@teachermomtob, He's only getting about 2 ounces from me so she showed me the SNS system and I love it. It will really help with cutting down on feeding time and now I'm more confident with how much to offer in a bottle.

do you nurse on both sides every feed? If not, keep nursing on that side at the start of each feed before switching to the other side. Pump for a few minutes on that side after your breast is empty to increase supply. Feed baby before they cry for milk.

We’re still breast feeding but I do not pump. We feed about 3-4 times a day and none over night. My supply has gone down but it’s still very much there. They can take regular milk at one so I wouldn’t increase your supply! Just let nature run its course and follow your baby and bodies cues

I AN NOT TALKING ABOUT EXCLUSIVELY BREAST FEEDING Second baby due pretty soon. Has anybody simply breastfed their baby, and used formula to fill in the gaps so they didn’t have to pump? It feels like pumping is so standardized in America but man I’m dreading having to go through all that again. Anybody know success stories of BF babies whose moms didn’t pump? submitted by /u/Partners_in_time to r/beyondthebump [link] [comments]

Randomly this video came up on my feed about the same breast pump that Fran had “tested” out. Well if you watch this and watch here, guess which one is better? Which one describes the pump better? Which one is less performative and doesn’t exploit their children in it?! Also how come Fran never has to advertise that it’s an ad while this one actually says it’s an ad?! submitted by /u/Safe-Leadership4190 to r/ffargosnark [link] [comments]

I (f21) had my baby a little over a year ago and stop breast feeding about a month ago. I was an extreme over producer making an extra 200 ounces of milk everyday. So I had spent a lot of money on getting a nice medical pump that wouldn’t give out on me after a couple uses. My older sister is getting ready to have her baby in a couple months and my father had asked me if I would give her my pump. After a couple weeks of thinking about it I told him no. He asked why and I went on to explain that my older sister didn’t even try to have a relationship with me even after I’ve reached out and have checked on her throughout our entire lives. I told him when my daughter was in and out of the hospital for months on end because of her epilepsy and her seizures just getting worse and worse that my sister hadn’t even reached out once asking how her niece was doing. And how she never reached out through my entire pregnancy no matter how much I tried to talk to her. I was told I was being immature but I don’t feel like I am. I just don’t think I should give her my pumps after she hasn’t even tried having a relationship with me. I already gave her my daughter’s old bassinet, some old clothes, and a couple of other baby things. I feel like I have every right to say no when my sister puts no effort into our relationship. But I started thinking maybe I was wrong to say no so am I wrong for not wanting to give my sister my breast pump. submitted by /u/Stock_Sun4958 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Please help me decide which one is the best. My goal is to breast feed my son for at least a year. I will return to work at 3.5-4 months. I saw another post and so many people advocated for the spectra. Any insight would be greatly appreciated 💖 submitted by /u/Dacshundlover2579 to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]

I returned to work 4 months ago after maternity leave. I pump twice a day using the office lactation room and bring my own breast pump and parts. Yesterday, my coworker's pump broke and she asked if she could borrow my pump parts (the pieces that come into contact with milk) since we use the same model. I said no and explained that sharing those parts isn't hygienic (I assume she knows this). She got upset and said I was being selfish. She said she just needed them for a few days until her replacement parts arrived and couldn't understand why I wouldn't help her out. I offered to help her contact HR about emergency pump part replacement or look into overnight shipping options. But I held firm that I wouldn't share parts that come into contact with breast milk, even if they're sterilized. submitted by /u/Surcy-Valesius to r/AmITheJerk [link] [comments]

Hi, I am expecting my first baby in September and have zero idea what breast pump to choose! There are few options through my insurance, but share your opinion on those items. I do have hands-free mom cozy breast pump from my friend. https://preview.redd.it/hobhcz7hoagf1.png?width=1466&format=png&auto=webp&s=88dff01f35df445284d5a77482d7a3030971cc40 https://preview.redd.it/2qjpq7ljoagf1.png?width=1452&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab33e44f11c9183ebc189f0ab99c096275e2f394 https://preview.redd.it/vlss719moagf1.png?width=1412&format=png&auto=webp&s=a978414c246c3c7a7cca3c4cd844d9db426ca9b7 submitted by /u/kangyj315 to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

My baby is 3 months and I just breastfeed her on demand for about 5 minutes each feed. She is gaining weight and is healthy but I keep seeing these pumping moms on social media and people saying they breast feed for 20 minutes. Anyone like me? submitted by /u/Diankapie to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

(M30)So recently my wife (f30) went through surrogacy she was the host carrying for the parents. The parents have been using her breast milk for the baby so she has been pumping for them. We have kids of our own and I have never found it attractive. Now, all of a sudden it’s all I can think about. Watching it makes me want to do some things that I would never have thought of before. I have slightly expressed this to her letting her know I’m finding it hard to focus during the day because all I can think about is her. She seems understanding but it’s hard to fully express what I want to do. This is even hard to type. I feel weird even thinking about it. I almost regret bringing it up to her but I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m not sure what to do! submitted by /u/Plane_Dependent_1016 to r/Advice [link] [comments]

Funny anecdote: when I was discussing with my husband whether to get a breast pump through my insurance or just buying one he said “Well I think it’s better to wait after you give birth, right?” I was like “I think we should get it now” then he said “Don’t you need recovery time for that though?” y’all… he thought a breast pump is a boob job 😭 but anyway, has anyone done that? I was checking out a website to order one for free with just a prescription from your OBGYN but I’m not sure it’s legit submitted by /u/bunny10310325 to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

Anyone have any clues? submitted by /u/UnknownAristocracy to r/GrandmasPantry [link] [comments]

I'm currently 33w3d with my first and have been researching breast pumps. However the more I read the more it seems like some work well for some people and not for others, and it's more about personal fit. Neither my or my husband's insurance will cover a pump, so I'm purchasing out of pocket and would rather not buy multiple if I can help it. I find often with purchases like these once I buy the thing and have it I realize factors I hadn't considered when purchasing. So what do you wish you knew before buying a pump? submitted by /u/Supergirl306 to r/BabyBumpsCanada [link] [comments]

I am livid, and I would like to rant and see if anyone has ever encountered this degree of pettiness working in healthcare. Background: I have a 6 month old baby at home that is fully breastfed. I work in a PCU in the south with shifts from 7-7. So today, I am called upon by our director and unit manager to “have a discussion, but you’re not in trouble”. Okay, well still, I’m an anxious mess, because whatever could be so serious and wrong? I am told that I am no longer permitted to pump in the break room as I make other employees uncomfortable and it is a shared area and unfair to others. Well, ok. This has been ongoing for 6 MONTHS but NOW people want to complain. Fine, whatever. So they tell me they need to find me a place to go that meets the standards of labor laws that permits me to still pump in a timely manner. Guess what? That place doesn’t exist. I am being told that I must walk across the hospital to occupational health that is only open M-F 8-4 in order to pump, and that there have been concerns about how long I’m taking and how often I’m going. Uhm, ok, so what are the concerns? For reference, I TRY to go because obviously nursing and I’m busy, 9 AM 20 min,12 PM 30 min to eat lunch too, 3 PM for 20 min, 5 PM for 10 min because working fucks with my supply. My coworkers have been complaining and telling my director I leave for 30 minutes to one hour breaks each time I go and fail to return to the unit in a timely manner. IN WHAT WORLD COULD I BE GONE FOR 3-4 HOURS A SHIFT AND STILL GET MY WORK DONE. So in order to prove their point, they have been spying on me and recording the times I take and how long I leave and return from the unit in order to report it without my knowledge. However, with this also being done I have also found out from the grapevine, that there are times they “forget to check the time I leave and come back and have made up times to report”. When I disputed this with the fact that my pump carries a timer, and I always am sure to promptly return to work, I was met with “buts” and “they saids” and the understanding that the director doesn’t believe what I have to say about it. You guys, what the actual fuck is going on. I’m finding all of this out today and I’m PISSED. I literally do my best to help others, be a good nurse, employee, coworker, but after hearing how micromanaged I am being without my knowledge, I seriously am fuckin livid. I guess what hurts me most is I try to be nice and get along with everyone, and I just feel people want to stab me for no reason. So my questions are… Has anyone encountered this degree of pettiness in healthcare? Is it even worth me looking for another job as I’d just encounter this somewhere else? This is my first nursing job, so is this toxicity just a norm everywhere submitted by /u/kiwi_fatz to r/nursing [link] [comments]

I had a college test yesterday and shortly after starting I kept hearing a continuous sound right behind me, like a repeated tapping about every 3 seconds. At first I just attempted to ignore it and figured someone was tapping heavily on their computer’s keyboard over and over out of anxiety, but it was very noticeable in the otherwise quiet environment. After about 10 minutes, I noticed other people in the room looking around and I figured they were also probably trying to figure out what the noise was. One lady across the room made eye contact with me with a questioning look as if to say “what in the hell is that?” I shook my head to let her know I had no idea. The professor noticed the other student looking over at me, and the student pointed in my direction so I think the professor must have thought I had a question or was trying to get her attention, so I slightly raised my hand and she came right over. I quietly told her I wasn’t sure what this “tapping” sound was but it seemed like people were becoming distracted by it. She asked, “is it me making the sound at my desk?” which confused me because this wasn’t a subtle noise and of course I knew it wasn’t her. So I said no, and motioned behind me to show her where I was talking about. She said “I understand” and went to the student behind me and I didn’t hear what was said, but the noise stopped after that. So whatever, I just moved on with my exam. After the test, I learned the student behind me had been using an electric breast pump during the test. Someone from my class told me I should apologize to that lady at once because she likely had suffered physical issues due to my actions and that her whole pumping schedule was probably messed up now, and said this woman likely hates me now because of the pain she must have endured due to me. I just responded that I had no idea of what was going on so I surely couldn’t be at fault for that. Should I have just not said anything? It is very hard for me to focus while listening to distracting sounds, especially in a pattern, and I may be more sensitive to this than others. I very much support people’s right to have accommodations to pump as needed but when it’s becoming a noisy distraction to the rest I can’t help but feel other arrangements would be reasonable? And was I wrong to say something to the professor even though I had no idea of what was happening? submitted by /u/TJW350658 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Both my husband and I are originally from Asia and his parents still live there while we live in the western world. I am 28 weeks pregnant (starting my 3rd trimester) and put together a baby registry of things we will need when the baby comes. This includes a breast pump which i didn’t see as an issue or embarrassing to put on the list as it is the way I am planning to feed the baby. After I shared the list with my MIL she sent me a message asking to duplicate the list/ sent her an updated one without the pump as she wanted to share the registry on. I was annoyed with the ask and didn’t reply as (1) I don’t think the breast pump is inappropriate (2) it costs £50+ so it would be helpful is someone bought it and (3) if I duplicated the list then I would probably get doubles of everything. She then called me to ask to remove the item as she thought it was embarrassing and wanted to share the registry. I simply told her if you think there are inappropriate items on the registry then don’t share the list. She said “no, you don’t understand and I think it’s because you’ve grown up in the west. So I am trying to explain it to you ..” I told her I understood and she didn’t have to share it on, if people want to get us a gift they can buy clothes. We hung up the phone. She called back 10 min later and said “I’m really upset with you..” and we basically had the conversation above for a second time. I later received a call from my mother saying that my MIL called her crying (with tears) because I gave her attitude about removing the inappropriate items from the baby registry. My MIL said something to the effect of she (ie.me) needs to watch her attitude if she thinks she is tired and hormonal now, it will get much worse when the baby comes and she needs to keep her attitude in control. I am fuming, because she initially saw the registry and told DH there are no big ticket items on here. Ie. She didn’t even want to use the list and asked him to send links to other things like the car seat that wasn’t on the list. So why she make such a big deal about this registry when she didn’t even want to use it. And was it really necessary to call my mom crying? DH told me he understands both sides and his mom was just trying to be helpful by sharing the registry. He also told me I escalated the issue with my reaction. He ended up buying the pump and removed it from the list. His parents are planning to come visit with the baby comes and I don’t know if I can deal with more trivial unnecessary drama when I’m going to be so sleep deprived. submitted by /u/bellnerd to r/JUSTNOMIL [link] [comments]

The title pretty much says it all. Today, after eating a large Thanksgiving meal and partaking in two glasses of wine, I decided to pump and dump. I retreated to an upstairs bedroom, set myself up, and started pumping. The fateful combination of baby-induced sleep deprivation, copious carbs, and wine left me feeling...drowsy. As I sat in the rocking chair waiting for the pump to do it's thing I felt myself nodding off. I figured I would doze for a few minutes while I finished pumping and then return to the (Covid-compliant) family gathering in a timely manner. No such luck. I awoke over an hour later, clueless as to the length of my slumber, with nipples the size of wine corks emitting sad puffs of dust with each cycle of the pump. Hours later it still feels as though satan himself tried to suck my soul out through my nipples. On the plus side, my otherwise latch-struggling baby has had no problems nursing since my nipples grew 3 sizes today. TL;DR: fell asleep pumping breastmilk, woke up with giant painful nipples. ETA: If you're breastfeeding or pumping and do decide to imbibe, please be aware that pumping and dumping does not lower the alcohol content in your milk. I pumped and dumped to relieve discomfort, but only time can remove alcohol from your breastmilk. It metabolizes out, and generally takes 2-3 hours per beverage consumed. submitted by /u/CharmingSprinkles to r/tifu [link] [comments]
