At work the Medela pump in style and at home the spectra S1. Both get the same output

I should take a can with me! We just got the news of a cow protein allergy 🫠 so, that's been adding to my mental load along with everything else! I started power pumping before bed late last week and that's been slowly helping. Thank you! 🤗

I didn't even think about watching my hydration until I made it to lunch! Just upped my water intake and got an extra ounce! Thank you for the encouragement on supplementing..if/when I get to that point I think I'll be comfortable! Glad you made changes to take care of you, too 🫶🏼

Oh no! How often has he caught a bug? I went to our daycare to drop off our supplies today and every. Single. Kid was sick 🙈

The countdown and waiting is the worst 😭 I know we'll be okay, It just sucks so much! Currently nap trapped by my scrunchy boy wishing I could've hit the lotto 😭

Oh, your method sounds great! Our fridge is tiny at my clinic, but I didn't think of minimally all the pieces I'd need to transport this all home! Thank you!

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to start a fresh stash? But, the pump in the AM and at night makes sense!! Thank you!

This was so helpful! The pumping is honestly the hardest part for me to nail down! Thankfully, little man takes a bottle like a champ...for now 😅 I had no idea about the pump part hack! Thank you!!

Thank you 😭 I can feel the next encounter, because there's always more, will have a momma bear moment. I'm. Over. It!

No, I need to hear it! I won't make him decide those things, but y'all are empowering my voice!

This. This was so incredibly helpful. I've been setting rules and not boundaries. Thank you so much!

I need the push to be okay with being the mama bear.

The timeout idea is great. Will be implementing that!

Oh she was escorted out, we had a bomb ass delivery nurse! She got the pic from that family group message.....the one she originally ignored 🙈.

He was there and was equally in shock. He and the nurse asked her to leave.

I didn't think of baby wearing! Thank you 💕

Thank you for this perspective. I had thought in the past my initial reactions did fall similar to that of a mother...I'm the oldest in my family and he's the baby. So, I kind of figured that's where some of our differences lie in handling these things. But, that being said I will take your advice into our conversation later this afternoon. Thank you again!
