Baby’s crying affecting pumping
Just venting I guess….
Only managed to pump 4 times today so far as my baby has been so unsettled 😫 I have a wearable pump but it is so uncomfortable to hold baby and settle him and pump.
Anyone else relate?

Deffo. Iv taken to hip carrying my kids while pumps are on
I have tried hip carrying and find it sooooo uncomfortable 🫣 he is only 3 months with limited head control so maybe that’s why…
maybe I'm lucky my little one is 3 months too but his head control is there enough I can manage it. He was very tough to carry before that. You can also get some carriers that have hip seats. Sometimes I sit my baby on one of these because it's easier to carry him Infront... I will find a link to a similar one

I’d say it will never be comfortable no matter what. I try to use pillows to prop her in between my pumps. I also always pump while I feed her, that way she’s calm and drinking and we finish around the same time or if I finish first it’s when she needs to burp and I take them off and finish
Yesterday I only managed to pump 15 mins per sessions as wanted to be held alot. I am so worried that my supply will be affected!
