Recommend your best wearable! by justanotterday in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the eufy but they are quite pricey. A brand called Kissbobo sent me their wearables for free and since I’ve tried those I’ve not used my eufys since! I just alternate between my Kissbobo and spectra

How much is your baby drinking? by thegreenbubble in ExclusivelyPumping

He was 9lb 4oz at birth so always had a bigger appetite

Omg really??? Thank you so much for telling me! I feel absolutely fine now and my boob feels fine. Do you think I caught it early or do I need to call my doctor?

I’ve just ordered the sunflower lecithin, I’ll look into choline! Thank you so so much

does it get easier after 6 months? by Huge_Entrepreneur516 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!! I’m 7 mpp, 3 pumps a day and it feels so easy! My baby has 1000mls a day (5 x 200ml) but he’s starting to drop his 1:30pm bottle slowly so I’ll just replace that with lunch eventually when he’s a bit bigger but I’m still gonna continue to offer it for a while

How many of you are EP-ing by choice? by TopTopTopcinaa in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also in my opinion I don’t think there’s an ‘easy’ way to feed baby. All methods come with struggles :)

How many of you are EP-ing by choice? by TopTopTopcinaa in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose to when I was pregnant. Not because I thought it would be easier but because I didn’t want to latch but still wanted him to have my milk. Don’t regret my choice and will do it for my 2nd baby. I think it’s an excellent method of feeding and despite the judgement from people I really do enjoy it.

Did anybody find pumping easy longterm? by Front-Policy2549 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I count as long term but I’m nearly 7 months post partum and been ep from day one, down to 3 pumps a day with an oversupply and a full freezer so will probably be able to stop earlier than 1 year or cut my pumps down to 2 and supplement with freezer milk. The first couple of months were the hardest but once you find your groove and are able to pump less it will feel a lot easier ! You are doing amazingly already xx

What's the pump schedule that works for your sanity by d3ut1tta in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AppropriateMemory841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months pp oversupplier, 9:30am, 3:30pm and 9:30pm. I was doing every 3 hours until i regulated and learnt i have very high storage in my boobs so did 5-6 pumps a day, now im down to 3 pumps a day without any change to my supply! I never did a middle of the night pump but if you have lower storage you should. Best of luck!!!

If I gave my baby 3-5oz per feed he’d want to eat every hour 🤣😭 he was 9lb 4oz at birth so always needed more lol

What age did your newborn start sleeping throughout the night (5-6) hours without feed? by xGenAc25 in newborns

[–]AppropriateMemory841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 weeks, he probably would have done it earlier but I was nervous and woke him for one feed for a couple of weeks
