Momcozy Pump M6 or V1 Pro?

I’ve been exclusively pumping since my baby can’t latch. Currently using the M5 but wanting to get a new one. Any recommendations?

My supply is also only now coming in in the last month or so. My baby is 3 months old. I pump every 3-4 hrs except overnight where sometimes I go 5 hrs if I need extra rest.

On average I get around 3-4oz per pump…total…which is ok for me. I have enough to keep up with baby’s feeds.

My issue with m5 is that it’s not the most quiet or comfy to wear. It’s hard to hold baby or do certain tasks when wearing the pump but I’ve learned to live with it. I just need a good pump that’ll continue to empty me properly and help me maintain supply.

I’ve read that the v1 pro is awesome with the hospital grade feature but has anyone used it and can share their experience?

Looking for any reviews on m5/m6/v1 pro or if any other suggestions for a different model I’m open too.

Hi, I'm in almost the exact situation you are. Feel free to message if you want to chat

I have v1 and m9
V1 is much lighter and so don't need to worry as much about the bra you're wearing which is handy for overnight/ if you want to wear something softer

M9 is heavier but the ability to preprogram it makes it so much simpler so you're not always adjusting the settings. You definitely need a more supportive bra and I wouldn't say it's quiet

I get pretty much the same output with both. And I kinda feel a bit restricted with them both too but much better than a non wearable

I recently switched to Elvie pumps from nuuliee, I’m a sucker for smart tech. I find them to be super quiet and because of the shape, they literally fully tuck into your bra and are relatively boob shaped as well so they don’t look too chunky and they don’t really get in the way if you need to hold baby. I regularly do my chores around the house while pumping away. They’re pretty pricey at £500 for the pair set, I was lucky and got a lightly used set off eBay for a fraction of the price and I haven’t had any issues with them at all. I love that I can control them from my phone and it’ll literally tell me when a bottle is full.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

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?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
