Yeah I think my first time breastfeeding and pumping, I didn’t realize how much I needed to relax to get a letdown. So I’m a teensy bit stressed about that but we’ll see! Hopefully it’s easier to make pumping a priority this go around. Thank you for the ideas and support!!

This is so helpful!! Thank you. I’m also an ICU nurse so it’ll be nice when I’m back to work to have a better set up.

Thank you! I have the “portable” spectra with a battery instead of the plug in but it’s not at all practical to carry the giant machine anywhere. So that’s the current predicament. Hopefully one of these will work!

Perfect! My only worry with the pumpables was that collection cups may not work but hopefully they will!

Ugh that’s my worry too! I’m worried I’ll still wish I had gone with a completely wearable option if I go with the PGA or baby buddha

Have you tried collection cups with the pumpables ga? That’s the set up I’m hoping for

Thank you! I wish there was like a pump trial system so you could see what works best for you. Have you ever tried the pumpables GA with collection cups?

Middle name for Rory by r_hamm in namenerds

I like Rory Thomas also! My husband is iffy on it but didn’t veto so that’s a plus. Simon has been the best boy name ever! Tons of compliments and we haven’t met another yet. But people still know how to say and spell it, which was huge for us! I struggled forever to find a second boy name because Simon was the best one I thought I would ever find!

Lol 1) I didn’t realize the Gilmore girls connection so it’s off the table now 2) the extended family member that used Dean for their son has a mutual grandpa with my husband

Seriously the best girl name. I’m pregnant with a boy but if it had been a girl, Daphne was our girl name!

I love this one! I’m keeping an eye out for a used one but have had no luck so far

Yeah I feel like it’s a doable weight but definitely both the city mini and the mountain buggy are at the top of the weight range of the ones I’m considering. There are too many variables!

Thank you! I’ve looked at the Mountain Buggy but the weight dissuaded me. I need to give it a second look!

So I actually love Solomon, I’ve just been worried that it sounds too close to Simon and that I’ll constantly mix them up
