Hey mums! So I have a medela maximum swing which I absolutely love but I want a wearable as well for when I want to be moving around or feeding on one side... I've narrowed it down I think to two! The momcosy m5 and the night owl.... any help on which one is the bees knees??? I'd love an momcosy m600 - By reynie93
Anyone else dealt with this before? What turned out to be the culprit? My little guy is dealing with such bad gassiness/wind, abdo distension, mucousy poops! He’s also got a silent reflux picture happening… anyone else’s bub like this? I don’t know how to help him 🥲 We do lots of burps, tummy time7

I was gifted a free “The Night Owl” hands free breast pump but it just vibrates on my nipple and doesn’t seem to stimulate my breast enough to make my milk letdown. Is this normal that it just vibrates30
- By CourtandbabyCcCan I please have some baby carrier recommendations that won’t break the bank! Looking for one suitable to use for my 2 week old!

Hi I’m thinking that I need to change over Bubs formula. He is just increasingly getting more fussy, doesn’t want to be put down at all anywhere and I’m getting to the point where I can barely get myself something to eat or sleep. I can tell he’s having discomfort, I do paced feeding and lots of bre90 - By LN24lFTM and just wanted to check in. I’m still in the first 2 weeks post a somewhat traumatic birth that ended in an emergency c section. I didn’t get the day 3 blues but from about day 5 on I’ve found myself getting quite anxious and overwhelmed, normally towards the end of the day, and needing to have30
- By YaniyHey all, would appreciate any advice or thoughts on how my bubs is breastfeeding - ftm and analysing everything he does, wondering if it's normal or not!!

- By tilsszztI’m 1.5 weeks post partum and pads are starting to get really uncomfortable! They are rubbing against my bits. I usually wear tampons but can’t for obvious reasons…anyone wearing period undies? Will they control the lochia odour? Any other alternatives or brands that might be more comfortable?60
- By ThatgirltAnyone ever had chest x ray in pregnancy. Please share your experience. Are there any side effects or health risk for bub because of radiation.

- By Estella20eHi there! I am so worried, I fear I might have a prolapse and it has sent me in a downwards spiral. I had baby just under two weeks ago, I had a second degree tear and I constantly feel like a bubble inside my vagina almost like a pulling - not painful or anything. Has anyone else experienced this90
- By Lauren89lCan anyone else relate? I’m 2 weeks postpartum and can’t quite believe how much I’m sweating through the night, waking up completely drenched. Is this normal? How long will it last? Thanks80

What are the breastfeeding/pumping mums snacking on? I’ve been exploring options including cheese and biccies, milo, nuts, protein bars, dry cereal, up and go for when I have no time. What else is good to snack on?

My baby is 4 days old and It’s always the same. I feed him, and I can tell he’s sleepy because of his signs. But then I burp him, put him in his swaddle to sleep, and he wakes up again. After that, it becomes almost impossible to get him back to sleep. We end up in thi230

- By Jessie_EmjI’ve come from the June group- just wanted to ask…. Has anyone ever had sterile water injections during labour?

- By HopefullovehHi lovely ladies 💗 I’m a FTM with a few questions about feeding.
