Breast pumps/feeding

OK so i was ment to just be breast feed my baby but he's been Im hospital as not geting enough fluids and having jaundice as my milk didn't come in untill way later and I only have a little amount at the moment, so we have to use formula for his feeds, while we were in hospital they lent me a pump to use so I expressed and gave him breast milk topped up with formula to the correct amount.. now I'm home, I was ment to be borrowing a pump but now theyre saying they are all out been serviced so to buy my own and I don't know where to start, I really don't want to spend 100s but I really need a pump, any ideas ladies?

Spectre pump 1or 2 are really good. They are recommended by many places as a hospital type pump to help bring up supply. Only difference between 1 and 2 are that spectra 2 is plug in and the other is portable

Don't get the handfree ones! I exclusively pumped for 18 months with my first and into my 5th month with my second. My absolute go to pump is the lasinoh 2-1 double electric, couldn't reccomend it enough. The spectra s2 is a close second

Medela harmony manual pump is my favourite and I got on better than the electric pumps

@Jess how do you get on with it? Could be an option 🤔

thankyou, I'll definitely have a look

much better than the manual I had, I pump quite a few times a day and can’t fault it x

@Heather-Jayde thankyou for the advice, I'll have a look at both, keep hearing good things about the spectra though

@Jess and its not going to cost the earth.. I could buy 1 for each 😂 will probably get one, always worth a try :)

@Abi Thankyou for the help, spectra seems like it's a winner

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
