Is there a way other than latching and power pumping which I'm already doing what can I do to make my milk come in for longer? Based on baby's swallow sounds, milk only flows for two minutes, then is a trickle, and she's still hungry. If I don't pump the other boob while she's feeding the milk goes away so I can't...

in the day. I don't get it because she goes down at night in her next to me and sleeps 11+ hours (I do put her down asleep). If she does nap Inthe day it is only ever less than 30 mins but will contact nap for 2.5 hours! 🙈 I want to start getting things done in the day and would love to be able to put her down!

I’m not sure what they do at my daughters preschool but I’m tired of her coming home with stained clothes. The worst thing is, even after wash it doesn’t come off. Hasn’t even been two mnths since she started pre school and majority of her uniforms are stained. They’ve also misplaced one of her t shirts. Does anyo...

New to pumping and only made half an ounce today! I would like to freeze this in a bag and then if I make another ounce tomorrow freeze that in a separate bag. Then when I need to use it, thaw bags separately and mix in one bottle for a full feeding? Sorry I’m being so tedious ! Anxious mum here!

Anyone’s baby out of no where started cluster feeding? My son is on his 7th bottle today and having 4-5 oz each time 😳 5 and a half weeks old!

Anyone Else had this. My little girl has been on cows milk from start of September just before she turned one on advice from health visitor when she had her 10 month check. Ever since then she’s struggling with constipation to the point she’s inconsolable crying and she’s making herself bleed. It’s been 6/7 weeks...

My son was born May 21st and we started off breastfeeding, but it didn’t work out so well and he had allergies. I ended up saving some of my milk and used it yesterday in combination with his formula. He had no reactions whatsoever and did perfectly fine. I know it’s gonna be more challenging now that he’s 5 months....

I just found out my daughter doesn't like Unholy by Sam Smith 😂 when it starts, she shakes her head no and if it isn't shut off she cries lol.

I use the Milton cold water steriliser and obviously sterilise the flask after each use however I just wash the lid in hot soapy water and then wipe down with Milton spray as obviously I don’t want to damage the sensor on the lid. I notice when reading the booklet it says you can sterilise the lid using a UV steri...

How do we use the healthy start cards when paying in supermarket? Do you put the items as a separate shop or can you do it all in one go?

Hi all, My baby is 3 months old today and she’s not pooped in 2 days, is this normal? I EBF. She usually goes everyday so just wondering if she’s potentially constipated and what is best to help her?

Is anyone else really struggling with feeding time? My LO is 19 weeks and every single time I feed him, it’s an absolute battle. I’ve tried going up a teat size, different bottles, changing environments etc but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. He’s at that stage where he’s extremely nosey, but I j...

Does anyone else’s babies play with their dummy? Its so frustrating because she keeps pulling it out & then cries cos she can’t get it back in again 🙈

Anyone have any tips/ tricks to get 6mo to take a bottle? She took one a few times in the early days when my boobs needed a break 😅 then again she was content at about 3 months when I went on a night out, but now she just isn’t interested 😫. Looking to do some KIT days back at work but it’s frustrating as I can’t…

Two nights ago my partner decided he will be sleeping in the guest bedroom because he’s not sleeping well with the baby (10 months old) waking up due to teething pain. Her cot is in our bedroom even though she has her own room. My partner and I are intimate about once a month, maybe twice sometimes. Now we don’t eve...

Hi all I feel like I’ve tried every trick/tip there is to extend my babies day time naps, it works for one nap or a day then the next it stops working. She is 5.5 months old and her evening sleep is pretty good so I’m not going to complain about it, I’m just putting her down as a cat napper. My question is - do n...

Hey everyone! My little one is still breastfeeding 4/5 times per day and my cycle has still not returned 9mo pp. Is anyone else also experiencing this? Starting to think about baby #2, but not ready to wean quite yet. Thanks:)
