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?
Hey guys my baby is 7months, I nurse and fed her through bottle. As of lately when I’m pumping I can barely get anything even though milk is there. I drink water and I eat like crazy but the milk won’t flow for me to pump it out. I use the medela handheld pump. Any tips??????????????
I plan to go away for a few days for my birthday but I breastfeed. How would I go about making sure that my milk will not go bad when it times to go back home? I will be flying
Does anyone find the measurements on storage bags are completely wrong? I’ve tried a few different ones and there’s no way of knowing what I’ve actually expressed. I’m measuring it out in a smaller bottle and then pouring into a storage bag. It’s an extra step but I want to know how much I’m expressing. I’ve tried d...
I’m almost 5 months postpartum and my period has come back. Has anyone else’s come back too? Or Has is not? I’m also exclusively BF.
Who is still breastfeeding? How long are you hoping to continue? I’m feeling a real pressure from others at the month to stop but I do t feel we are ready.
Hi, I'm having a bit of a nightmare. Even though they initially said it would be fine work have just declined my request for 4 mornings and are only willing to offer two full days. LO is intolerant to dairy so I can't give her formula or cows milk and I'm still breastfeeding her every 3 hours roughly. She has nev...

I started combi feeding my 3 week old formula and breastmilk as he wasn’t waking for food. I’ve been feeling really low with breastfeeding due to low supply and pain. I’d like to start pumping to ease the pain. Would it be okay to pump during the day while baby gets formula and breastfeed once in the morning, once ...
We have just moved and my 5mo is running out of aptamil pepti 1 and I tried signing up with the doctors today and it takes up to 10 days we’re almost out of her milk and her old doctors said we needed to get another tub from the new docs but we can’t as we’re waiting to be signed up. After days of faffing around goi...
I have inverted nipples and my colostrum just isn’t coming no matter how hard I try. I feel like a failure. Any tips 😢
This is my 2nd pregnancy and I’m trying to find the best pump that’s preferably wearable as I don’t think I’ll be able to sit down to pump with 2 under 2 😅 best wearable pumps you all have liked?
Did your premie nicu baby transition to exclusively breastfeeding? I know when babies stay in the nicu they’re given bottles and/or tube feedings. Moms can also nurse ofc but I’m wondering if your baby transitioned to the breast with no issues.
My baby feeds every hour to 2 hours, only time she goes over two hours is usually if she’s asleep. I’ve read somewhere that at 2 months they’ll be feeding every 3-4 hours. I’m worried maybe she’s not getting full / enough milk at each feed so is feeding more frequently? Anyone else’s babies feeding all the time?
