My thought process is ... surely I can pump my breastmilk in to bottles, kee...

Probably a silly question…for those of you who have started collecting some colostrum, I have done lots of homework into how to collect it and I was given those little purple syringe things from my midwife, but what do I collect it in? I know that sounds silly but does it just go into the syringe? Like drip in or do...

I gave birth via c section over a week ago. My section was difficult and I was having difficulty breathing and very bad trembling afterwards so I had to formula feed my baby. I couldn't even do skin to skin. Now I want to breast feed but I don't seem to produce enough milk! I try to pump and can't get more than 20-...

My LG has maintained 75th percentile since birth but has now dropped to 50th - she is feeding less and very distracted on the boob - should I be concerned ?

Does anyone else’s baby fuss with feeds only at certain times of the day? My bottle fed baby is awful to feed between 4-8. She crying kicking her legs squirming. The dr is trying us on formula for cmpa bit I’m starting to wonder if she just has a fussy feeding time. Xx

What's everyone doing for breast feeding schedules.?? Are we waking babies or just feeding on demand?

My baby girl is 10 weeks old and I'm noticing that she falls asleep right after taking milk from one breast. In the past she used to feed from both. What does this mean? Does it mean she is needing lesser? Should I wake her up to take from both??

I have a 3 month old. I've noticed my nipples are smaller than they used to be. Is this normal? Im wondering if there's a correlation with low supply.

Has anyone done this? Please share 🙏🏻 Is it an absolute no no?
