Insured Breast pumps

Have any of you gotten insurance covered breast pumps through third party companies?(ie..babylist,aeroflow,pumping essentials..) or did you guys call your insurance directly ? I was thinking of doing it through babylist but I wanted to hear if any of you have gotten yours through any other companies other than your insurance ?

Got mine thru Aeroflow

I got mine from a 3rd party its easier than your own insurance. Would recommend get one closer to your due date so in case any defects that way you can get it replaced. You do need a prescription from your OB doc.

@stephanie yea I was checking it out rn. I put my info,I guess they need to verify i5 first and then they'll get back to me . How long did it take you to get your pump?

oh I do ? I see . I'll check it out !

@Michelle how long was the p4ocess for you to get a pump?

I used areoflow and it was super easy! I did have to wait until my Dr responded to their request for a prescription, but once they recieved it, I got it in about 2 weeks. And every 30 days they send me an email reminding me I can order free replacement parts

I would say like 2-3 weeks to get the doctors note and get it shipped.

Yes, the 3rd party would send you a prescription form once you place an order and you can send over to your doc. I just checked my emails I got it from The Breastfeeding Shop, for some reason Aeroflow declined my order request maybe they don't work with my insurance. But as the whole process it was super easy, all you have to go is pick a pump you like and placed an order with your insurance info that's it!!

@Lauren ahh okay thatsbawesome ! I registered with aeroflow like an hour ago and my insurance wasn't partnered with them sk I wasn't eligible for it 🥲

@JJ yes , I tried asroflow as well and got denied right now . I guess my insurance isn't partnered with them .🥲🥲I'll try the one you did

Aeroflow denied me but babylist was awesome!

I'll try thay too!!

I used Aeroflow! They made it super easy and they also remind you about replacement supplies and get those for you too!

The hospital helped me get mine through insurance.

I got both of mine thru aeroflow

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.
