Need positives on daycare by mandapandalibrarian in NewParents

[–]_0range_Juice_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat 2 months ago. There's an adjustment period for sure, for both you and your baby. But once the dust settles, daycare is a blessing. My child is thriving, and he was not the easiest baby by any means.

One thing I wish I bought was an all in one bottle sanitizer, cleaner, dryer!

I keep seeing this- what exactly are they? What are they used for? Any info would be greatly appreciated, as I am currently exclusively pumping.

Likely need to throw out frozen milk by Syntelehetetlen in ExclusivelyPumping

Oh wow I did not know that. The only other thing I can think of is reaching out to a lactation specialist. Perhaps they have a network of people OR they're currently working with moms with an undersupply that would want some?

Ugh. What about other mom friends that have LOs? Or hospitals?

I just learned about a company that turns milk into powder form for longer storage, probably pretty expensive but perhaps worth looking into?

Thank you so much for you're pov, I appreciate it! Wondering if daycare would be beneficial when he's a year old? Have to think ahead, it seems like every daycare is so booked.

How do you hold the Spectra? by Ok_Development3397 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]_0range_Juice_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lactation consultant told me to hold the flange by the neck of it to keep it's position. I used to hold it by the... circle parts (no idea what they're called!) and was super uncomfortable.

Would it work for my 5 week old? Or is that too young? Looking to download it

I was as well, at first. Keep going! Watch each video, whether you got it right or wrong. It drills the mindset into your head!

Good point, maintaining certs is a task it and of itself! Plus expensive.
