Electric breast pump recommendations

I'm looking to get an electric breast pump. I have pretty large boobs and my nipples are on the lower side so want to get one that will work well.

Does anyone have any good experiences with certain brands and models?

I’m using the frawpaw wearable pump and I’m really impressed. You can choose valve size depending on your nipple size (there’s a guide). There’s lots of different settings, I wear it in my bra and normally get 4oz in 10mins

Also I am a 40 E at the moment 🥴

I’m using the Lansinoh pump it’s hospital grade there’s two size flanges I’m using the smaller one I was measured at 42DD/E a couple month ago and I’m definitely bigger in the chest now and find it works a treat. Bonus is it’s compatible with other bottle brands ect too or you can pump straight into a breast milk bag

Take a look at this ....I was skeptical at first for how cheap it was but I thought I'd give it a go .....I've been using it for a week now and I'm blown away how good it is.

Thank you everyone 😊

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
