Pumping

Can anyone recommend any good pumps? I’m told, to increase my breast milk I need to pump more. However sometimes when I’m pumping I feel as though I should be saving the milk I have for my baby. Can anyone make sense of this for me? And recommend a good pump, only ever seem to produce in 1 sitting 20 to 30 mls and that’s the total from both breast.

Unless you after wearable?

That’s for the suggestion, I have been using wearable but my output is always bit rubbish. Wondered if it was the pump

How old is baby?
Are you breastfeeding directly too or just pumping?

I used pipetta breast pump, and I also used a hakaa on the other boob whilst I was pumping which would collect a little bit extra ( maybe foremilk looking back ) For me they both worked well. I think with the pumps to make sure the nipple bit is the correct fit, I had a couple different sizes with my pipetta and I think it can make a big difference if it is the wrong size. Hope this helps x

Rant and rage

I'm not coping and don't feel supported in the way I need. I try and voice how I feel and I get met with silence and huffs and puffs
My son has problems feeding and gaining weight yet my mil insists on holding and comforting him rather than listening to me saying I should try feed him or change him. I get ignored. Same with my toddler she will continue to give her treats when I say no as 1 was enough and doesn't need 3 of somthing. I feel pushed out and not respected
I'm finding it hard very hard

Difficult time

No one talks about how difficult is being woken up by your toddler at 5am in the morning then trying to entertain them until a reasonable time when shops or parks open…all that while hubby sleeps in undisturbed. And yes I try to wake him up but nothing could move him from the bed.

I personally find that time of the day so difficult when baby tries their best to push boundaries 😔

Vaccination

How many mamas are vaccinating and how many are not vaccinating their babies ?

No breast milk yet - what to do?

Hello, if my breast milk hasn’t come in yet and I’m struggling to get colostrum off would you recommend getting some formula to feed your baby? He is now 24 hours old. Doesn’t seem overally hungry at the moment, but I’m certain he’ll catch up!

Also, what brand of formulas are you looking at? The whole formula thing has scared me a little.

Thanks in advance xx
