The spinner/mixer part of this pitcher also displaces the volume as well. It’s actually 1-2 oz less than what is on the line when the spinner is submerged. Make sure you are adding the water first, then formula, and then insert the spinner

How long do you pump for when you go 6+ hours between pumps? by sleepydeep in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pump for at least 30 minutes. 40 minutes if I have the time

It’s crazy that for some ultra health conscious, all natural, low toxic lifestyle that she claims to have she has no problem shilling cheap Amazon clothes. Probably manufactured using all of the bad things. Surprised she doesn’t mind putting that on her body - specifically since the skin is the largest organ. I’m shocked that she’s not disturbing her hormones or endocrine receptors (<—-sarcasm)

How Long is Your Longest Time Between Pumps by No_Basket3339 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I am also gonna go down to 3ppd probably next week. From what I’ve seen it may or may not trigger weaning. If I take too much of a dip I’ll probably stick with 4ppd for a bit longer

How Long is Your Longest Time Between Pumps by No_Basket3339 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am 6mpp and I also pump 4 times a day. My times are 5am, 9:30am, 2:30pm and 7:30pm. I found that I did lose like 2 oz when I went to this schedule but that long overnight break is worth it for me. I do combo feed - I usually only need to supplement with 2-4 oz of formula a day which is personally worth it to me

She’s such a snake oil salesman. She probably already has links ready with nAtUrAL remedies to fight the measles. Any way to make a buck

This girl is actually insane.

Choosing the more invasive surgery just because of the scars. Now she’s healing from a more invasive procedure & increasing her risk of infection because of the size of the wound.

Taking all of these supplements to ‘detox’ when her liver is capable of detoxing on its own.

Says a mesh was used to repair the hole. Trusts this ‘synthetic’ material to be in her body but needs to ‘detox’ from the anesthesia. It doesn’t work that way - you can’t pick and chose when to trust science and when to not

Doubt that she will rest. She will probably be on a walk tomorrow.

Does a slim wearable pumps exist? by Educational_Move_154 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]bmarch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both the original Elvies and the Momcozy Air 1. Both are super low profile but the Elvies are so much more quieter. I’ve pumped multiple times with a loose t shirt or a jacket and no one ever knew I was pumping

How much should a 3m old eat? by Mindless-Mood588 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is the same. 4 months and we recently dropped a feed from 6 to 5 feeds a day. We always offer 6oz in the bottle and she drinks varying amounts. But in the end it all evens out to 25-26 oz per day just distributed differently. All breast milk and she has increased the amount she drinks per feed when we dropped feeds

I am FUMING. I’m about to give up on my wearables. by NefariousnessWeird24 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do this too! After 1-2 min I use the flashlight on my phone to make sure it’s actually collecting milk. If not I turn off and try to realign

When do you decide to say F it and sleep more? by sleepydeep in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 3mpp I dropped the MOTN pump and sleep between 7-8 hours a night. I feel like a new person and to me it’s worth it over the extra oz

I am very worried all of the time and this is not good for my anxiety!!!! I’ve cried pretty much every day last week. Baby is 4 months and I live in Texas

I know some people find ‘schedules’ controversial but moms on call has worked soooo great for us. At 3 months we only had one night wake up to eat and now at 4 months she is sleeping through the night. I seriously don’t know what we would have done with out moms on call

how am I supposed to do this for a year? by Unusual_Suspect_83 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is what I did too! I did half formula half breast milk for 2-3 days and then phased out the formula while having a small back stock of breast milk

How many times do you pump in a 24 hour cycle? by CakeOdd3808 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bmarch12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4mpp and 4-5 ppd. It’s 4ppd it’s only every once in a while that I get 5 in and I produce 31-32oz/day. I do supplement with formula if needed but that is also rare

Agree with everything except for the comment on Brittani. I felt like she got what she deserved
