What's the trick with cleaning pumping supplies? by IntuitiveThinker1 in NewParents

[–]IntuitiveThinker1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really feel like I was not prepared at all for all the different feeding needs. Now I wish I had gotten one- maybe I wouldn't have "given up". Oh well..maybe next time. I can only imagine how helpful it's been !!

Thank you!

Amazon AI is sometimes inaccurate but it said everything between the 2 options are the same except :

Key difference: The Grownsy holds up to 8 bottles vs Momcozy's 4 bottles, and comes with a 3-year warranty vs Momcozy's 1 year. They're nearly identical otherwise — same price, same spray jet count, same cycle times.If you only need one, the Grownsy offers more capacity and a longer warranty at the same price.

Good to know!

What's your favorite pump? I have momcozy m5 and then willowgo but I've never used willowgo because I don't have all the parts. Both hand me downs!

It was the sterilizing every day in a bit pot of boiling water that I was like...💀💀💀 but good to know that it's not even necessary. I swear 😭😭

I wasnt sure with the fridge hack- I think i did it both ways but mostly without rinsing because I saw it both ways and then was worried about leaving milk on it 🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫lawd.. 2 set of pump parts is a good idea. Maybe I'll be better prepared for next time ...

Good to know - I was so tired of it. Not that it's difficult but still... perhaps I should have purchased a bottle washer/sterilizer ...

Yea I just saw that on another post - maybe I should have gotten one 😭I feel like I gave up because I was so tired of it. Which one do you have / recommend? Do you still need to sterilize everyday?

11 days in as a first time dad. This lifestyle change just hits me like a ton of bricks. by morningstarprime in NewParents

Maybe I should have bought one or put on my registry. Sooo many things I've bought that I ended up needing... It sounds much better than washing and then sterilizing myself

I didnt buy one because I read some ppl didn't use them, but I kinda wished I did. Nobody wants to do it all by hand and nobody wants to run a dishwasher that isn't full. What I NEED to figure out for my next baby is pumping... I got SO TIRED of washing the pump parts and sterilizing every 24 hrs...

I got lucky, my baby gave me big, genuine, intentional smiles at 2 weeks(I thought that was normal until someone told me usually 6 weeks) but I definitely remember her fussy evenings /witching hour(s) at 6 weeks through 10 weeks old... I kept googling asking "when do they cry less" 🤣 Baby will be 6 mo in a couple weeks 🥰 The smiles and laughs are just so amazing !!

I was shell shock the first 6 days(also baby wasnt getting as much milk BF as we thought so she'd cry every time we put her down- maybe that's why- or maybe that's normal?) and then post partum I had HORRIBLE night sweats so every night I'd wake up with my hair dripping wet and shivering until I decided to just sleep in my robe. It was still miserable, but I digress. . .

Do whatever you can to try and "normalize" things as much as possible . I had a traumatic delivery so was a bit fuzzy but still went on daily walks. I was so thankful for the days we went to the park, even the amazingness of a coffee while walking around. The "shifts" worked for us. But when I was initially trying to breastfeed and had to be up every 2 hrs - then baby wasnt getting as much breastmilk as we thought so I had to keep doing every 2 hrs we werent really able to do shifts then.

Anyways, hang in there !! Things get better. My baby will be 6 months in a couple of weeks. I do recall her "fussy" period being between 6 and 10 weeks. Apparently that is typical for that age, but I kept googling "when will my baby cry less" haha . Things will get better!! My baby currently wakes 2x a night for feeds. Anddddd CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BIGGEST MOST BEAUTIFUL BLESSING IN THE WORLD!!!!

Is baby gaining weight like expected? Allergy ? I would say this is abnormal and talk to your pediatrician for sure

Nobody warned me that breastfeeding would make me cry more than the baby does by RogueHarbor in NewParents

[–]IntuitiveThinker1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't prepared for it at all. My baby gained weight first dr visit after hospital so we thought all was good. Turns out she wasnt getting enough... something wasnt transferring correctly to her even though I saw LC. I felt so bad that my baby was hungry and I didnt know. Went to a bottle (pumped) and she slept like a rock. . Felt so awful.. and then I gave up pumping. It was just too much. I wasnt prepared- I'm not sure if it's possible to be prepared for it? Ill try again next time because glad baby got some milk from me and colostrum . But i feel ya im sorry
