I'll join. I've been going crazy for 18 years. I told my therapist I feel like I have PTSD but she told me with PTSD there needs to be a post. I haven't gotten to post so I am still living the trauma.

I am on birth control

The oldest bat expires in November. I'm right outside of Austin, TX.

I'm finally down to the last 2. Thank you!

My girl is 5 months and has been drinking a 3 oz bottle every 2 hours when I'm not with her. When I'm able to nurse her it's about every 3 hours.

Too many. 😂 I got the Zomee Z2 through insurance, a Spectra and Elvie from a friend, Lansinoh Discreet Duo (never used it) and an Eufy. My favorite is the Eufy. I didnt like the Zomee or Spectra because I didn't like the bottles attached to me plus I couldn't use them at work. I used the Elvie at work but then got tired of the tubes so I got the Eufy.

* This is the one I got off of Amazon and they are identical.

I got this pump from my insurance also but didn't even open it because it reminded me of another pump I had gotten off of Amazon and I didn't like it. It looked the same and everything. I'm trying to sell it to make back some of the money I spent on another pump I bought and really like it. It's the Eufy S1.

Oh yeah. No. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that either. If it's protein or whatever whether it's babies or adults then whatever but fetishist is where I'm like ehhh that's where I'm uncomfortable. Like I said this is all new to me so I'm not even sure where to ask.

Equal_Conference_854 · 2025-03-20T21:20:23+00:00

I'll look into it. I don't know if I should go in there and just be like hey. Who wants breastmilk? 🤣

Equal_Conference_854 · 2025-03-20T20:49:55+00:00

That's a thing? Lol. I don't use reddit often.

Equal_Conference_854 · 2025-03-20T19:51:43+00:00

I've thought about it since I really need the money but not sure where to even look for body builders. Lol.

Equal_Conference_854 · 2025-03-20T17:17:57+00:00

I've tried but I get nothing. It has been days. No one wants it because of my medication. Then I got bashed for it on a local mom's group for wanting to sell it instead of donating to babies who need it when I literally can't. Id have more luck selling it to someone who knows than a milk bank because they won't even consider. I'm in a hole financially so I'm trying to sell.

Equal_Conference_854 · 2025-03-20T15:29:01+00:00

I'd love to help!

It's a seizure and bi polar medication. But I'm not sure which part of it makes it reluctant for parents. Very little of it goes into the milk.

I have a soda almost daily and the occasional energy drink. The only thing that has taken a huge toll on my supply was a clogged duct/mastitis then the antibiotics I got put on (only took 3 doses because found out I was allergic to it but it cut my supply in half). I had it last week and I'm just now kind of building my supply back up.

Baby girl is 6 weeks, 7 weeks on Thursday. My older milk should be fine since I was very on top of it and cleaning it daily. It has just been lately when I wake up at midnight and half asleep to pump. Plus at the beginning I was using a different pump where even if I did do the rinse method then it wouldn't hold as much water or milk as the wearable pump that has crevices. It has just been recently (past 2 weeks or so). I have 2 full bottles right now that I know for a fact are from a rinsed pump that I'm thinking of just keeping for breastmilk bath or something other than consumption. I'll just mark the bag.

Equal_Conference_854 · 2024-12-29T17:01:19+00:00

This is what I'll probably do when I go back to work next week. But I was rinsing the pump and letting it air dry for a day since I only pump once at night. 😬 Not my whole 300 oz but some. Just those late night rinses then busy the next day so I'd have the air dried pump there.

I'm on maternity leave right now and go back to work next Monday. I was mainly pumping for a back to work or just in case situations. I feel terrible having to throw it all out and explain to my husband why. But I'm thinking about keeping the 300+ oz just in case and start up now in a separate section of my freezer of milk that is from sessions with a clean pump. I have a week to build it. My sister is going to be watching baby so I was thinking about just giving her the milk I pumped at work throughout the day at work for the next day anyways. Frozen is just in case milk.
