I have an Elvi pump, it’s very expensive but it’s great I can just get on with my day and move around with it jn my bra

I have a budget hands free electric one, bellababy - again it just goes in your bra and works away on whichever program you wish. It does the job for me right now x

I have the Tommi Tippie one that came in a bundle with the sanitising machine etc. It's great. My baby started to breastfeed at 15 days though with some gentle encouragement every day, just once or twice a day offering him the breast and it's like something just clicked - now he loves his milk straight from source 🤣

Momcozy is great! And you get discounts if your a health worker, military etc x

For my first few days I found the Hakka pump really good. Slower than an electric pump, but really cost effective and easy to use. I now use mom cosy electric pump too, now my milk is more established x

I was using the NCIV hands free pumps but my milk kept on leaking into the motor then the pumps started operating on their own. So I ended up switching to the Bellababy hands free pump and it’s just been the best for me and a time saver.

Got it off Amazon

I’ve got the momcozy s12 pro double (2 x pumps) and it’s great. It has lots of settings and I can just put it in my bra and carry on with my day.

Thank you all for your time and response x

I’ve got a momcozy and they’re amazing x

Elvi is a life saver. In the past I’ve used the Hakaka, Medella, & Bella Baby but this blows them all out the water. Expensive but worth it if you get a lot of blocked ducts like me 🥹

I have an Elvie stride, a haaka pump and a plug in lansinoh 2 in 1 double electric pump.

Love the haaka to use on the other breast when feeding and find the lansinoh so much more efficient than Elvie for me - get the same in 10/15mins plugged into the lansinoh than 45 mins using Elvie but everyone is different!

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

4 month sleep regression

Does anyone else feel like they’re back in the newborn trenches through the 4 month sleep regression ?? 😭😭 my boy turned 4 months yesterday and the past 3 nights he’s woken up every 20-40 minutes. He does manage to get back off to sleep after I give him his dummy. It’s so strange though because his daytime naps don’t seem to be affected? He has 2 x long naps a day (around 2 hours) and a couple 30-40 minutes here and there and seems fine during them, it’s just his night time sleep! I read it can last for 6 weeks, I pray it doesn’t because I am shattered 🤣🤣

Is this a normal poo?

Apologies for picture included. 1 year old has had a funny tummy since Friday not watery diarrhoea but very explosive and paste like poo and he’s not being eating as much but been drinking his milk and water normally! Today we had this poo though and it seemed a very chalk like consistency and very pale. Just asking for thoughts and advice really. He did also have lots of cream on his bum.
