Best breast pump

I’ve been exclusively BF for 9 weeks now just from the breast. I haven’t pumped yet but want to start getting a supply in the freezer for when I’m ready to introduce a bottle.

What pump does everyone find best? Ideally one I can carry round with me so I can walk around and look after my toddler whilst the pump is on.

I pump all my milk (little one wouldn't latch) and use my pump 6+ times a day. I went with the Fraupow wearable breast pump and have got on well with it, just don't bend over when wearing it or you'll get a damp top 😒

I exclusively pump and have done since LO was 3 weeks (now 10 weeks). I use the new momcozy v2. Seems to be good so far I’ve only had it a couple days. Previously i used a Medela Solo which I loved but had to be held unless you buy the special bras 😂

I have the momcozy s12 pro and I love it. I’m mostly breastfeeding but pumping once a day to feed baby when outside.

Portable Breast Pump, 9 Anti-Reflux Forces, Electric Breast Pump with 1200mAh Lithium Battery for Home use https://amzn.eu/d/ji1tTtY
I use this found it easy and plus side is u can wear it in your bra it's bulky but good as was a cheap price when I got mine

I have a momcozy m5 and I love it so easy to use x

I use the medela hands freestyle double breast pump. It's amazing!

Momcozy for sure! I’m selling mine if it helps, used a handful of times x

I have the Elvie Stride and it’s great (believe currently a Black Friday sale on as well!)

If you're not bothered about having an electric pump and have a good supply, have a look at the Elvie Curve. I use it while I'm feeding my LO and comfortably get a couple of bottles worth every day (pretty much full one during the first feed of the day and another one or two with excess throughout the rest of the day). Much cheaper than electric pumps as well!

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
