Weird spots in breastmilk?

I just pumped milk and this was inside the pump only on one side?? I’ve never seen anything like it & can’t find anything online about it either… Has anyone else had this or know what it could be? Looks like chocolate powder or instant coffee grounds LOL 💀😅

Help! Unwell baby only sleeps on my chest but wakes up when I put him down

My 11 months old had a fever last night reading 39.7 at 5am. Since then he did not sleep all morning and was cranky. He didn't have his naps only 20mins nap while he was sleeping on me. Soon as I put him down he wakes up crying. I saw my GP today to check if he has any infections. She said his ears are slightly red ...

Moving baby to own room?

My boy is 4.5 months old and nearly outgrown his next to me, which I think is affecting his sleep (he wakes multiple times in the night). My partner thinks we should move him to the big cot in the nursery but I’m nervous as I always anticipated he would move at 6 months old. He can’t roll either way yet, and I fin...

Moving Baby into nursery

So anxious to go to bed every night.

My LO is not good with night sleep and he always wakes up crying. Since he was born, I haven’t had proper sleep and it has been already 16months old. Lately, he sleeps even worse and I’m so anxious when he moves around in bed (watching him in the camera) or worrying when he will wake up. I’m emotionally and physica...

Help! Toddler started banging his head on things

Recently if I’m in the kitchen cooking or doing something where I can pick him up right away, he will bang his head back onto the cabinets or oven handle. I put my hand back to stop him and usually pick him up right away. I’m trying to stop him from doing it and not pick him up immediately so he doesn’t think he nee...

Increase supply

I currently produce just enough milk to feed my 5 month old and don’t get anything when pumping even if he’s missed a feed and had a bottle. Has anyone else been in this situation and been able to increase the amount they can pump?
