I need to stop breastfeeding my two year old. He uses it to go to fall asleep. Without boob, he will stay up all night. I’ve tried putting things in my nipple and he doesn’t care, he will still nurse.

Have anyone else’s babies recently decreased on their intake of milk? My LO is taking 2-4 oz every 3-4 and was recently on 6-7 oz every 3-4. Not sure if it’s her teeth that’s causing it 😢

I’m really struggling to get my newborn to feed, he’s definitely not eating enough and it’s causing me so much stress - he can sleep for hours on end! Any tips/reassurance? I’d love to just breastfeed but wondering if it’s better to add some bottle feeding in at least too?

My little boy will turn 1 in just over 2 weeks, and I'm running out of formula. Would it be horrendous for me to start weaning him to cows milk now? I'm very much of the mindset that babies don't just magically change overnight when they turn 12 months, so I'm curious as to what the harm may be if I start weaning ...

Looking for recommendations for a decent bra that's comfortable (no underwire) but also looks nice.

Is a used Elvie pump safe to use? Or should I pass on it. (Free) Someone gifted it to me. If it’s safe to use what about the parts? Can I just sterilize them or do I have to replace them? The breast shields and all the little blue pieces?

Anyone know how I can produce more breast milk seems like my supply is a lot lower than what it was

We currently call it milkies but I feel like that's a bit too advanced. My baby is 8 months old and can say Mama with meaning. I was thinking if I could teach her to ask for milk before she starts nursery that it would be really helpful. What do other people use? Meemee? Something similar?

Has anyone had experience with moving from just breastfeeding to bottle feeding with breast milk early on? I have a 2 week old and the pain with breastfeeding is unbearable with nipple pain and not being able to let my nipples heal properly…

How to stop so hard she just cry’s

Can I take anything for allergies while breastfeeding? I don’t want to harm baby or impact milk supply but my allergies are so bad.

I’m 80% breast feeding/pumping and I’m not loosing any weight! Is anyone else in the same boat? I feel terrible and not like myself. Nothing fits.

I’ve just had a breakdown twice today over breastfeeding and my lack of supply. My girl is 11 weeks and at the beginning supplemented worth formula until my milk came in. From weeks 3 till 11 I’ve been breastfeeding with one formula bottle only given. But all of a sudden, my mike gone to shit and she’s so hungry I ...

Mamas question? So my 3 weeks old LO isn’t very good at latching. She only latches good on my left breast. But every time I put her on my right breast she seem not to be able to latch I’ve tried all the positions nothing seem to work? When she is on my right breast it’s a pinch which hurts & and it’ll start to bleed...

Hello everyone! I’m going back to work tomorrow and will be pumping as baby is not drinking any dairy (potential dairy allergy). I have a Pipetta Handsfree pump & a single avent pump. But I’m looking to get a Spectra (not sure what version) to leave in the office. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pum...

Soreness and sensitivity, would germolene cream be helpful?

I EBF my 4 and a half month old but want to start pumping so I can share feeding with my partner. I’d also like to be able to leave him at home with his dad so I can go out on my own. However I don’t really feel like I understand pumping to build a stash or have extra milk to hand. I’ve tried pumping after feeds but...

Question for those who are breastfeeding. My baby is 4 weeks old today & I have been exclusively breastfeeding without pumping. I was just wondering if this is normal or do most people pump as well? Basically I was never able to harvest colostrum, either before or after birth, & once my milk came in I tried to pump...

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my little guy for 10 months and in the last week my breasts have changed and just feel saggy and small. I feel my milk supply has dropped with it but it’s still there so I know there is hope! Has this happened to anyone before and they’ve brought it back? Any tips on how to do so?...
