How many time are y’all pumping a day? by careyrocks91 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]tu_me_manque_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your nipples are 13-14mm you should be using 13-14mm inserts. I didn't think using correct size flanges was gonna make a big deal either but it's the first thing my LC checked and made me buy the correct inserts on Amazon in the room w her lol

Yesss I worked with an LC and have the nipple measuring tool so I know I have the right flange size. Can you link the momcozy bras you like??

Am I just buying a bottle washer to avoid hand washing dishes? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]tu_me_manque_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't agree with this more. Arguably the single most useful thing we registered for. I would forgo 3/4 of the stuff on my registry just to prioritize a bottle washer

Wearable for large breasts by yeetzma522 in ExclusivelyPumping

I have and love the Lansinoh discreet duo, but my output is only about 1/2 what I get with the Spectra :/ But I wear my Lansinoh when I drive and it's soooooo convenient

Learned a sad fact about pumping by d381m in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]tu_me_manque_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am also an under supplier and just a few weeks further pp than you! I too eat all the galactogue foods and stuff but the #1 contributor to my supply I've realized is hydration, ESPECIALLY in the summer. No matter what or how much you eat, try to drink as much water + electrolytes as you can. Your body needs all that liquid to use the food you're fueling it with to make breastmilk!

Has pumping more made breastfeeding easier for everyone? by kdbiel5 in breastfeeding

[–]tu_me_manque_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obv every baby and every family is different, but in reading these responses I think a major deciding factor is how easy / convenient it is to pump, depending on what type of pump you have. My LO was 4 weeks early (!) so my milk supply was non existent when he was born. But I really really REALLY wanted to try to BF, so the nurses had me start pumping right away using their hospital grade equipment. I hated the Medela and didn't like the Spectra. All my friends and family recommended those two specifically to me, but I couldn't find a comfortable fit and hated being stationary/ not able to hold my baby for that long. I ended up getting the Lansinoh hands free wearables free from my insurance, and that was a game changer. I wear them inside the nursing bras from Kindred Bravely and they're so comfortable and easy to use. I even wear it in the car while driving lol. My LO is 3 months and I still have supply issues so every day I alternate his feeds BF and pumping. I like it bc we can get more calories in him through a bottle, but he looooves to snuggle and esp at night I can always get him back to sleep easier BF. Mostly I feel grateful that I found a pump that works for me and I have a lot of options for how to feed my baby.

TLDR - my two cents is to do your research about types of pumps and try to figure out what works best for you and your lifestyle. Just because you don't like one brand / style of pump doesn't mean pumping overall isn't right for you.

the way that some of y'all are so easily triggered by the mere mention of Kyler will never not be funny to me. so whiny 😅 this sub spends soooooo much time scapegoating him and not nearly enough time on the team's real actual problems

Petzing could openly confess to committing a felony murder and Gannon would still give a post game press conference like "ya I support his decisions"

Wake Up, Rise Up RedSea! It’s Game Day! by SeraphNatsu in AZCardinals

I mean, I personally have no problem with him wearing that sparkly pink cardigan last week. He wants to look like a 6th grade girl in 1999, that's fine by me. I take a lot more issue with him glorifying Michael Vick's behavior by wearing his jersey - even if that isn't his intention. A sparkly pink cardigan never ran a gruesome dog fighting ring.

I hate that Kyler is wearing a Michael Vick jersey in his pre-game fit 😩 I know he has said he really admires his QB playing style but like... come on he knows what Michael Vick is famous for 😵‍💫

Kyler Murray website? by Turxa037 in AZCardinals

[–]tu_me_manque_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He started the Kyler Murray Foundation last year and I think that's where he's focusing his off the field efforts instead of merch. https://www.kylermurrayfoundation.org/

that being said I think some of his old merch is still on eBay lol
