I’m an exclusive pumper too & Coconut oil is what I use for “nipple cream”.. organic of course lol and it helps a lot! I got sooo sore from willow pump and this really helps and an added bonus is that coconut oil is a natural antibacterial! So that’s good for you and baby!

You are doing such a good job! I pumped at work and totally agree w/ all of your tips especially the pumping bra (a must!) and Lansinoh bags. I pumped directly into the bag one time and the milk totally spilled and that was enough for me to pump only into containers going forward! (Yes, you can cry over spilled milk if it’s breast milk!) Then I would empty containers into bags (and write how much on outside, like you!) and freeze them flat. You are so hard working. Go, you! ❤️

Do you use a specific bottle warmer? When you store your milk in the fridge for daily feedings do you feed it cold or warm? Unsure if I should be investing a bottle warmer, ice just been using hot water from my sink
@kanchidoshi69075 жыл бұрын
Hi, I have been following you and I must say it has been really really helpful. Have few questions if you can answer 1. What bottles do you use for feeding? I tried using Spectra but they make my baby gassy I guess. 2. How do you warm the mill bottles? How long do you keep milk outside of fridge to feed your baby. 3. Can you also post a video how you use Medela part with Spectra pump?
@lovelylildragon5 жыл бұрын
breastmilk should never be microwaved...put the bottle/bag in a bowl of warm (not super hot) water. there are little adapters you can buy on amazon that let you use medela parts with the spectra! also the bottles they come with arent anti colic so that could cause gas. a lot of avent bottles (they make anti colic ones) fit on the spectra flanges!

I would love to see a comparison between pumps too! I have a few months before I can order one through insurance and new to breastfeeding. I plan to exclusively pump and not sure which pump will meet my needs better. I plan to pump at work too but I also drive for work so need something that is portable. Thanks 😊
@lovelylildragon5 жыл бұрын
ive tried almost all the pumps and the spectra pumps are the best rated for a reason. the medela pumps are just so outdated and a lot arent closed systems so milk and such can get into pump parts and cause mold. you can adjust the suction and speed on spectras which u cannot with medela.

I'm loving this series Ale! I don't have any children yet, but I always thought that once I do have my own, that I'd 100% breastfeed. Then one night I had a strange dream about me giving birth and breastfeeding and it instantly put my opinion into question. I thought that the only other option was to formula-feed, but that didn't sit right either. I had honestly never even thought of pumping as no one I know had ever done it. However, after watching your videos, I can see that there is an alternative that can work well. Thanks Ale and keep up the good work!

I use a Spectra S1 and the manual says only to sterilise when the parts are new, then you can just wash them once daily but store the parts in the fridge between pumps. Might save you some time.

Hi im a new mother with my first born its been 3 weeks since i gave birth , i purchased a hand pump until i decide between the medela vs spectra and seems like my milk is really low like 1 oz an hour with the hand pump . Which pump do you prefer im not sure if you had a hard time at the beginning with your flow. I hope you can reply as soon as you can so I can order my pump today because my newborn is underweight. Thankyou

What’s the difference between using the sanitizing bags vs boiling or using a glass container in the microwave? Seems like a waste of plastic?
@heartlane13234 жыл бұрын
You can use the sanitizing bags up to 20 times. They are a lot easier to use than boiling your parts in a pot of water. It's faster, as well.

Hi alia, Thanks for tour good videos.. I’m an exclusively breastfeeding mum, but I do also pump when baby finished eating and is sleeping. Now I have the feeling that I might be pregnant again. I’m worried that maybe my milk supply is going to drop. I have a little stash in my freezer but it’s only for 4/5 days. My baby is now almost 7 months. What can you advise my please? I don’t want to use formula. Thanks in advance. -Mom from Holland
@lovelylildragon5 жыл бұрын
i used the sanitizing bags but honestly i think its SO much better and saves money to get one of the regular bottle sanitizers. i used the bags at first but they warped some of my nipples even when i used them properly! i have the normal circle avent sanitizer and its inexpensive (like $20) and fits more stuff so also saves time (and money). i think the bags are so wasteful since they only last a certain amount of uses
