Pumping Mothers

[Bini]

You're blonde now!  I tried to bleach my hair and it got so dry it was like a Filipino broom.

 

Congratulations on a much more relax post-pregnancy!  That's awesome news to hear.  So what pump did you end up with?

 

It looks platinum blonde but it's not really. It's more of that cotton candy hue. And thank you! As for the pumping situation, long story super short, I ended up exclusively breastfeeding shortly after I made this thread. (No more pumping or bottles.) So post my son's 2.5 week milestone, he's only had mama's breast, and while I thought it'd be super challenging to commit to - it's been a great experience for us :)

Now there's even more good news!!!

On behalf of those of us of the male persuasion, I officially thank all females.  Whether you pump, just feed, use formula with bottles, or do not have children, but still put up with all the extra details of female living...you deserve kudos and honor.

I'm so happy everything is going well for you, Bini!

I keep meaning to get a nice Medula, but my old Avent pump still works great and it looks like I can pump within the parameters of the recess time frame no problem.
