Breastfeeding

Anyone else feel heartbreak when they stopped breastfeeding? I had a hard time starting breastfeeding but slowly fell in love with it. My little one would just stare into my eyes whilst he fed and it was the most beautiful experience of my life. I’m back at work and have been slowly tapering down bf. Although I know...

Hi I'm first time mum, currently 28 weeks pregnant. I'm hoping to breast feed and pump (I understand this is hard but want to give it a try). I am currently a 36H and will no doubt grow when baby gets closer to arriving. Can anyone recommend a good hands free pump for the bigger breasted ladies?

Please tell me someone else's baby also woke up deciding he can't latch one morning...? I'm hoping he was just over tired but I tried for hours and he just wouldn't latch today. He's been doing well with breast and then the odd expressed bottle but last night my partner did the expressed bottle feed while I went to ...

Hi ladies, my baby girl is coming in 2 weeks at 36 weeks gestation. She is a very tiny estimated weight at birth of 4lbs/5lbs and will most likely be in NICU. I know you’re not meant to collect colostrum until week 37 but could I start at week 36, possibly a few days before she’s due? I’m having a c section and I wa...

I’m 3 months pp and I still have my milk. Is this normal?

My babies are 3 months old and I've been pumping since the day that they were born, I noticed that lately my breast milk has been turning Yellow. I know that in the beginning of your breastfeeding journey. Your milk is Yellow, but it hasn't been that way since the first 2 weeks of their birth, has this happened to a...

Hi! FTM and I’m wondering the difference or transition of colostrum to milk. I have been producing since week 16/17 and it has gotten whiter over time. I am now 36 weeks and 4 days and I’m wondering if colostrum is the same color as milk or if milk specifically can not come in early. It used to be clear and now it’s...

Hi everyone! My midwife has advised me to start collecting colostrum as of a few days ago and I’m unsure as to how much I should be collecting! I saw everyone saying one or two syringes a time. On my first day I collected 5 syringes and day 4 I collected 12 syringes! Is there any reason I’m able to get so much?

I’m in a dilemma on which route to go down to feeling my baby when she is born. With my first son I breast fed him for the first 2 weeks of his life before I started to dry up in one breast so I had no choice but to rush out to grab bottles and put him on formula milk. With my little girl I would love to breast fee...

My little one is 9 days old and I'm worried I've got mastitis already. My breast is very red on one side and quite painful, I thought it was just engorged but my baby has fed this morning and it's not relieved any of the pain at all. Any tips and when should I get medical help for it? The info online is very mixed!

My baby is 3 weeks+2 and I keep seeing posts of milk supply.., Literally feel like I don’t have time or energy to pump along side breastfeeding 😭 does anyone just breastfeed not express milk

My baby doesn’t seem to get full and we go through hours of feeding. From looking at others experiences people are at least getting an hour between feeds. Baby will fall asleep at the breast but when I transfer him to the cot he wakes up instantly giving extreme hunger cues. At the same time I can see milk going int...

Baby is only 4 days old however since last night she won't latch. I tried every tip and position I know. My boobs are rock solid and nothing is coming out when I'm trying to pump or hand express. It's becoming unbearable please help 😭 (she is being fed don't panic, I had a backstock of colostrum!!)

I just woke up with this stain over my nipple area. Do you think it’s my milk coming in ? I am 35 weeks now.

Hi. My little girl had her first tooth pop out yesterday. She has teething pains really bad and she stopped breastfeeding. Can someone please tell me how to relieve pains and get her back on breast? I've been pumping milk throughout the night and she has it from the bottle. This is really difficult 😞
