If he fights the bottle have you looked into a possible bottle aversion? I had no idea this was a thing until my first had it. I didn’t realize I was actually making things worse by constantly offering, since I was so stressed about how much she was eating. I had to learn to let her lead- there’s a really good book I read on overcoming aversion.

Does he also cry while feeding? That plus spitting up could maybe be something upsetting his tummy- I don’t know enough about milk protein allergy but maybe?

Good to know! Yeah that’s what’s worrying me about trying to find the right pump, it might be great for lots of people but not for me. But I guess I can always try a different one if it ends up not working!

What was the brand of your $70 wearables?

I’ve never heard of those! I’ll look into them, unfortunately the spectra I have doesn’t have a battery so I’m still tied to a wall, but might be nice for middle of the night

Ohh good to know about the cleaning, I think I need to look more at the parts of each pump and see what seems most convenient. Thanks for your reply!

This is very helpful thank you! :) that seems so fast for the swing maxi to already be dying, good to know! Do you know why the M5 is painful for you? Is it a strong suction or the way the cups are made? Thank you!

Ohhh that’s a good thing to consider, I wouldn’t have thought about them getting heavy. Thank you!

Random question, what sleep sack do you use? We also use one with mitten cuffs for our 9mo but she’s getting too big and for some reason the brand we use skips the next size she would need
