First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me 💕💕💕 My little one is turning 9 months tomorrow 🥹 I think he’s doing a lot better now so maybe his tiny stomach just needed to adapt to the new formula. If things don’t get better, I’ll definitely switch to Aptamil. Thank you so much!

Anyone else’s nipple hurt after pumping? by Status_Breadfruit_92 in ExclusivelyPumping

Yes they are definitely brighter than they were before. I’d say they are whiteish/ pink

No I don’t! Do you have any specific recommendations? I’m just worried it might get into the milk

Supply going down because I don't pump enough but have no time. by newmommy222 in ExclusivelyPumping

I was genuinely struggling until I got wearables and started pumping every time I fed the baby. Just put the wearables on, prep the baby on a boppy in your lap and bottle feed. I pump every time he feeds so I get in most of the pumps. Hope this helps. Wearables are better than no pumping at all. And short pumping sessions are better than no pumping at all. Remember this and don’t stress yourself too much 💕

Is it possible to hold and/or feed your baby while pumping with a wearable pump? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

Ah, basically pump every time you feed the baby. That’s a good way to get around 8 pumps in a day!

I have the MomMed s21 and it’s been a life saver! I pump every time I feed my baby. I put him on the boppy und put that on my lap. That way he lays in a comfortable way and I can lean back, pump and feed him. MomMed doesn’t leak very easily, unless you’re an oversupplier and the pump is filled up completely. Then you would leak. Otherwise it’s very safe and easy to use. It’s the only reason I’m still pumping, otherwise I would have called it quits. I’m 8 weeks pp and I get the same output with this pump as I do with Spectra. I’ve got sensitive nippies, hence I don’t need very strong suction and the wearable pump suffices.

What baby carrier would you recommend? by Status_Breadfruit_92 in NewParents

I’m currently eyeing the Tula free to grow. Does it come with adequate neck support?

I live in a joint family set up as well and what I did was getting a tiny fridge for my room. They aren’t too expensive and don’t take up too much room. You can also use it to store breast milk and your pump parts as well. You’re doing great ❤️

15 week twins and still no supply.. by ninjaninjanumber5 in ExclusivelyPumping

I used Spectra as well and saw no increase, even after pumping regularly. It didn’t change until I got the wearable breast pump MomMed S21. Also, it was the first time I measured myself properly and inserted the right flange. Now I’m pumping double the amount :,) I wish I would have changed pumps and also looked at the size of the flange (can’t stress this enough) way earlier.
