My boy is 4 weeks now. I am feeding every hour in the day. Is this normal? He’s gaining weight and goes longer at night luckily. 2/3 hrs Just wanted to know how often you all are feeding? Worried I have a low supply if hes feeding this often and for 30 mins average time. Thank you

I have reached 2 weeks post partum and I am already getting annoyed with breastfeeding/breast pumping and how frequent I have to do it. I am so happy that I can provide food for my son but my nipples are starting to hurt and my right boob feels like it is 10 pounds heavier than my left. (I have been alternating)

Does breast feeding take the sexual joy or pleasure away from being with your partner? Just tbh my breast are my spot and I’m just curious as to how this might effect my joy in it later..I only plan to breast feed for 6 months if that makes any difference in anything. Please let me know your experiences with this.

I left my LO tonight for the first time since birth to go for dinner with friends. I have left them for an hour here and there with my husband or family before. Tonight I left her for 3 hours. I got home to them being very upset - they had been for the whole duration and wouldn’t settle for my husband. He has blam...

Hi mamas ! I’m 11 days PP and baby has been breastfeeding well. I will want to introduce a bottle at some point and have dad help with some of the feeds as well. At what point did you start pumping and continued to breastfeed as well ?

I’m 6 weeks pp and exclusively breastfeeding. My right nipple is still really painful when he first latches. He’s had his tongue tie cut, we’ve seen feeding specialists etc but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Is anyone in the same boat? Did it get better for anyone? I’m not sure I’ll be able to continue b...

So I’ve got my first day out planned since I had baby. I am breastfeeding but baby has had formula sometimes too. I went out this afternoon for a couple of drinks and this was planned so expressed a couple of bottles. However my boobs are leaking and so sore because they’re full. I will be able to feed baby through ...

My baby only breastfeeds 5-6 times in 24 hours...She's 8 months 1 week old and has taken to solids really well. She's on 3 meals a day and eats well at most meals. Just worried she isn't having enough milk and obviously it's a minefield when you're breastfeeding because you don't know how much they're actually getting!

My little one just wants to breastfeed all day long and if I try to unlatch him he will just cry uncontrollably and nothing settles him down other than latching him on again. Is anyone else going through this and is this normal? He’s 20 days old and has only started being like this for the last few days. Feeling ext...

I just want to say not to let others opinions affect the way you parent! I was breastfeeding my first for two years in total and when it got to a year people told me on numerous occasions I need to stop and I felt like I was in the wrong for breastfeeding so I attempted the cry it out method and it broke my heart ...

Does/has anyone else felt quite emotional at the thought of giving their EBF baby a bottle? I'm going out in the evening this week and got a concert in a few weeks so won't be with my daughter for bed time and I'm feeling quite anxious and a bit emotional about the thought of her taking a bottle! I need to try her ...

How long are your babies’ breastfeeding sessions? My baby is eating for 5-8 minutes and I’m not sure what’s normal

Hey mamas, I’m 40 weeks- due date is tomorrow. I’m wondering how long did/do you pump for colostrum prior to baby’s birth, per session? I have tried my electric Medela freestyle a few times and also my hand pump. Did you learn how to set express already? So far I’m getting such little amounts and as you know it’s n...

Hi all. I was diagnosed with mastitis on Thursday. After some doses of the antibiotic my flu symptoms were gone but I now have a massive bulge in that breast that won’t go away. Ive done ice and heat, I’ve tried all my different pumps (electric, portable, hand and haaka), hot shower, hand expression. It’s so uncomfo...
