Just wondering if anyone else feels the way I do about giveming up breastfeeding. I've ebf for 4 months but have recently been worried about his latch and wether he's getting the right nutrients he needs. It's stressing me out. Over the last 2 weeks I've been expressing to bottles so I know he'll take the bottle. ...
Can anyone recommend a breast pump? It feels like a minefield and with everything being so expensive, I don’t want to buy the wrong thing! Breastfeeding is going well but I’d love to express so my husband can help with the night feeds!
I stopped breastfeeding my 15m old. It’s been about 40hours and I’m quite engorged and my chest hurts. I want to dry up my milk supply I’m wearing a tight sports bra but I need advice on how long it will take to dry up and when will the pain settle?
Hi, I’m expressing due to my baby not wanting to attach so I want to give as much breast milk as I can, but these past couple of days I’ve been getting pains on my nipples. Does anyone else experience this or is it my pump that’s possibly causing it, any advise would be Amazing!
I'm not sure what's happening but a few days ago my left breast had blocked ducts and it was rock hard. Took 2 days before the blockage went away. Last night my right breast is experiencing the same thing. This all coincided when my baby wakes at night more frequently too - I'd say average every 2 hrs. She doesn't s...
Hi, my baby was occasionally given a bottle up to 2 months of age from de-frosted breast milk. We lost the bottle habit for a month as I was with him all the time so fed direct. Now at 3.5 months, he’s rejecting bottled milk - anyone know why? I tried a few drops to test it was warm enough before giving it to him an...
I am exclusively pumping and I do still want to give him breast milk after he’s 1. Does anyone else do this and if they do how much do you give them ?
Can anyone recommend maternity bras for 34H and above that aren’t hideous mono-boobed granny bras or cost £50+ per bra? 😅 I know I should be looking for comfort and practicality but I just feel so hideous in the ugliness of what is on offer at places such as M&S. I’ve seen such pretty and cute maternity bras in…
Silly question people - but are anyone's nipples constantly sticking out? Before BF it was only if it was cold but now they're stood to attention at all times and it's pretty uncomfortable (pretty sure bras are a little small too!!) Anyone else or just me?
Does anyone have any recommendations of good supportive nursing bras for bigger boobs? I’m a 38H and struggling to find anything supportive enough whilst trying to avoid underwire while I’m breastfeeding
My baby boy won't take to breastfeeding, and when I express either hand or pump, nothing comes out, and my nipples hurt a lot. If anyone has advice, I'm accepting it.
So I’ve been EBF my baby since day one and he’s now 5 months old. He was poorly last night and refusing to feed so I had to pump this morning and decided to give it to him in a straw cup to make sure he’d had a full feed. They drank the whole thing and I’m thrilled as I can now have a little freedom (he’s refused bo...
Does anyone know the process of getting a breast lift procedure, since stopping breastfeeding my boobs are soooo low and saggy and it literally is so uncomfortable when I’m putting my daughter to sleep and she’s laying on my chest and they’re literally being pulled down it sounds stupid but I’m sick of them and I wa...
Ok so I know my body changes my milk to babies need but I think I’ve given my illness to my baby I feel like I’m getting worse and baby is staying the same Baby is 4 months old Should I contact the doctors in the morning?
What size teets are your babies on? My LG is on size 2 but she has been off her milk recently & barely having anything to drink which I’m worried about! Should I change to size 3?
Hey mamas! So I’ve been using the spectra to pump which works great, but I want to also have a wearable pump to travel with. I’ve tried two different wearable pumps (Momcozy M9 and Zomee) that just don’t work as well. What pumps are similar to the spectra?!
My baby girl is 9.5 months, on 3 meals a day, and over the past couple of weeks dropped her mid-morning and mid-afternoon bottle going from 4 to 2 a day. She has 7oz first thing, which she finishes, but her bedtime bottle is hit and miss. Last night she only took a few oz. Her meals are well balanced and she doe...
My little girl is 5 weeks old and as expected we’ve had plenty of friends and family wanting to meet her. I love seeing the special people in my life meet our new baby, but I can’t shake this terrible anxiety that someone will pass something on to her through germs. People are great at washing their hands but you ne...
Can someone tell me what’s the difference with collecting colostrum while pregnant as to collecting it when you give birth??
