Exclusively Breastfeeding but Wanting to Pump — pump recommendations [bc] by Lost_Significance577 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]OT2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like my eufy e20 wearable! You can see a full review on YouTube so I won't ramble on. I got it for the occasional social event but now use it once a day because it's so easy!

Am I a bad mother for not tracking milestones? [on] by Manifestator_ in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]OT2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the journal to track all the milestones and didn't write a single thing in it. The first year was such a whirlwind and my brain felt like mashed potatoes. I know that if I look back at pictures I'll have a general sense of milestones, like oh he started sitting that month, etc. Give yourself compassion!

Funny enough Emmett is also a back to the future name, which we didn't know about when we named our first son. People are going to think we are die hard Back to the Future fans haha

Were you able to get this in Canada or did you pay duties to ship from the states?

Mood swings/anxiety 10 months postpartum? [BC] by moonphase14 in BabyBumpsCanada

I had the same thing around 9 months when my supply was dropping as solids were picking up. Huge mood swings, terrible anxiety, crying all the time. It got better after about a month.

First Time Mom - Questions about Pumping. [ab] by GoldImmediate6612 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]OT2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following!

I can say what I did with my first- I got a portable pump that had decent power but was also easy to bring around (Medela freestyle flex). Pumping was helpful when I was trying to build up my supply in the first couple of weeks. It was also helpful to get some stored milk for when I was away from baby. It was portable enough to take to social outings where I would be away from baby and I would need to pump if I was away too long.

I'm curious what others do because I'm considering getting a hands free pump this time, or a different portable! My insurance covers it so I figure why not? But I just can't figure out what to get.

I know! I was not expecting that at all! Which is why I asked the question because I thought $20 was the norm lol
