How are we weening? Or how many bottles a day is your baby doing? Then throwing in transitioning to cows milk I’m like ?!? What worked for y’all. 😅

My breasts never feel full anymore. My baby is 3 months and they used to feel full sometimes and I could express lots as well as bf but now I can only express 1oz and my breasts are always soft. Is this the end of my bf journey?

Do your breastfed babies tell you when they want a feed sometimes? I find it so funny when my little one looks for the boob in my bra haha

When is the best time to stop breastfeeding? When did you guys stop or when do you think the best time to completely stop is. I wanted to keep going till he was 2 years old but breastfeeding has honestly taken over my life a lot and I’m very just ugh about doing it that far but if it will benefit him I will…

Any recommendations for good breastfeeding bras that actually offer a bit of support and lift? Breastfeeding my second and it’s safe to say the girls aren’t as perky as they used to be😂

Is it best to avoid breastfeeding if I've got a stomach bug?

Yesterday morning was the last time i breastfed my baby 😭 She didnt show any interest for almost a month and my supply has completely run dry now.. barely anything comes out. She had 2 sips and got angry and didnt want to come on after that. I feel so sad i didnt make it to a year.. 😭😔

My baby is still having a morning and bedtime bottle (and sometimes one in the afternoon) we have transitioned to pure cows milk and now I’m worrying about giving her too much. Is anyone else’s little one still having bottles ?!

Hi everyone! I'm super excited for my second baby but breastfeeding in the first trimester has been awful! I have a two year old that still nurses at night and it's been so painful. Part of me is glad because I was worried I'd lost all sensitivity in my nipples, but I mostly just want to sleep like I used to while m...

Hi, I have a 10 month old baby who has a milk allergy so she is on SMA Alfamino. She has been on this milk since about 4 months old and she got on with it really well. she currently has 3 bottles 1 morning 1 afternoon and a bedtime bottle, however the last few days she has had zero interest in the milk (she has alwa...

What do mom's do with their extra breast milk???, I have already filled my freezer and it seems a shame to have to dump any with the effort it takes to constantly pump, but im producing around 16oz more than I need a day for my little one.

Has anybody had baby refuse breast and just scream but will take bottle of expressed milk straight away. Never had issue before she always took everything and any temperature etc formula and breast. Now she won't even try just screams when she sees nipple

I’m planning on breast feeding once this baby arrives, but I’m worried about milk supply, does anyone have any tips for increasing your supply? Iv seen people make lactation cookies 😂 but they just sound like homemade oat biscuits to be honest, and Iv seen different teas you can drink

Hiya I’m 33 weeks pregnant and both my breast leak a lot of colostrum I’m waking up to puddles in my bed from both breast, would it be okay to start collecting this as it feels like it’s just going to waste, I have stuff to collect the colostrum. FTM here

Anyone else breastfeeding have most of their milk on one side (right) I do feed on both

Hey there's a bump on one of my nipples. It might be a spot or a blister maybe? Anyone had anything similar? I'm pretty sure my flanges fit well as I got some help when we first started and I'm now 6 months in. I've turned the suction down to the lowest setting, but continuing to pump so I don't lose supply! Any ...

We have been trying to give our boy a bottle of expressed milk a day and he has generally been taking it fine but he has not wanted to the last few days. We are using tommee tippee ones. Any other suggestions of ones that are working for you?

It literally seems impossible lol My son is 15 months and is still attached to the boob. He never took a bottle or a paci and he hates any other milk. He does drink from a straw cup juice/water. He eats all the time but still wants the boob all the time too 😂 I thought he would self ween but it doesn’t seem to be…

That’s it, that’s the post 😂 My son is 15 months and it doesn’t seem like he is ever going to self ween 😩 he hates any other milk I try to give him, never used a bottle or a paci, he does drink out of a straw cup. Send tips.

I don't feel like i have enough time in the day to do everything. Pumping takes me 40 minutes. My son doesn't like being put down. He is 2 months old. He can't latch properly on me - nurses said its because my nipples are too small. Nipple shields just fall off and he gags on them. How do other mums do it? please gi...
