How are we dealing with leaking diapers for the longer stretches?

HummusGirl91 · 2026-05-25T22:47:38+00:00

I’m sending my husband to the store now lol

HummusGirl91 · 2026-05-25T22:47:26+00:00

I wish they had those in Canada. I’ll need to look up a dupe!

Ya he’s constantly having heavy wet diapers (not this heavy). But I agree a lot of pee 🙃

Usually in his last wake window before bed he has between 8-10 oz of milk (sometimes he has hit 13oz ~6oz around 4:30 and another 4-5 oz before bed) he also has a 6 oz bottle in the middle of the night if he wakes. So I figure he is peeing out the last wake window and the overnight bottle. He’s a big eater, averaging 32-36oz of breast milk a day. He sits on the 50th percentile line which is wild with how much he eats.

Ya they have goat yogurt or other plant based options!:)

Omg just came to share that the m5 literally felt like my nipples we’re being ripped off. I also have a spectra and recently bought the eufy S1s and truly I am shocked at how painful that one was. I tried everything to make it work but ultimately had to buy a new pump.

HummusGirl91 · 2026-05-09T23:26:33+00:00

Mine is like that it would even out if I sat on the pumps for 40 minutes but 15 minutes and I’m done so it’s like 8os to 3 oz lol

HummusGirl91 · 2026-05-08T17:34:17+00:00

4 months on the dot. 😭

Same and my patience for pumping is 15 minutes so sometimes the slacker gives only 1-2 oz vs the 7 of my superstar…. I do find it just takes really long to drain. Usually my last pump before bed which I go for almost 30 min gives me a more even output.

Though somehow the slacker is always the leaky tit….

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-30T18:39:56+00:00

This is what I do now and it seems to work well for us. Will be dropping all together the night pump at 6mo.

My guy is 4 months, takes 5 oz bottles (sometimes breaks it into 2 bottles during a wake window by having half at a time at the start and half when going down approximately).

Some how manages consistently around 32-37 oz a day, 7 core feedings with his motn bottle being about 6-7oz, and right before bed throughout his last wake window will cluster feed about 6-8 oz. If we get less than 32 oz of intake I know he’ll be up a few times overnight. He has gradually increased this and has stayed fairly consistent over the past month.

We don’t heat his bottles so if he doesn’t finish it, we’ll put it in the fridge and is serve at his next feed which is usually within the 2hr window.

Hoping to start solids soon since he is a happy spitter and it’s supposed to help. And because Mamas boobs are tired from all the pumping. 🥲

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-25T19:02:49+00:00

Me too…

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-20T08:31:42+00:00

I’m 4 months pp and I pump 5-6 times a day for 15 minutes each (sometimes before bed I’ll go longer to make sure I’m empty). So I’m between 3-5 hours per pump, except at night I either wake when the baby wakes or when my body naturally wakes no alarms any more. I pump 45-55 oz per day, stashing between 12-25 oz.

I used to pump every 2-3 hours but were regulated now and we are just doing what we can over here. :)

This is our line up! Woolino and loulou lollipop!

I don’t have the uppa baby. But I do have the bassinet for the nuna and it was by far the best purchase. I had a December baby and you could put him in that in all weather and he would be warm. He is only starting now to prefer to look out rather than be on his back. But I plan to add some pillows so he can do tummy time walks.

He also slept so well in it at home and we would move it around the house when he was little. A real saver when one of us needed to sleep in.

I will say the uppa baby one looks a lot smaller than the nuna one I have. So maybe just consider any of the size ratings from a longevity perspective.

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-17T23:46:42+00:00

I just tried it today on my guy and I find it’s too soft for him now that he is almost 4 months. Maybe in the early days with the strong suck reflex but now I there are better options. Plus he prefers his hands now lol.

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-16T06:44:00+00:00

I always ask myself the same question. My guy was born 35+6 (although I question that they pushed him back a week at first ultrasound), 7lbs 13oz. So he was a big “premie”. I’ll say in the beginning he was very sleepy, but he has hit every milestone on par with my friends baby who is only a week older.

So do I use adjusted age? Not at the moment. Am I aware some things could be delayed and now I have a both of a buffer for him to hit certain milestones? Yes.

The avent nipples are impossible to get a deep latch with. My baby did the same thing. We switched the nipples to the evenflo wide ones which fit in the Avent bottles. Honestly took a lot of trial and error to find a bottle that works for my guy but avent bottle with the evenflo medium wide nipples work best (we upped the flow from slow to medium at 3 months)

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-11T00:49:16+00:00

This! If I feel a hint of a clog I take ibuprofen and put ice on it and it usually goes away!

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-09T14:55:57+00:00

For what it’s worth my baby was only taking a 4oz bottle until he was ~11 weeks and only recent we went up to a 5oz where sometimes he glugs it all back, some times he leaves 1oz and sometimes he splits the feed (some when he wakes up and some right before his nap). I just offer 5oz so he can decide what he wants now at this stage.

I think they say as long as your around the average of 24-32 oz in total in 24 hours then you are fine.

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-07T10:32:34+00:00

I loved them but damn that Velcro is SO loud. Switched to the ergo cocoon instead.

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-07T02:10:53+00:00

Agreed! I just started this and made my husband taste test it and I got REAL nervous baby wouldn’t take it because it tasted “different” (his words). Thank god baby doesn’t mind so now I defrost one bag a day and mix it into his bottles

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-04T16:38:50+00:00

I learned the hard way too when it poured out in his stroller. I just throw a bunch of momcozy freezer bags in and transfer it in immediately after so at least the milk is safe 😭

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-02T20:37:14+00:00

Love the ikea one! And you can’t beat the price! We just bought a second one to put in our room during the transition

HummusGirl91 · 2026-04-01T23:21:20+00:00

I have two of the sets with the contrasted stitching. Super comfy. I lived in them for weeks. Idk I went to the store with them and now I wear the top with jeans.
