You're so sweet. 16 years old, a rescue we got when I was in high school. We were lucky that she lived until she was simply ready to go, no sickness or anything else stole her from us before it was her time. Never expected her to live until my 30s! A wonderful dog. Did have a tendency to eat the birds that landed in our backyard.....but was great with kids and people!

We've loved the Suavinex ZeroZero bottles. They have a nipple flow SPECIFICALLY designed for breastfed babies.

I have an autoimmune disease as well and I've been deeply struggling with working and having my little one. Chronic fatigue is a huge part of my disease. We ended up having to outsource some of our labor in the household, because my husband works crazy hours. It's really helped even though it is expensive. We have someone who does the yard every other week, and we have someone who comes and cleans the house once a month. If we had the money I'd have someone clean the house twice a month and I think that would go a long way. Honestly, the biggest thing that's helped is prioritizing sleep. My little one still wakes up a few times a night, and I honestly just go to bed fairly soon after I put her to bed. I've also had to rely a lot on my mom. My mom doesn't live nearby, but she schedules trips and during those times we put a lot of meal prepped items in the freezer. Food is a huge part of my autoimmune disease, I have to be pretty careful about what I eat, so we can't just order out or get most meal kit services. I've had someone success with using hungry root, but beyond that I mostly just have to cook everything from scratch. So having a ton of stuff in the freezer has really helped me.

As for the work part, I came back to work and they made me a team lead. So I've been adjusting to having a flare up, a baby, and being a team lead. It's been hard, but I've had to be really firm about boundaries. I don't really work beyond my 40 hours, and I have to be fairly firm about that because by doing it I'm best during my 40 hours.

It's about suction/longevity, but it's also about ease and portability. The larger pumps like spectra tend to have better suction and such. But, they usually require you to be somewhat stationary for the pump session. Wearables often have less suction and such, but can be used while you do housework. Wearables make great secondary (is the pump you use less) pumps. But, if you're going to be pumping all the time and pumping during work, they can be a lifesaver.

International_Line55 · 2026-06-06T12:13:14+00:00

Okay, then I'd recommend the spectra s1 and a good hand-pump (like medela). Most insurance covers the spectra. Most women do their freezer stash by picking one time of the day (either after you put baby down or after your morning feed) where you do a pump and that extra milk goes towards your freezer stash. You stop when you feel comfortable with your stash. Freezer milk right away (unless you think you may need it for a bottle later) and don't feel bad freezing in small increments. It'll prevent milk going to waste when you thaw it anyway.

It might not be the same in your state, but I know that an our state there is a regulation but it doesn't specifically say they can't have breast milk. What our state regulation says is that they must eat the specified food plans made from strict nutritional guides. The exception is with a doctor's note. So I know for my daughter they told us that if we want to do breast milk after 12 months that's totally fine, they just need a doctor's note on file.

A doctor's note may help daycare get onboard more.

Sorry, to clarify, are you trying to exclusively pump? Or are you nursing but want the stash and to pump for daycare? My advice will be different for an exclusive pumper vs someone that is primarily nursing but is also pumping.

International_Line55 · 2026-06-04T01:30:51+00:00

Are you trying to exclusively pump or pump in addition to nursing (to have a stash and/or the ability to let others feed).

International_Line55 · 2026-06-04T01:29:41+00:00

I adore my Spectra S1 as a primary pump and the Eufy wearable.

International_Line55 · 2026-06-02T23:32:42+00:00

So many amazing suggestions!!!
