Spectra S1 plus or wearable pumps?

I have the spectra s1 pump but i feel like it takes up so much time and effort to use this. Are wearable pumps better or more worth it or should I stick to the spectra?

I had the same feelings and I bought a set of wearable (momcozy s5) and I am so glad I did. A wearable pump is so much more convenient and I found that it was all around more comfortable. However, it is not as powerful as the spectra so it takes longer to get the same yield but I would much rather be pumping handsfree for longer than be tied down to the sprectra for even just 10 minutes.

So you would recommend the momcozy s5? I was thinking of getting momcozy too but don’t know which one

I've got momcozy s12 and rented the spectra S1 to boost my supply but I didn't notice any difference in the amount I pumped with it - and it was so awkward to use and I couldn't hold the baby while using it so I pumped a lot less. Sent it back really quickly and stuck with the wearable ones which have been great for me x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
