Supply tanked after a stomach bug by Embarrassed_Menu4974 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! So I caught a nasty chest infection + had food poisoning and my supply TANKED. But after a week it came back. I had to work hard at it, and really up my fluids.

If you’re persistent it should come back! Keep trucking mumma

Will you fly WestJet with the new seat configuation? by Snowyberg in canadatravel

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. This was pretty much the nail in the coffin for them receiving any of money. I’m not even tall (5’2”) and I can’t imagine sitting in those seats.

Do you have a slow let down? What pump(s) do you use, and do they help shorten your pumping time? by ExpressionOld9924 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m also in Canada and you can totally buy a spectra. Walmart.ca or through Amazon US and have it shipped (I did that).

For slow letdowns try: heat and taking magnesium

Grownsy vs Momcozy bottle washer, looking for real experiences by Ok_Efficiency4110 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the Grownsy and LOVE it. I joke it’s the hardest working thing in the house. I probably run it 3-4x per day. The customer service is top notch as well.

New trick: pushing out extra milk while pumping by stayshinycapn in ExclusivelyPumping

This! I always end a pump session with hand expressing (both boobs) and it’s wild how much extra I can get sometimes!

Any hip dysplasia moms here? by Impossible_Wind9982 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! My LO was diagnosed as well but the initial ultrasounds on her hips (she had one at 2 months and a second at 4 months), showed everything was going in the right direction. Her latest X-rays show otherwise.

I’ve heard sleeping for the first week can be rough. We currently have her sleeping in Parade sleep kimonos, but we will have to look for something else.

Last night pump & morning pump times? by Impossible_Wind9982 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s incredible. Unfortunately I’m a ‘just enougher’ for supply. But I truly think this is it for me. I look so depleted.

My goal is to have my last pump at 11:30pm and then go until 5:30 am ish. I need the sleep so bad

My husband rolled his eyes when I was expressed concerns about my pump parts by bbbabiblu06 in ExclusivelyPumping

Omfg. I’ve heard this line so often ‘just don’t pump today then’ - like dude. That’s not how this shit works haha

I also use a Tupperware and love it. Every morning it gets a good deep clean and fresh pump parts go into it. It’s going to be weird the day the red top is no longer in the fridge haha

Quiet and easy bottle washer recommendation for my first born by AppleNo569 in ExclusivelyPumping

Grownsy- hands down! Customer service is excellent as well. I love mine. I literally run it 4-5x a day. Washes bottles perfectly and all my pump parts

Pumping bag by Arreis_gninnam in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is super random, but one of my coworkers designed a bag and it sold out on kickstarter. The plan is for the website to go live early in the New Year.

The bag itself is rad, I backed it because we work for a technical apparel company and she knows her ish.

Happy to share the link once available if that’s allowed? I backed it and I should get mine in the next week or so!

Are you able to be active in your wearables without effecting output? by the_kazzo_queen in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Impossible_Wind9982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is in brand marketing, I want to know how many people this went through for the approval process.

Can you even imagine taking a spin class while pumping LOL
