#pumping

I have been pumping for about 2 months. Recently, I pump for 5mins and subsequently very little or no milk flow out when I pump. Breast becomes soft already. Any one has encountered this before? Any solutions/advice to share? #pumping

Wearable pump for pumping at work

Hi mummies! For milk collection at work, would you recommend getting: (1) a proper wearable pump (e.g imani, be free etc), OR (2) a wearable collection cup (e.g. youha collection cups - see image below) to connect to your traditional hospital grade pump such as spectra/medela? Am wondering if the 2nd option will be more efficient at milk collection but potentially more cumbersome? Would appreciate any advice and brand recommendations as well! Thanks! :) #FTM #pumping

Sleeping with LO

Hi all! I’m a FTM here and I’m planning to sleep with my LO once my confinement nanny leaves. However I’m afraid that when I pump at night my baby will “smell” my milk and wake up. Does this happens? Because I once tried to pump next to her in the afternoon while she was asleep and she woke up screaming for milk. #advicepls #1stimemom #pleasehelp #firstbaby #breastfeed #pumping TIA! appreciate it mommies

Super Mum

Newborns have a strong sense of smell and know the unique scent of your breastmilk. That is why your baby will turn his or her head to you when he or she is hungry. Incredible facts.

When we start producing milk?

Hi mummies, please advice me as a first time mom when we start producing milk. I am 23 weeks now. There are changes in the size of my breasts and nipple. I heard after you give birth then youll start producing but at the same time youll able to start pumping beforehand. I am doubting my ability to produce milk too so i need some assurance 🥹 #firsttimemom #pumping #milk

Currently your breasts are filling up with milk but if you wanna collect (colostrum), best to wait till after week 37 as it can trigger unwanted early labour. Unless you’re blessed with super good supply, else usually at the start, the supply is low but don’t doubt yourself. It took me one month before I could pump just enough for my baby every feed, subsequently, my supply went up over the months and I managed to have my own spare stash too! Just remember after you give birth, eat/drink well, rest well and most importantly don’t stress as it can affect your supply. Pump/latch frequently and do not skip sessions even when baby sleeps past feeding time. 😊

Any recommendations to any breast pump at work

Hi Mommies, I'm using Philps Avent at home. Soon I will need to return to work. I bought Jevon Baby Pump but it's not working for me can any one suggest a good pump wearable at work with good suction #firstmom #pumping

I used the Spectra S1 and loved the suction, so was looking the same. I bought the Cubble (available on Shopee) under friend’s recommendation that it has the same yield as the Spectra. And she is absolutely right! Plus the suction is pretty strong too, at least for me, and not expensive (2 pumps for ~$140)
