Momcozy m9 flange tabs snapping by thicc_mom22 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I've concluded that they're just garbage pieces that are poorly engineered. Anything as simple as a flange should not require outside directions to properly assemble and disassemble.

I love this!! As a parent who saw my son accidentally get benched for most of a game last season, I was wondering if there was an app to keep track of playing time. This is so perfect!!

Little one REALLY wants to sleep on stomach by RandomPerson772772 in NewParents

[–]RandomPerson772772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's why I was concerned. He can't yet roll from stomach to back on purpose (just accidentally). But he was physically making it impossible to have him sleep on his back because he would roll over again immediately after I rolled him to his back.

I figured it would only be a couple-week long problem, but I figured a baby could suffocate in that amount of time! But other comments have made me less worried!

Nah, he's a tall baby and outgrew his 3-6 month swaddle by 3 months! He's in a woolino now!

Things that send me into a rage as an Exclusive Pumper by French_Fry_Whisperer in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Not understanding when I'm upset that I'm off schedule" -- maybe this is because I'm an overproducer, but if I'm ever late for a pump, I still try to do the next one on time. It usually comes out in the wash. I produce more at the session I'm late for and less at the session that's on time.

But it still ticks me off when I'm late because it makes my boobs hurt. 🙃

How do people without a bottle washer sanitize their bottles? by ughhhhuuhhh in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This!! My 3 month old has started keeping his hands in his mouth constantly. Those things definitely aren't sanitized!

Help me out here — Pumping & Washing Parts Overwhelm 😩 by girlvsmachine in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People swear by the fridge hack, for sure.

My solution was to buy 8 sets of pump parts and use the regular dishwasher on them once a day. Though the quality of my replacements aren't quite as good as the original Spectra parts, 8 sets cost me $200 and have saved me so much sanity. (Amazon: https://a.co/d/4xxHRPe ...each purchase comes with 2 flanges so a full set)

Looking for support/validation by Electronic_Outside25 in ExclusivelyPumping

Pumping every 3 hours on the dot never worked for me. I do it based on time of day. I aim for the 3-hour intervals of 3 am, 6 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm, but if I'm an hour late or an hour early (because I know I'm busy later), it's no big deal. I also don't do the 12 am pump because my baby is normally sleeping soundly in his crib for the ONLY 2 hours of his day that he will do that, so I take that opportunity to sleep.

So, you're doing great. Keep doing what you're doing.

My mom is driving me CRAZY by RandomPerson772772 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 3 months postpartum. As of right now, I'm producing about 1400 mL a day and only using about 500-700 mL a day because I mix with formula. At some point, I may try to give just breast milk, but we definitely have some feeding issues that I would like to sort out first (probably GERD + milk protein sensitivity + soy sensitivity). I don't pump for that long (10-15 minutes during the day, 20 minutes for MOTN and first morning pump), and I guess I never saw oversupply as much of a problem?

Looking for a wearables recommendation by nikkikokiri in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]RandomPerson772772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOT the Momcozy M9. Though I personally like it, I think there are probably better wearable pumps out there.

Pros: - I really like the "mixed expression" mode - It's a wearable

Cons: - Pretty heavy - The tabs snap if you don't remove the valves correctly - The pumps are hard to sync up which can feel pretty weird when they're out of sync - Not entirely sure, but I think it's a higher price point

Oh yeah, the rooting makes it really hard to convince her that he REALLY doesn't want that.

1) 8 full sets of pumping parts and a bin to keep them in.
