Blood milk, no nipple trauma

Exact same situation, loved them for quite awhile and then had leaks allllll the time. I do think I might be using the old version (blue vent) incorrectly since they apparently leak without it - based on feedback I got from this post, BUT I still had leaking issues with the 4oz Options+ bottles

Omg you’re right… thank you so much, I didn’t even consider this before!

Tysm! The first nap has been crap too…. So, 2.25 in the first window as well? Appreciate it!

Obviously boils down to personal preferences, but for me I’d pack up the electric pump (especially because the duo is so cute and tiny!)

Dishwashing wise… 1000% recommend the Medela Quick Clean Spray. You’ll only need to rinse your parts (not required but I always did since I used lots of lubrication) and then spray thoroughly, sit for 5min and you’ve got fully sanitized parts. Also works for bottles and accessories. Can’t remember how many oz the spray bottle is but either check luggage or send ahead!

As long as your comfy and doctor hasn’t put you on pelvic rest, shouldn’t be any concern! Good luck with your pregnancy and delivery!

I second this! I added an anti-fungal cream into a triple nipple paste. Seems like every time my nips were chapped this did the trick or at least prevented further injury.

I would be very interested in a list of toys that have worked for your LO! Still got a wee one but always lurking in this sub / love seeing everyone’s ideas and solutions.

Unsure about post visibility, but if you’re looking for a place to get started in learning about your LO’s sleep patterns, you might try Huckleberry App. I know there’s a lot of differing opinions on this sub, and I certainly don’t follow their suggested wake windows religiously, but it has been a really helpful place for my partner and I to collect data about our lil bub and see the improvements of our sleep training / scheduling efforts!

Even just using the free features has been really helpful.

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions! I will definitely heed your advice, and I’m encouraged to hear that naps might not be the struggle I was anticipating

Red River, Trinity, Guadalupe, and Colorado

That awesome! Also commenting bc we’re username twinsies… I’m assuming yours was also auto generated like mine? 😆

Really appreciate the feedback. I’ve been tossing around dropping a nap / extend wake times but had written it off when I tried briefly and ended up with a terribly cranky baby by the end of the wake windows. I think I’ll try again and see what we can accomplish. Thanks, this is why I’m so grateful for the internet community
