I have Medela, the hospital grade, it empties my breast very well.

I have the medela and it works fine - takes a bit longer to empty. I also have a spectra and it’s my favourite! I’m in Canada but could order it off American Amazon

I love my Medela freestyle so you can walk around and not be stuck at a plug

Personally I've had couple medela and they are good but parts fail very quick on them first one i had yellow rubber fail and I had returned 3 tines have the freestyle now and machine playing up to be honest I think they not meant for long periods and after couple months will completely deteriorate

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Naps!

My 12 (almost 13) week old little boy has only had two 30 minute naps today😢 he wasn’t fussy or crying, but would lay there grinning at me instead of sleeping. I tried rocking him but he would cry when being held… only wanted to be in his crib.
We finally got him to sleep when we went out in the car this evening and has gone down well now. Is this normal that he is fighting naps so much? He normally naps well during the day, either contact naps or in his crib! Any tips for if this happens again tomorrow?

Deodorant

Ladies what deodorant are we all using?

Since the sun has finally remembered to exist and we've been going on more walks I STINK. I smell like I've been laying on the beach in the sun covered in oil all day. All just after going for a walk.

I know a lot of people struggle with this postpartum but it's so embarrassing!

I just can't seem to find one that works for me?

Help!?!

First wake window

How do you spend first wake window with your baby?
I am not morning person so I struggle to be all happy at 6-7am 🤣 and since first one is quite short (1.5 hrs - what is yours btw? 🤔) then what do you do in that time?
I won’t lie. Baby wakes up at 6.30am and I’m just waking up slowly on my own for the first 30 min while he is chilling next to me 🙈
Do you stay in bed and play there or do you leave bed and move around etc?

5 ounces of formula every 3 hours?

Hi,

My 6 week old is having 5 ounces of formula every 3 hours like clockwork. He is 4&1/2 kg and the doctors are very surprised. Is this normal?

Doctors said a baby of this age should be having 3 ounces. And i should look to reduce the amount but Baby cries after i give him 3 ounces but calm when hes had 5 ounces.
