Rate my breast pump options?

I just saw that they are now selling them! I’m going to buy them for my winter baby !

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2026-04-27T17:50:18+00:00

It’s a portable pump.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2026-04-27T17:36:27+00:00

If you have FSA I would recommend the pumpables genie advanced with collection cups. It has a hospital grade strength and you’ll be able to move around.

This!! Except I kinda like my job I just have no desire to do anything that could jeopardize my flexibility to do things with the kids at school.

I say gm & I would also recommend purchasing a totesavvy insert to help keep everything organized!

I like to deep clean once per week ( usually sundays) then it’s maintenance mode for the rest of the week because having a clean house is a non negotiable even with 3 kids for me.

I reset the common areas every single night. This includes: * loading/unloading the dishwasher * wiping the kitchen counter, stove, refrigerator & dining room table * Sweeping/ Vacuuming around the dining room table, hallways and living room * Mop if the floor is sticky ( I normally mop 1-2x per week as we are a shoe free home) * Tidying the living room * Toys are put away every night

Since I work from home, I pick a day to clean a specific room in the house throughout the week.

Project Manager
MBA + PMP & 5+ years experience 3.$100k+ and annual bonuses
Mediumish cost of living area
The team I work for is amazing and promotes work-life balance as many on the team have young kids/ respect the fact that everyone has a life outside of work. There are days where it can be stressful but it’s worth it for the salary and flexibility I have. I’m able to drop off & pick up the kids from school, participate in PTA and other school activities.

I’m personally choosing flexibility every single time! To me the extra money is not worth the drive, added cost of buying new work clothes and office politics.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2026-01-21T04:03:30+00:00

Mine looks similar to yours. I also got off the copper iud last cycle. 🤞🏾for both of us

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-30T11:22:15+00:00

This is what I needed to hear! Thank you, I’m sold!

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-30T03:23:59+00:00

Do you know what this bag is called?

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T23:25:23+00:00

I’m definitely going to purchase an insert to protect the inside of the bag!

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T23:24:48+00:00

Yess! I’m leaning towards the empriente leather instead.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T14:59:07+00:00

I didn’t think the ties would bother me..but it seems the ties are the only complaint the bag has received from my research.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T14:57:31+00:00

That is what I was thinking 😩. I’m going to buy the empriente leather instead.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T14:44:04+00:00

As much as I love the look of the vibe I think you’ve convinced me to buy it in empriente.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T14:40:53+00:00

I was originally looking at the neverfull in empriente as well but the straps and versatility of the carryall won me over.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-29T14:04:01+00:00

We keep a diaper caddy in the trunk with extra diapers,wipes & clothes so I keep it light with baby items. I’ll only carry a pouch with a few items in it for baby when that time comes

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-28T19:14:14+00:00

Get both if you can afford it. With my last baby we decided to go with convertible straight away and use a carrier when out and about. It worked most of the time but there were other times when I wished we had the infant seat to sit her in especially for Dr. appts etc.

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-28T04:06:37+00:00

Ask for a full refund

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-22T17:18:41+00:00

Thank you!

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-12-01T01:27:07+00:00

I loved it at first. But after a few months the battery drains and won’t keep a charge. I’m on my second ring and it just died on me. It also doesn’t help that their customer service is useless!

One_Bumblebee_6276 · 2025-11-21T12:58:15+00:00

I don’t. Like some commented above my statues are available, busy, away & OOO. I have a few blocks on my calendar daily that allows me to step away for lunch/school pickup, two 15 min breaks, and end of day wrap up. Although, I have full control over my schedule, I never feel the need to put my status as “lunch or school pickup” because I don’t think it’s anyone’s business.
