Wearable Breast Pumps - any recommendations?

Does anyone who wears a breast pump have one they would recommend? Any that you wouldn’t recommend and why?

I love my dollve because it emptied me out quickly and it was cheap! It does hurt until your nipples get used to it though because the suction is very strong, I never had to go above the lowest level

I love the Pipetta - it was easy to use and fairly reasonable and comfortable

I like my Elvies a lot. They empty me out and work just as well as my medela breast pump. However I have heard they work better with smaller breasts.

@Maddy Manning where did you buy yours bc everywhere I've checked it's out of stock

Tommee Tippee-Made for me. Although I don’t use it everyday as BF, it works great especially while travelling or before days out.

I got it off of Amazon and it was only $40

Pippeta - best one I’ve used, and the cheapest. I found the suction a little painful for a good few weeks, but having used it a while now it’s totally fine. Good capacity and it never leaks.

Wren - hated it. It kept spilling, leaking and having it in even the slightest wrong position would result in it not working properly. If you search Amazon there are also a bunch of the exact same pump with just a different logo on it, for a cheaper price.

Elvie - I’d say is good, but not good enough for the massive price tag. It was a bit less clunky shaped than the others I’ve used, and a bit quieter.

Love my fraupow, cheap and getscthe job done

I have Bella Baby pumps, I got them on Amazon, I like them!

My Elvie broke after like 6 months which sucked. I loved it when it did work though!

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
