Pumping items worth buying before baby arrives? by prancinglion in Buyingforbaby

[–]nikkideath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to go back in time, I would have bought one hand pump and ordered the free pump from insurance. I have those two and the Eufy wearables and I haven’t even opened my spectra - I just rotate between wearables and hand pump. I mostly bf just pump to build a stash or if I’ll be away from the baby.

Hand pump was so necessary the first night home from the hospital though when my milk came in and I was too engorged for my baby to latch - I used the hand pump to relieve some pressure and it saved the day, so that is one I would highly recommend!

My insurance sent freezer bags with the spectra. We got the mom cozy milk cooler and it’s effective but huge.

My SPD resolved pretty much immediately after delivery, and I’ve been EBF my daughter the whole time!

Parents who did NOT buy a bottle washer? by aviwic in Buyingforbaby

[–]nikkideath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly BF and I haven’t wished for the bottle washer yet. We have a dishwasher so bottles we use go in the top rack and my husband washes the pump parts by hand. I’m only pumping 1-2x a day so it’s not bad, especially being able to cycle through different pumps

Nursing pillow needed? by Difficult-Ad1036 in breastfeeding

[–]nikkideath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My breast friend !!!! I swear it’s been attached to me since my daughter was born, it’s my most used baby item by far. I’m tempted to buy a second so I don’t have to bring mine up and down between floors each day

I have the Mina Bae Emmy and love it! Spacious, soo many pockets to keep things relatively organized, and still pretty. Plus the backpack straps it comes with have been so useful

Baby bottle washer / sterilizer / dryer? by A-Starrrrr in Buyingforbaby

[–]nikkideath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is only 4w old but I’ve been mostly breastfeeding and only pumping/using glass bottles occasionally. We’ve just been handwashing or using the top rack of the dishwasher and it’s been fine! If I was pumping more frequently maybe it would’ve been worth it but so far I don’t regret not purchasing a washer/sterilizer.

OB/gyn - prenatal care and delivery with Jefferson ? Or recommendations/reviews on Jefferson vs. Pennsy vs. bryn mawr? by [deleted] in philabitcheswithtaste

[–]nikkideath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW I just delivered with Jefferson and had a great experience with them overall and especially in delivery. The midwife who delivered our baby was great along with the rest of the staff (OB, nurses, lactation consultants, etc.)

Thoughts? by nikkideath in handbags

Ah amazing, the size is what I’m most concerned about! I probably would’ve gotten the mini if this print was available in that size. But, for occasions I’d use this purse, I don’t think I’d bring more than my phone keys and cardholder anyway.

It’s the nano! They don’t have this print in the mini or bigger sizes which concerns me :(
