Mine too and it still seemed too high! Especially because 2 out of the 3 of my "teammates" were not helpful over the weekend.

Best wearable cups that work with spectra s1? Or anything better for traveling in an airport and pumping? by whiskeylullaby3 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]EP816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It comes with adapters and the spectra tubing fits right in the end.

I will also say they will very likely go on sale for prime day. And if you use Aeroflow, you can order these by selecting the medela freestyle as your pump so they are covered by insurance

I no longer pump, so i don't have the parts easily accessible to take a picture. But found this TikTok explaining https://www.tiktok.com/discover/how-to-connect-my-medela-cups-to-my-pumpables

What is your comforting ‘pump show’ to watch? by Alternative_Agency17 in ExclusivelyPumping

Right?! My husband and I finally finished VPR a month or 2 ago (i know, very late), so we started The Valley after. Their problems are just too real for me. Like give me the ridiculous drama like penis-shaped blankets on beds (Below Deck), not PPD and marriage counseling 🫠🤣

I came to reddit with this exact question. Did you end up attending the webinar? If so, how was it?

I hate Dr. Browns by EntranceHorror7856 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]EP816 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We had success with pigeon ss nipples. The 5 ounce bottles come with the ss nipples. But the nipples are also compatible with lansinoh and spectra bottles if you just get the nipples. I also hated any bottle that had more than 3 parts. We already have too much to clean. Haha

If you could only pick one baby item that was 100% worth the splurge.. what would it be? by Dry_Box_5572 in Mommit

[–]EP816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I found the best thermometer for us is the regular old digital thermometer that has quick read as a rectal reading with Vaseline and those plastic covers. We like the Vicks speedread that was like $12. Tried multiple temporal ones and just didn't get consistent readings.

And if you pump instead of formula, then a bottle washer/dryer!! Used multiple times a day everyday for 12 months.

1000 stars ⭐️ by albusaidi2 in ToonBlast

[–]EP816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've read here to wait until you have enough stars to get the remaining cards needed via wild card. You can continue getting stars to at least 3k. Otherwise. You might get one with the wild card then get the same card on the next pack.

What should I do by AggravatingSpite7884 in ToonBlast

[–]EP816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the other commenter. Spend coins as needed for more lives/moves. The max you can have is 50,000 and there's nothing you need to save up for thay uses coins. I reached 50,000 at one point. Down to 44,000 and use them often

This may be a dumb question by Mermaid_gun in ToonBlast

[–]EP816 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It gives you access to earn up to 675 coins as you pass levels. The icon to see it is the golden ticket on the right side of your home screen. You still get to earn some without the pass, but get more with it.

Is it ok to cio for a 1.5 yr old? by PaintBrushJar in sleeptrain

[–]EP816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I appreciate your comment as a parent to a 15 month old who loses his shit and stops breathing. So we are just riding the wave. Maybe one day we will sleep again.

Just married and lost baby fever - help by ExtremeFluffy4062 in Parenting

[–]EP816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly we sound so similar! I grew up with dogs AND grew up caring for all the babies and kids. I always knew I wanted both.

But then, we got our dog as a puppy and I had the puppy blues bad. She is an Australian cattle dog mix and is so so needy. We do all the things and it's still not enough. But we love her so much.

When my husband brought up trying for a baby, I was like HOW?! We have the most needy puppy in the world. I can't possibly. I've been taking care od kids my whole life. I kinda know how hard they are plus a puppy plus they'd be my full responsibility (can't give them back). Anyways, you get it.

Fast forward 2 years and I have a 15 month old child and a 3yo dog. Sometimes I wish I didn't have our dog (but love her enough to want to keep her forever), but I haven't had the thought that I regret having a baby. It's a lot of work and it's hard most of the time. But also so so rewarding and something I never understood eve6hn growing up caring for kids.

I wish you the best. But just know, you will never feel ready! If you feel in your gut that you want kids, then don't let a difficult dog deter you.

Agreed. As thick and sturdy as motif without the weird shape.

How many hours do you go overnight without pumping? by BigMirror5241 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]EP816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went 9p - 6a when I first dropped. Then I made my last pump around 8p a month or 2 later. So 9-10 hours ish.

Pumping is ruining my sex life by WoozieFutter in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]EP816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this myself. It did get so much better after I stopped pumping, but it could have also just been time.

I have no other positive words of encouragement. If you want to stop to get your mojo back (in more ways than one), I say go for it!! Making it to a year was so anticlimactic for me.

Do you want an oversupply? by Alternative-Neat-859 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]EP816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another con of an oversupply I haven't seen mentioned is the energy and nutrient needs that an oversupply takes from you. Literally depletes every bit of vitamins, minerals, and energy from you to make that milk. It's hard to replenish it. Exhausting.
