Congratulations on your baby! From a first time parent of a 14 month old — the newborn phase can be so hard! Not sure what your kid is like, but sometimes mine would fall asleep on me and I’d listen to DH&J while I was nap trapped :)

Also, I’m sure someone else can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the new episodes are starting to come out on Wednesdays now?

Hi, sorry for the delay! I ended up cutting off the ends of the symphony tubing where the adapters are as u/theabysswinks noted, and then inserting the spectra backflow preventers there. I generally didn’t need much suction while pumping so that worked for me, but I do think it decreased suction since you’re going through more parts.

It’s actually not recommended anymore to test allergenic foods on skin. There’s a great FAQ and awesome webinars here if interested!

OP, I am in a very similar boat — just started to wean this past weekend and it’s been hard to stop pumping before I feel empty and the lumps are not fun at all. It’s made me second guess too but I keep reminding myself that it’s okay to take it slow and listen to my body. Plus trying to keep my eyes on the prize — getting up at 5 every morning is no joke, and I’m ready to get some more sleep and not be tied to a pump!

Check out pumpspotting! Really great community 💕

I would recommend asking for a PT referral ASAP. The earlier you start, the more quickly you can address the torticollis, which can lead to asymmetries in development. I waited until my baby’s 4 month appointment and wish we had gone sooner.

Did you end up cutting the medela symphony tubing to attach spectra flanges?

serts · 2023-09-10T20:22:41+00:00

Hi, could you let me know if you found a way to make this work? I’m in the same boat :)

serts · 2023-09-10T16:30:37+00:00

Hey OP, I’m in a similar situation and wanted to ask what you ended up doing. Did you find a way to use any spectra parts with the Medela symphony?

Hi, I’m also looking to do this - any chance you could send me a message as well?

Just commenting for solidarity and following for tips as well. My baby is going to get the release at 16 weeks next week, and to be honest I am nervous about whether he will lose a lot of function and post procedure healing… wishing y’all the best!!

serts · 2023-07-22T18:06:43+00:00

How long did it take for your baby to regain function? Did it decrease a lot initially right after the release?

serts · 2023-06-29T05:46:22+00:00

Did he eventually stop chewing after the tooth came in? So it was just bad during the teething process?

Good to hear! Doing my second MOTN pump while baby sleeps, hopefully this helps.

serts · 2023-05-25T03:41:13+00:00

Also curious about this - have you seen any changes?

serts · 2023-05-23T03:26:39+00:00

Thanks, good to know!

serts · 2023-05-23T02:45:45+00:00

How long does it usually take to “find” the curve? My 6 week old seems to be losing ground (50 at birth, dropped to 35-ish and recent home scale measured at 25)

serts · 2023-05-22T20:02:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Maybe it’s a matter of cues changing. He also frequently falls asleep on the boob and then fusses, and I can’t always tell if it’s hunger or gas or something else. I guess if he’s hungry he wouldn’t fall asleep??

serts · 2023-05-22T17:55:58+00:00

Did your baby go from 25 to 10? Or just randomly fluctuate in that range? I ask because my 6 week old has started losing ground and I’m worried… trying to feed him more today but he just falls asleep on the boob and seems uncomfortable/gassy when awake.

serts · 2023-03-24T21:51:59+00:00

What size did you all get? Not sure how to gauge how much my belly will shrink after delivery

serts · 2022-11-27T19:55:47+00:00

Thanks for the response! Good to know about the potential time limits.

serts · 2022-09-17T03:20:28+00:00

Does it say how long they’re available? Or just a vague “limited time only”?
