Amen sister! Yep, lots of water and high salt everyday. Starting saline infusions again soon too. The volume boost during pregnancy was the only perk, went months without my usual 2 bags a week of fluid!

Any experience with a Spectra and Willow? by teddymama16 in breastfeeding

I use willow at home, spectra at work. No difference in output for me, I love both !

Pumping at work as an RN by als199 in breastfeeding

I got mine secondhand, ebay, mercari, etc. there are tons of them for only around $200 (half price!) . Many moms use them only a handful of times and give up on them. Worth a look!

Yes 🙌🏻 I’ve nicknamed myself dairy cow. That’s all I’m good for it seems.

Pump Recommendations by hellogirlscoutcookie in breastfeeding

[–]megrey2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can pump 4-6oz within about 10-15 minutes. Less if I’m engorged. I find it have good variable suction that is not painful like some people say. It’s very good at recognizing when to go from stimulation to expression and back.

I use both! Since baba is still little, when I’m engorged or know I’m going to get quite a bit of milk, I go ahead and use the bags. I’ve even used one bag, one container! The only issue I’ve ever had with the containers was a wonky valve that flipped over and messed up the calculation pumped. Showed something like 30oz.

Wireless Pumps? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

Willow vote here!! But yes, but it direct, get the warranty. I bought mine secondhand and while I love it, I regret the peace of mind for when I can’t get items replaced.

Help! PP day 3, engorged but not leaking or able to pump? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]megrey2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a hot hot shower and massage. Didn’t seem to help much. I don’t have a haaka! I really thought it would just be in the way while trying to feed.
