LO has been feeding constantly since last night… she has been awake for basically 4 hours straight today just feeding and sleeping for about 5 minutes then waking up just to feed again. This ended in a big vomit and since then she’s been waking up every hour to feed again for 20 minutes. Am I doing something wrong...
This may be a really stupid question but I just have no idea!! If I’ve kept breast milk in the fridge, for example for a day or two, not used it and don’t plan to, can I then freeze it?
Really struggling with the cluster feeds at the moment… my little boy is 2 weeks and I know for a fact that breastfeeding babies just eat a lot more but I’m really starting to struggle with the demands of it and the soreness it’s creating.

Anyone has any recommendations for breast pumps that don’t empty your wallet but are effective? I’ve got a manual breast pump from tommee tippee and I just feel like it’s working very well, it doesn’t empty my milk out and I get plenty more hand expressing.
Hi ladies, Looking for a good hands free double breast pump. Any suggestions?
Midwife gave me my syringes to start collecting colostrum, been trying a mixture of hand expressing and using a manual pump and nothing… bit deflating.

I read from an online resource (I realize now could be unreliable) I could have one glass of wine whether I’m BF’ing or pumping and baby would be fine since the alcohol is so diluted and very unlikely anything passes through. That said, I’ve had a glass of...

How much milk are your toddlers drinking now? Are they still having morning and evening? Has anyone stopped the morning milk and find they are better with food through the day?
So I’m mainly pumping and formula at night and I’d love to breastfeed but I’ve got inverted nipples and I use the shields but either they’re too big or my 4 week old gets frustrated it doesn’t come out like a bottle. Anyone else struggle with the same thing or have advice?
So I have an almost 10 month old that I breastfeed/pump for. My supply has been horrible the past few weeks and it's only getting worse. He keeps looking between his legs multiple times a day. My period is due in 3 days but I have no signs or symptoms that it's going to come. Has anyone's baby done this and you were...
