Breast pumps

Can anyone recommend a decent breast pump ideally electric that won’t break the bank?

I’ve gone with momcozy as the reviews were amazing, you can buy one for around £50-70 or buy a double pack for £100 if you use a discount code x

I’m thinking of getting this one from Amazon - reviews look really good

I used the Philips advent last time which I liked. I started with a Tommy tippy one but it hurt. My partner has bought me a mam one this time (he said it was instead of flowers 🤣) but seeing as that’s the bottles we have it made sense

I got this one. Haven’t used it yet but it has lovely reviews x I got it for cheaper last week. Maybe they will make it cheaper again so keep an eye on it if you are interested x

Update: I just noticed some of the other colours are still cheaper x

I had Medela swing for first baby and thought it was really good. I bought second hand on depop and then sterilised myself (you’ll be sterilising the bits each time yourself anyways!)

hello! did you buy this breast pump? I’m thinking of choosing it as well, but the reviews seem too good to be true 😅

yes I got it! Haven’t used it yet 😬😬 Not going to pump til I need to as I don’t want to over stimulate etc. I figured £30 (it was on deal at the time) couldn’t hurt as the reviews looked so good

did you use this pump? I am due in August and planning to get this one as it is cost effective! Shall I go for this or invest in the expensive ones ?

Thanks you

For the breastfeeding moms

What drink should I choose instead of soda? I’ve been drinking a lot of soda and sometimes water, but I want something bubbly to drink while breastfeeding. I don’t like seltzer water or flavored versions. Please help me find a drink.

thoughts…

it’s my birthday in a few weeks and i’ve just found out my partner has bought me some lingerie… a few years ago this would have been fine, except i’ve just had 3 babies in 16 months (singleton and twins) and im currently 8 weeks postpartum… i currently hate how my body looks and know i won’t want to wear anything like it.
i’ve also recently discovered he is watching porn and pleasuring himself nearly every day… this isn’t something i would normally mind, but i think the frequency he is doing it makes me feel “icky”. it feels like he’s bought me the underwear to make me more appealing to him, without thinking about whether it would be something i’d want.

am i just being overly sensitive..?

Sleeping bags

My newborn hates a swaddle of the love to dream swaddle. So was thinking of a sleeping bag.

What tog do you have your baby in that is always a warm baby, rarely cold?
My girl runs hot all the time and normally has a thin blanket on but she is constantly moving so it gets kicked off

Don't know what to do

Hey im a first time mom to my baby girl. she is 20 days old and last night was up most the night. I've had 2 hours sleep total im so tired but she won't sleep at all. She will wake up and have some of a bottle and then when I put her down after burping her she will start crying half an hour later for more. She's on 6 ounces of hungry baby formula. Im just not sure why this is happening. Could it be sleep regression?

Wake window ideas

Hi All my LO is 9.5 weeks, sleeps really well at night (a 5-7 hour stretch, followed by a 3-4 hour) but that means she is awake lots in the day, she’ll have 30-40 minute naps and is wide awake 1.5-2 hours at a time, before I can even think about trying to get her back to sleep.
I’m just looking for age appropriate wake window ideas, she hates lying under her baby gym, she’ll do probably max 10 mins a day, we do tummy time, but again she’s not a fan. She loves just sitting and chatting with me face to face and reading books, we probably read 6 a day.
I’m open to all ideas please

Breastfeeding past 12 months

Guys im getting irritated. Ive been ebf now 8 months and my mum keeps saying in diff ways that “oh ur mummys gonna wean you off the breast soon” when shes 12 months.

And today shes telling me you cant breastfeed past 12 months.

And when i said i am going to and want to reach at least 2 years. Shes not saying “oh so u wanna breastfeed till 5”

Like what?

And then she’s saying because i still have baby weight i should go on manjaro. But obvs cant do that while breastfeeding.

So cant you still loose weight while breastfeeding past 12 months through diet and exercise?

Is anyone else’s family saying this about breastfeeding past 12 months? My mums just making me feel like im doing something wrong.

Is it not normal? I feel just annoyed because this is my baby and if im good with still breastfeeding her and if she still wants to breastfeed why should i stop.

How does breastfeeding past 12 months look like ?

Thank you! My rants over💗💗
