Best Pump?

I have the Spectra and it’s great but I am looking for a second pump that is wearable/hands free - what works for y’all?

I love pumpables!!! You can hack them to be completely hands free but also can be hands free with a pump bra. I have a link and discount code to save $$ if you want!!!

I have momcozy and love it.

I don’t down hands-free pumps, while my Lactationist sis tell me those pumps should be used for emergencies only. They don’t clear you of your milk like the manual or hands-on ones do. I’ve heard great things about Momcozy.❤️

No pumps worked for me so I had to sit there using my hands I spend over £200 on different pumps

Love my mummilk Ella - it’s been so handy pumping and running around my son freely

I use 2 different hands free ones. I use Willow (gifted to me) and Phanpy. I personally feel like they give similar output and are similar suction wise. Phanpy is on the cheaper side though, especially if you’ll still be using Spectra because you’ll be buying replacement parts for both pumps.

I'm using Spectra S1, I've made two holes in my sports bra, so I'm hands free 😁 Tried other pumps, but this one turned the best. I've used it with my first baby 2 years ago and am still using it with my newborn.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
