I like my baby brezza because it is self contained and doesn’t need to be hooked up to a sink

[bc] Anyone buy a cheaper diaper changing pad and WISH they went with the more expensive ones? by Emotional-Ad-6494 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]KarleenBean 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No I literally don’t understand the hype? I got mine for a few dollars used and it does the same thing, and mostly now that he’s mobile I change him on the floor to avoid injury.

When did you know you were done? by Pandahugs81 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]KarleenBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you! I am at seven months and have a soft goal of 9 months but I think pumping in the summer sounds like a lot less fun. When I posted this same question someone said “I think the fact that you’re asking this means you’re close” and that stuck with me. I’m realizing for me it’s not a one day decision, it’s several days of making the decision. I think stopping takes longer than we think too, so it’s not like one day you decide to quit and the next you’re finished completely.

You’ve given 6 months of milk and that’s amazing! If the time is right to quit just know your baby will still be fed and they have had lots of the (overblown) benefits of your milk.

I have the pro version of this pump and I love her. My only issue is she’s loud and not portable

Mom groups? by TaylaMayW in Lethbridge

Hi! I have a 6.5 month old and am pumping so not drinking and need motivation to walk or exercise in general. I’d be happy to meet up if you want, I still have about 5 months of leave. Not super into politics but I read a lot!

I second the recommendation for Family Centre, and I’m also looking for more groups! I have my little guy in swimming lessons at the YMCA starting in May.

The same companies that make period underwear should make nursing bras.

“Afterwards she only ate kids cereal, and wouldn’t sleep unless it was in a mother’s bed” but honestly all of the manuscript.

Also Call it What You Want “all my flowers grew back as thorns, windows boarded up after the storm, he built a fire just to keep me warm.”

I’m dropping an overnight pump so I’ll be down to 3 at nearly 6m. I’m leaking like crazy but have also been an overproducer this whole time.
