My son is now 2 months and my right boob has been really sore to the touch since yesterday had this happened to anyone else? Any advice on how to get it to stop?
Why does this happen? I thought breastfeeding meant no periods
Baby boy joined us last night around 1am. I hadn't got more than 2 hours sleep.over 48hrs because of the birth and now I'm home, my newborn won't let me put him down, he has had 4feeds back to back and I'm exhausted. Help!
So we are still breastfeeding at 15m old… mainly to help go down for a nap and she still wakes up 1/2 a night to breastfeed but only for a min or two for comfort I guess. My question is how did you all stop breastfeeding because she is obsessed with my boobs and she screams her head off until she gets the boob when ...
Hey all, my LG is EBF. She is almost 7 months. Any tips on getting her to take breastmilk from a bottle. TIA
I have a clogged milk duct and I’ve tried everything to get it out!! It hurts soooo bad and idk what more I can do 😭 I’ve massaged in a warm shower for 30 mins I did warm compress, I used a massager on it, I had my partner rub it .. and It’s still there.. I’ve taken pain meds and nothing had helped!!
I just feel sad right now… It feels like no matter what I do my supply just sucks. It use to be just enough and I made about 2-3 oz each pump early on (he’s 5 weeks) and sometimes even 4 oz overnight. Then for a couple days it did go to 4 oz but seems to have dropped back down to 2 oz, sometimes 3. The problem is h...
Does anyone else have incredible sore nipples? They are very dry and have a rash around the edge of the areola. The areola itself is no longer round it just looks so sore on the edges. They are very itchy! I EBF and pump twice a day. Wondering if it’s the pump, or something else that is causing it. I don’t find brea...
Please tell me there are ways to make breastfeeding less painful 😭 some positions/latches are definitely worse than others but omg cluster feeding is making me want to cry. Im trying to organise an appointment for help but that’s obviously not going to be immediate. I totally understand why people give up so quickly!
Hi Momma... I need some reassurance and encouragement that everything is alright. My little girl is on the 9th percentile... her birth weight was 2.606 kgs and last weigh in 21 days ago (at 6 weeks) she was 4.1kgs. I give her breast milk via bottle and 1 bottle of formula daily. I'm doing everything to try to in...
Hello, our baby girl was born on Sunday and I have been attempting to EBF, however I have 36GG breasts and they have always been saggy so struggling for positions and baby’s latch due to nipples effectively hidden at the bottom of my boobs 😢 Does anyone have any advice? The midwife’s at the hospital and the…
Hey all, does colostrum harvesting get easier and flow better the more you do it? Just started tonight and got barely anything
Okay so I'm going to try my best to ask this in a clear way because I'm sooooo curious. I haven't asked my pediatrician because I feel like it's still so far away. However, I've always watched kiddos and after one year parents would slowly introduce cows milk or a milk alternative. Then when reading It says childre...
Hey I was wondering if anyone has advice for sore nipples I’m only on day almost 3 if breastfeeding and still at hospital. Nipples are getting really sore. I use nipple cream but still- ouch ! Xx
Combining both breast, what’s the maximum amount of time you have spent breastfeeding? It’s ok to include in the same time span going to the bathroom, getting water, etc. although I’m more interested in the longest stretch.
I’m fascinated by the idea of having sushi and some wine at the hospital after giving birth to my baby in 3.5 months because that’s what I hear some women doing. But I don’t get how this happens, if they breastfeed… is there new research that’s says u can do this that im not privy to? Is it because the baby doesn’t ...
I am almost 4 months post partum and breastfeeding. I need and want to loose weight but I can’t seem to stop snacking. Breastfeeding makes me so hungry 😫 what can I do?
I am starting my weight loss journey. I want to lose 15-20 pounds before getting pregnant again. I'm giving myself around 8 months to complete this goal. I have been breastfeeding for 14 months and don't plan to wean for at least a few more months. I am 175 and only 5'3. I'm tired of not being proud of my body. I wa...
so my baby just turned 1 and i got the okay from doc to give him whole milk and such. BUT although i do want to ween him off the boob, i’m confused on how much milk i can give him in a day both whole milk and my own supply! maybe im wayyyy overthinking it (FTM 😂) i just don’t want to hurt him in anyway, and…
I’d like to go for some drinks in the New Year with some friends - just for the afternoon. But I’d like to have a good few drinks so wouldn’t be able to feed until the morning. What age were you able to do this with EBF babies? I was hoping to be able to pump and this be given in a straw cup maybe so he doesn’t miss...
