Pumping on the go

My partner and I are finding a bit more confidence to be out and about with bubs. The only issue is we're exclusively pumping. I've been lucky enough to be able to produce enough milk via pumping for bubs but find myself stuck at home or constantly stressed about my next pump while out and about.

Breastfeeding is not an option as we haven't had a great experience as a family.

Does anyone have recommendations for portable pumps? I understand that they're not the best to get the most out of a pump but something to use when travelling or in public so we don't need to rush home l.

I highly recommend the Ella by Mumilk, it’s a great size to fit into the bar, so really convenient on the go. It’s not badly priced, around $300 for two. I’ve found it pumps really well. It drains me completely!

Thanks for the recommendation @Megan

Also agree with Meagan I recently bought the Ella and love it.

Mon Lait have the exact same model as the Ella for under 200 dollars! Have a look on eBay and Amazon for the same model, they’re not patented as they’re all the same hardware and motors just cosmetic difference!

monlait is slightly different, has an extra mode, so may actually be better? However the ones on Amazon are the same as the Ella, but I’ve read the reviews as I went to purchase another set to save having to clean mine so many times a day & they weren’t great. Some said they were missing parts & some said they stopped working after a few weeks. So make sure to read the reviews before purchasing off Amazon.

Hi Eshan, i saw your post and decided to make a video for you on my TikTok :

I hope it is helpful, if you have any other questions about pumping please feel free to contact me, I made a lot of research and helped my freind to start pumping too. And we both are doing greaaat job!

Best of luck!

The spectra S1 is hospital grad and you could pump in the car it has 3hr battery life.
My lactation consultant recommended this. I'm pumping and breastfeeding. But at this rate breastfeeding may not continue.

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
