding and was hoping to breastfeed till he turns 2. How long did you breastfeed while pregnan??

My Daughter will be 1 years old this December and I’m try to wing her off of my breast. I might be doing something wrong because as of lately since I started winging her it’s like the only thing she wants what should I do? ( suggestions are appreciated)

Do you guys give milk before or after breakfast? LO is 7 months next week. Same question for lunch aswell 🤔

Hi mamas! I’ve been trying to look for a breast pump for a month now and I really cannot get a conclusion or stick to one! What’re your recommendations? What do you guys have or what do you guys definitely do not recommend? ☺️ I would love a wearable one but I’ve heard the suction is not as good as the normal ones?

I’m a first time mom so I don’t know that much about child rearing and my son who is 3 months next week is very attached especially when going to sleep, even though he’s had some formula / breastmilk he still wants to suckle on my nipple while falling asleep , he always wants me to cuddle him while he falls asleep ....
