Breastfeeding

I hate to put the word fail but I’m 38 plus 6 and I have my c section on Tuesday. I started a few weeks ago and got nothing then and gave up. Then started again yesterday. Yesterday and again today I only managed around 1ml if that. Any suggestions how to increase it? I’ve been putting hot water bottle on my boobs...

I just wondered if anyone is still breastfeeding and how many feeds a day they are doing? I’m exclusively feeding my little girl except for occasionally she has one bottle of breastmilk a day when I’m at work and haven’t been able to get home for a feed. My stash for this is nearly gone though so I’m trying to work ...

Hey everyone I’m 2 days PP and struggling a bit. Baby has been latching to my breast during the day but as soon as he is severely hungry or getting to night time (tonight and last night) he isn’t latching properly and not sure if I’m doing something wrong. He also hasn’t had a wet nappy today - stool or pee. The m...

Hi mums in need of some advice, I’ve been really stressed with home events moving etc and I’ve struggled with my milk she’s been having more formula than breast milk I stopped pumping due to being extremely tired and struggling to get in the frame of mind to pump I’ve let myself go a little 🥺 I’m wondering if there…

For my fellow breastmilk mummas. Breastmilk is great for many many things. So here's a little hack. I popped a small amount in a spray bottle and use it for LO skin, mainly her head as its cleared up her cradle cap and kept it at bay. But heard its great for nappy rash and dry skin etc. I also made breastmilk soap...

I had really sore nipples so my midwife recommended the silver nipple shields and oh wow have they worked a treat! The only issue is I am getting milk leaking all over the place with them. I've been putting a pad over the top of the shield to try and catch anything but it doesn't seem to be working... does anyone ha...

So my son is still little( 4M)and i feel like my supply is good and will probably stay that way. ( god willing) I think about the future and if i can still produce milk I want to breastfeed my son until hes 3 years old at least. My boyfriend tells me its weird and hes not a baby anymore at that point so he shouldn’t...

So I haven't really leaked colostrum at all, but I do notice that sometimes my nipples look either a tiny bit wet or crusty. So I just tried hand expressing for the first time. My left nipple got a little wet but it didn't produce enough to collect anything. And my right nipple seemed completely unfazed by me trying...

My 3 month only nurses after naps and at night, and the sessions are getting shorter every few weeks. She is 13 weeks old and only nurses for 5-10 minutes and on one breast, and seems content to not eat for another 1,5-3 hours. Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this? Also she mostly only wants to nurse in ...

My baby is showing hunger cues like sucking fists and searching with her mouth. When I try put her to the breast she pulls away and refuses to latch and gets really upset. She’s been awake for hours really unsettled.

Does anyone else have this burning sensation inside the breast and nipples?? I feel it so often especially when they are filling with milk and it hurts any tips on how to soothe this discomfort?

Hi my 7 month old will cry for a bottle I’ll start feeding. He drinks like 3 or 4 oz (his normal is like 8oz) and then He stops drinking gets distracted and tries squirming out of my arms, kicking off of me or just trying to do anything else but drink milk. He’ll usually fuss a few minutes later and then I can try a...

I was just drinking. It's been about 40 mins since my last shot. I probably had about 6 shots. Am I able to still breastfeed? I don't have a pump to pump. Will it affect my baby if I breast feed in about 3hrs?
