Breastfeeding, Birth, & Beyond

Hi, my almost 4 month old grabs my boob while breastfeeding. It’s very similar to cats kneading or making biscuits, but he’s really strong and it hurts. I have cuts on my boobs from his nails and how hard he holds on. I’ve tried to give him other things to hold (shirt, burp cloth etc) but did anyone else have this problem? What did you do to stop it?

Not pregnant. Just a serious question. I ask doctors but they make me more confused. I breastfed my son for 2 1/2 weeks but stopped cuz of my server PPD and with my daughter I planned on breastfeeding her as long as possible. I noticed when she was almost due that I wasn't leaking. When I had her she latched on perfectly but no milk was coming out. Formula fed her but still tried to pump but still nothing. For weeks I pumped but still nothing. My daughter was formula fed and my milk NEVER came in. I still feel like a failure to my daughter. Can anyone help ish please?

My son is three in October and absolutely desperate to stop breastfeeding by his birthday. I’ve loved every second but I’m ready to stop. He isn’t at all ready but I’ve started trying to explain it to him. Please advise on how I’m going to wean him off? He’s so obsessed with me

I'm trying to find a good wireless pump. Right now I'm using the normal plug in pump but I need to be on the move with my other kids. I keep finding myself starting and stopping while pumping because someone needs something.

I just had my son in December and everything was fine at first. I was doing good playing with my other kids and going places. This past month something just changed and I don't know how or how to get out of this funk. It's such a struggle now for me to want to get out of bed some days. I just feel like a dark cloud moved on top of me and I don't know how to get past it. I feel like a failure toy family. Yesterday I had an anxiety attack just stepping outside and it was horrifying for me and I tried my best to hide it from my family because I don't want them to worry. But today I couldn't even get out of my room. I stayed locked up all day and I feel so terrible. My other kids wanted to see me and my son but I didn't have the strength to come out. My husband tried his best to keep them occupied. He is trying his best with the kids and with me but I feel bad leaving everything on him. I stopped pumping and only breastfeed now so I can hide out. I just want to feel normal again.
