Power pumping with wearables

I know that a lot of people feel like wearables don’t empty you like the traditional plug ins. Has anyone tried power pumping with their wearables to be able to get a little more out of it?

It totally depends on the person! I see some who have wearables and they are able to get same amount they get on the wall pump. And im sure powerpumping should help get good output to normal when wearing. Me personally i had to pump longer with wearable and i tried momcozy dupe. I have used pumpable genie recently and that one pretty much empty me without having to pump over 30 min unless i wanted to or i waited too long to pump

The best time I have found to pump is driving. You’re still so you gets good yield and time passes quickly.

My MomCozy S9 portable pump works better than my Spectra for power pumping, and it’s more comfortable

Feeling really disconnected from my husband…

We have a 3 year old son. When our son was a newborn my husband prioritized my MILS feelings (was afraid to be honest with her and hurt her feelings). I was recovering from a C section and she was at our house uninvited when we brought our son home. He knew she was there but didn’t call her and tell her to leave. She knew I didn’t want her there when I brought the baby home.
We invited my MIL to meet the baby in the hospital- she did. The only thing that went wrong was she told us she didn’t like the name we chose for him. Also told me not to feed our baby formula because “it’s poison”. My MIL has always been bossy- controlling, uses a lot of guilt and shame to control things. She’s tried to control how we manage finances, where we live, and now how we raise our son.
Basically since my husband didn’t prioritize my feelings as the new mother - and didn’t put us first- I’ve felt unattracted to him. I view my husband like a he’s man child. He has finally realized how difficult his mother can be. But I just have felt so unsupported by my husband and part of me just wants to get away from him. I want our relationship to work but the connection and attraction seems to have vanished. I have a fantasy of meeting a man that’s mature, emotionally intelligent, that I feel taken care of. Just venting and advice welcomed…

Sleep help

How do you cope? My little girl will not be put down anymore. She will -scream- the entire way through the night if I am not stood rocking her or feeding her. The second I try and put her down she wakes up and will not stop screeching until she’s picked up again. I have had flu after flu this winter and i was hospitalised earlier this week because my body cant cope with having no rest and being unable to get better. Im so done with this I need sleep. I never wanted to do the cry it out method but even when I’ve had to because I literally didnt have the physical strength to pick her up, she would never stop crying. I tried making the bed warm, laying her on my t-shirt, white noise, lullabies, silence, pitch black then low lights etc etc, I am getting no sleep and its killing me.

Worst part is I have a husband but he has no regard for any of it. He’s never once helped me put her down or woken up to soothe her not a single time and shes almost 10 months. He knows how ill I am and how much I need rest. His excuse is that he goes to work. I was supposed to return to work a few weeks ago and I did go a couple days but then I have been put on bed rest by the doctors and not worked since because I physically can’t. I am so sick of being ill and he’s completely neglecting me and our daughter. How does anyone do this.

Sorry needed that rant

Disconnected from partner

Anyone bed sharing that feels a little disconnected from their partner? We’ve bed shared for the last 7 months from birth and for the past month my partner has been sleeping in the spare room as the beds becoming cramped.

I also go to bed when my daughter does 1. Because I feed to sleep and stay with her till she’s settled 2. I am so zapped by this time in the evenings all I want to do if lay in a dark room and 3. I have no idea what the night will hold so quite like getting as much sleep as possible, would hate to go to bed at 11 and then be awake multiple times

I just feel like we’re not getting much time together, I can’t remember the last time we snuggled or watched a programme together 😕 let alone intimacy😬 I just keep telling myself this is a season. we’ve been together 11 years and I know we’re good I just wondered if anyone else is in a similar boat or is this unhealthy?
