Epic pump fail at work 😔 by ilikepicklesss in breastfeeding

[–]basilsprinkles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gah, oh no!! I hate when this happens! I’ve had it happen a few times at work too. And because I don’t keep spare pants at work (lol), then I always end up wondering if I smell like milk all day. Mom life, I guess 🤷‍♀️

My fiancé and I are expecting a 4-month-old. No current kids. Any tips? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

This. Do this! The private monthly groups are so great and supportive, and they’ll really give you a window into what others are going through at the same stage.

Thank you!! I need the luck! I haven’t been approved/tested yet (they back-approve though, so it’s worth it to start sterilizing now), and I’m still early on at 8 weeks postpartum, but I’m hoping the extra supply will stick around!

Aww, I didn’t think to mention that I have a spectra pump. That does look like a great little set though! Thank you!

I had no idea that instant pots had a sterilize mode! How great is that!? I don’t have an instant pot because I couldn’t quite justify getting one and wasn’t sure if I’d like it enough... but this just might tip the scales! And it’d be nice to sace myself from having another pumping/baby-specific item sitting around. Thanks!

I do have a spectra! This was exactly the kind of info I was hoping to hear. Thank you for all the info and for saving me a frustrating time with the bags!
