I have a question for the mommies who are exclusively breastfeeding; do or have you have your babies cereal on your milk? I've been researching and reading a lot on BREASTFEEDING and I really feel strongly about strictly breast milk until it's time to introduce solids. But my family is so stuck in their ways they feel like a baby can not survive on milk alone. Any advice?
Anterior placenta? I found out yesterday, at my 20 week scan, that I have an anterior placenta and won't feel my baby kick as much due to it. Not until late pregnancy. Anyone else have the same thing? If so, when did you feel your baby kick?
#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related!

Hey Moms! Do any of you feel that your baby has been spoiled from all of the holding during breastfeeding? I think I have spoiled my baby boy. He loves to be held. He's starting to whine when I put him down.🤔
Baby girl names ending in -ley Hi! What are your favorite names or uncommon names that end with -ley? We already have a Finley, and I love Presley, but a good friend of mine may be using it. I feel like I have heard them all! Thank you!

if exclusively breastfeeding cereal will interfere with supply but like @camillesmom said it's your baby, you do what you see fit

Right. I'm a first time mom so I just thought it was something I didn't know. I think I should take my mom to one of the breastfeeding classes so she can know what I know. After all she will be the care giver when I go back to work.

I started giving my daughter oatmeal at 4 months so she could learn how to eat from a spoon I didn't give it to her in the bottle

Also tell her what you want for your child and she needs to respect it for that reason

Really? @camillesmom I didn't know you could start that early.
