Mens while breastfeeding

I’m currently still bf-ing my newborn who is 11 weeks old but I just had very pink spotting today. Could it be my mens returning? Isn’t it a bit too early since I’m still breastfeeding?

I had that once, while bf my third son. I had spotting when he's 16 weeks old.

Switching from exclusive pumping to breastfeeding

Hi mummies, my baby is 6 weeks old now and I have been exclusively pumping because I had problem latching previously and had sore nipples. I want to try to switch back to breastfeeding. However, how do I manage my other boob as my baby is full after emptying one boob? If I haakaa the other boob, the letdown collected is very little and not enough to store. Should I pump the other boob to prevent engorgement? Or do I wait till next feed to give her the other boob?

After haakaa, you can pump for 10-20mins. So that can clear your milk. Even after breast feeding , also can pump to clear it off. Then wait till next feed.

Problem latching

Hi I just gave birth one week ago and have stopped latching as my nipples hurt a lot when baby latches even though it seems like she is latching correctly sometimes. What should I do to help her latch and ease my pain? I have been pumping but noticed white spots on my nipples too. Is it sign of clogged ducts? How should I solve this problem :(

Congrats on your new arrival. For me, bub was too small, and most babies will need to learn how to latch. You can do baby led latching. It also depends on the size of bub’s mouth, and your breast size. In the end, im using nipple shield, which has helped me alot.
