Has anyone successfully got out of this human dummy stage? The last few days and nights my little boy has just been screaming and screaming until he’s on the boob, and then won’t feed he’ll just hold it in his mouth and suck every so often. He uses it to go to sleep but then when he falls asleep and doesn’t have it ...

Hi My baby boy is 5 1/2 months, so I’m going to start weaning him. This may sound like a silly question but do I still give him his milk as normal? I have bought Ella’s Kitchen pouches to begin with. He has 8oz every 4 / 5 hours. Do I give him his milk like normal and give him the pouches or do I miss a bottle ...

So I'm thinking about stopping breastfeeding because my little girl relies on the breast too much to be able to fall asleep. We contact nap and cosleep at the moment and she's never slept longer than 3hrs at night. It's making it really hard for me to get things done during the day or have any kind of evening becau...

Does anyone have any suggestions on whole milk brands that have worked for their little ones? Anyone having trouble getting them transitioned completely? My daughter will drink whole milk but not as a bottle replacement.

Any mamas taking the elderberry syrup/drops while breastfeeding?

Period back after 4 and half months exclusively breastfeeding. When did yours come back?

I have been breastfeeding my LO who is 11 weeks old tomorrow. It has been a painful journey (the cracked, bleeding nipples at first 😩). We combi fed for the first month with formula and breastfeeding. Then I moved to pumping and breastfeeding and for the past month we have been exclusively bf. Unfortunately my…

10 weeks pp & I’m 🤏🏾 close to quitting. My body just won’t make enough & idk what to do 🙁 She’s still hungry even after nursing 20-30 minutes so I’ve been giving her formula as well & I feel sooo guilty 😔 I’m barely getting 2 oz a session with my electric pump. I even bought one of those flange sizing tools just to…

I’ve been EBF my little girl now for nearly 9 months, she refuses any kind of bottle as I tried to pump for her previously, However today for the first time she bit me while feeding, I jumped and said no and pulled her off, just as a shock reaction, I think I made her jump,she had a little cry at me and has since ...

Anyone got any electric breast pump recommendations? I’ve heard a lot about the momcozy one but don’t want to spend loads on it if it isn’t the best?

I'm trying to be relatively healthy while breastfeeding, I'm in the UK, do people eat KFC on occasion when breastfeeding? I know it's super unhealthy but have been craving it

My LO is 7 weeks and we co sleep. I was just wondering do others switch sides to make sure baby feeds of both breast. For example if you’re on your left and feed from the left do you then switch to the lay on your right side and move baby? So you can feed from your right breast. My breasts are quite big and haven’t ...

I want milk, I want milk, I want milk… I said yes, I’m actively getting it for you. Please stop.

So I just learnt that when you are sick your body produces antibodies in your breast milk so the question is Can you drink your breastmilk? I’m not able to bring myself to drinking my milk 😂
