I have a question.
I recently got an electric breast pump to slowly wean Amiya off the boobs. But I want to know what I would need to do in order to take bottles of breastmilk with me outside.
Basically I want to be able to give her bottles of breastmilk while we're on the go rather than nurse (i'll nurse when it gets out of hand lol)
Do I need to have a mini cooler to keep the milk fresh? Please help ❤🙋
If I know I'm going to be out for awhile I'll take 2 bottles. Keep one in the diaper bag so it'll be at room temp, and the other in a insulated lunch bag with ice packs. Room temp bottles are good for 6hrs.
Mini cooler and you can even use a hand pump if you want it fresh
use a cooler and if no way to heat up take it out about an hour or so before u know baby will eat so it'll get to room temperature.
I use an insulated lunch bag with frozen packs. The hard part then is heating it up on the go.
@ehq, thanks! I'll try it out when I get one 😂 hopefully I can get a routine going!
I'm reading reviews on bottles && getting a little worried. . I didn't know baby's have to "latch" on to a bottle.. I thought a bottle was a bottle.. I got the avent bottles that I really wanted && someone also gave me the mam bottled. I want to buy more avent because I only have 10 bottles total. but I don't want to buy it && the baby rejects it. what do you guys think?
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Question 🙋🏽♀️: what age do you allow your kids to have a cell phone?
My son wants a phone and I don’t know why lol. I’m like you have a iPad for games and anyone you need to call you can have my phone.
Do I really need a :
- Diaper genie
- wipe warmer
- bottle warmer
- lanolin nipple cream
- bottle sterilizer
Any breastfeeding mamas that can give me some insight on it? How does it feel when you first start? This is my first baby. I want to do breastmilk for sure but not sure if I want to do skin to skin. I'm kind of leaning towards just pumping and bottle feeding him
