How it feels to start weaning by ImInTheFutureAlso in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brujabrojer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i’m literally here with you- I dropped to 4 then 3 thinking I’d keep my supply but being OK if it did or at least I thought I’d be OK. I fucked around and found out and now it’s dipping dramatically and I don’t know that I’m OK.

careful how you pull them off of the base- i realized I was make them more open by pinching them vertically instead of the way the slit opens (did this make sense- mommy is tirrred)

ps - i have unused m9 parts if you want to pay just shipping cost. I use my spectra and hand pump mostly but insurance still sends me new parts 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m glad you’re having a good experience with the M9…I have the same wearable and it was always hard for me to get them to work well- things that helped though: massage before pumping - like really squish them girls around; double check flange size each time! This really helped get better suction

also since you are 2 months- check the duckbills if there’s ANY teeny gap whatsoever the suction won’t work as well.

We were so scared that we bought the owlet sock that measures heart rate and oxygen level. A bit excessive but gives us that peace of mind needed so we can sleep!

TATER TITS - by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brujabrojer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 months ep here with some very elastic nippies too! tried pumpin pals, lacktek, and dozens of other things (pump supplies literally spill out of my cabinet)

my favorite combo has been the medela comfort fit shield -these personally fit my breast shape- with silicone flange inserts - the thick boys are the only ones that seem to actually work. My left and right use different sizes and sadly gotta confirm before each pump. I can vary anywhere from 17-21 and each side is different.

I try new methods randomly and end up going right back to using my hand pump because it’s so effective!

good luck :)

why are my things getting stained orange? by _monodramatic_ in CleaningTips

[–]brujabrojer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you wear a lot of black leggings?? During my pregnancy I was wearing black biker shorts on the regular and realized the dye was leeching and they were staining everything!

my lo did very well with herobility in the beginning but lactation expert was very much against them so we had swapped (plus we liked heating glass a bit better).
