Can we talk electric breast pumps?🤷🏽‍♀️🤔

Guys can I get everyone's opinions on ELECTRIC breast pumps I've had 2 in my time during motherhood. one manual 👎🏾 and the other just wasn't strong enough in my opinion...

As I expect baby number 3 in a matter of days I've realised damn I threw the others away lol🙄 #babybrain

So I wanna know what to buy next... there's so many brands and types and craziness I'm not gonna lie it's a little scaryyyyyyyy😆
Would be great to hear what you guys experienced during your journeys, what brand you got and all that jazz.

I'd defo prefer something that's on the cheaper side but if the money has to be spent for good quality then so be it💸 My kids are 4&2 so i wanna be able to still do what I gotta do while I pump and I wanna be comfortable as well...

Anyway let me know mammas😘

Elvie stride wearable single or double all the way, game changer! I used to use the hand held pump at the beginning but I’m never going back to that!
Pros: The elvie has strong expression, wearable and comfortable to put in a nursing bra, control it with your app if you want, holds a lot of milk too, it’s a must have in my opinion, the pump is external so you can slip it into your pocket or bag and the tube just ticks under your clothes, I have larger boobs and I find it comfortable to wear 👍
Cons : it’s got a small hole at the top so when you bend down it sometimes leaks but it depends on what you’re doing while you pump 🤷🏼‍♀️ battery life gets you about 2 hours then it needs a full charge but I just put it on charge after every pump and it’s fine

Mom cozy m5 - I have the double but you could easily get away with the single.

I would say the opposite of Elvie stride, if you're looking for something you can do stuff with it's not the one, it leaks milk out the top if you bend forward! It did the job but I had to express quite a lot at the beginning to maintain supply and it was too much for the pump to deal with really, battery life wasn't amazing and while it got milk out well in the early days it doesn't really do the trick any more. If I need to express at work I have to have it on for ages and there's definitely no supply issue now. I wouldn't choose it again but couldn't shell out on another pump so am a bit stuck with it. I always see recommendations for mom cozy so if I was to buy one I think that's what I'd go for

I got the Mom Cosy S12 pro, I love it personally but definitely compare them to your personal needs as well x

I second this. I used this and found it good! Just couldn’t bend down with it on as milk did leak out

I use this one! My only issue is the flange part is too small for me personally but it does the job while I’m at work

I used the momcozy s12 pro with my son and I loved it. I could do everything while wearing them. I exclusively pumped for 16 months and never had any issues with them and they worked perfect the whole time

Like Vicky I also have the Elvie stride wearable and it is incredible! You can choose the setting and it is super strong. I couldn’t hack the highest expression level personally😂 it’s comfortable, easy to clean and set up and it’s small enough to store but collects a large amount of milk. It is rather expensive but absolutely worth it in my opinion. You can also control it with your phone. It is also wearable so you just hook the pump part to your trousers and can get on with anything you need to do. Goodluck xx

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 🙂

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.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
