My second baby I breastfed for 6 months . I plan to try longer this time around . How long did you all breast feed?
Hi ladies! Does anyone have any tips, gems of advice or any weird and wonderful ideas to increase milk supply. I will pretty much try anything. I’m desperate to get baby back to the boob and I know I’m not getting enough milk at the min. Baby had her first 4 feeds from me but a split pubis, sepsis, strep and menin...
So babies due date is drawing ever closer and I really need to start thinking about a breast pump. It feels hard to buy such a thing in advance when you don't know how feeding/milk supply is going to be! I plan to attempt breast feeding from the start, and although expressing is not advised until around 6 weeks, I ...
Hey mamas, my little one has refused milk for 2 days. This is really unlike her. Please tell me it's just teething again???? P.s. she barely drinks any water :(
Those who formula feed, how do you stay connected to your baby? Breastfeeding is so special and personal and every time she feeds, although it’s difficult for me mentally, I feel connected with her if you get what I mean. And I’m finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that formula may be better for her and m...
A good breast pump but nothing too expensive just average one as don’t know how long I will breast feed for?
Can anyone advise or going through the same please? My almost 1 year old is waking every hour and screaming until we give her milk we are going through 3-4 8oz bottles a night! Please can anyone advise what we can do to stop this please? Xx
I’ve heard with some women they shrink back down to their pre-pregnancy weight with breast feeding, others I’ve heard it’s like once they stopped, poof the pregnancy weight is finally gone. What was your experience?
Just curious….i know technically it’s suppose to be every 2-3 hours but like that’s kinda unrealistic, right? Like when do you get other stuff done or like sleep? Or leave the house? I wish i could do more. My supply is suffering and sometimes I’m only getting 2 oz and will have to pump a whole second cycle of 20 m...
Hey guys, I’d like to buy a wearable hands free pump to increase my supply. Seems to be so many options out there and my baby brain just can’t work out what’s best. From your experiences what would you recommend?? I like the look of Elvie stride, Momcozy M9 and Medela Freestyle at the moment - but open to others! ...
Hey my baby is 5 months and we are exclusively breastfeeding/ pumping feeding and I noticed this past day that my milk supply is decreasing. Have you noticed this? How I can get my supply back? I’m drinking tea and sometimes power pumping
I'm so upset. One of my industrial holes grew over plus I'm breastfeeding so I won't even be able to get it repierced for another 6 months at least. It always feels like I'm coming in last with things I want to do to myself and its hard not to get upset, or be angry about it. My husband doesn't understand and says...
My 7 month old is suddenly refusing to take a bottle from my husband (or anyone besides me). She primarily nurses, except for when I’m away for a few hours a couple times a week & up until the past month she was fine taking bottles. Any advice is much appreciated. I’m unable to be away for more than 2 hours at this ...
My baby is 1 week old and is back to birth weight. She’s been nursing every 3 sometimes 4 hours and I’m nervous that’s too far apart? Everything I read says 2! She’s is happy and sleeping great.
Unfortunately my son is allergic to milk and tree nuts (almonds). We try substituting with oat milk and he absolutely hates it. We tried mixing it with breastmilk and he refuses. Besides that my major concern is he’s so handsy 😭 he HAS to touch my other boob while he eats or else he gets mad when I don’t let him.…
My daughter is 16 months old and I am trying to get her to stop drinking milk so much but she constantly says “milk milk MILK MILK MILK” and then cries when I don’t give her any. Do I just have to not give in & comfort her through her cries? It also doesn’t help that my mil insists that she has milk even though we’v...
Has anyone’s partner liked sucking on your boobs while producing milk? Like he asks all the time to suck on your boobs. Is that a breastfeeding fetish? What does it mean?
Hi all Is it possible to get baby to breastfeed again after having a 2 month gap (they're 3 months now). She is exclusively bottle fed with expressed milk. Reason I ask is because she has upped her intake in the last week (going from mainly 3 and sometimes 4 oz up to mainly 4 to 5 oz) and I can't keep up with pu...
I’m trying to book an appointment for breastfeeding support but curious if anyone can advise from their experience - 1. I know babies can cluster feed at other stages but will it slow down when my milk comes in? 2. Baby keeps falling asleep with my nipple in his mouth while feeding and just holds it and won’t let...
My baby will be 12 months old in November and I want to start weaning her onto Cows Milk. I have read lots of stories that scare me about this next step. Should I wait longer to start the process? Also where do I begin?
