Pumping While at Work

Hi there! I’m going back to work in 10 days and was wondering if any of you have tips for pumping while at work and hopefully not negatively impacting your supply as a just enougher?

I’m concerned because I literally latch my baby all day and don’t have a certain time as to when I breastfeed him, I just do it whenever he fusses. It could be every 2 hours or 1 1/2 or 3 😭

Make sure you’re not letting more than 3 hours go by if you’re used to latching baby every 1.5-3 hrs. I was pumping every 3 hrs and I would randomly pump after 1.5hrs once during the day just to maintain supply lol

Baby Monitor Recommendations?

Hey Mammas!
Looking into a baby monitor that isn’t easy for someone to hack into (my sister had someone hack into the WiFi on theirs and take a screen shot of their babies sleeping 😳). I would also like to be able to see my baby from work and talk to her.
Any suggestions? TIA!

White noise for babies… I’m curious what everyone else does 🤍😴

A few questions for you all:

– Do you use white noise for naps, nighttime, or both?
– What type do you use (machine, app, YouTube, etc.)?
– Do you leave it on all night or turn it off once baby is asleep?
– What volume do you keep it at?
– Have you noticed it actually helps your baby settle?
– Do you worry about them becoming dependent on it?
– How long did you use it for?
– When (and how) did you stop using it? 👀
– Did stopping it affect your baby’s sleep at all?

Would love to hear different experiences because I’m still figuring out what works best! 🤍

Sleep

Baby boy has never slept through the night which we accepted early on, contact naps in day. The hourly waking up is driving us crazy. Exclusively breastfeeding and as weeks go on he is adamant to be fed to sleep and uses it as comfort through out the night. Really considering a sleep trainer but heard mixed reviews about this as they don’t always stick to the routine. My husband helps as much as he can which is great. Any tips and honest advice will be so so appreciated please!!! 7 months in and I’m losing hope…

Could you name a milestone your child/baby met; that had brought you to tears ?

I tried to feed my baby his bottle.. he was quickly annoyed with me holding it. Loll it was so cute how bothered he was. (( Ofc since he is my precious baby. ))I let the bottle go & He then began to hold it himself ! 😍😍😍 I am so proud of all the milestones he is hitting. It brings me tears of gratitude. 💓💓. Seeing his face, light up. He is why I get up everyday & do what I do. I love you Avery Wavery ❤️❤️❤️.
