Any Breastpump recomment?

I want to buy a breast pump to help relieve the breast pain caused by engorgement, but Spectra is too expensive. Are there any other brands you would recommend?

Jevonbaby not bad.

Breast painful😔

Lately my breasts have started to feel really engorged and painful, and it’s been so uncomfortable. I heard that using a breast pump can help relieve the pain and also prevent clogged ducts. I’m thinking about getting one, but there are so many brands out there and I’m a bit overwhelmed 😅. Mamas, could you share your experience? Which brand of breast pump do you think is the most cost-effective? Is it comfortable to use and easy to clean? I really hope to find one that’s practical without being too expensive.

I had trouble keeping my Baby Express hands-free set in the right position, and would spend 20 minutes only to realize that not a single drop of bm was pumped! i also find the tiny parts tedious to wash and assemble. I am using Spectra Compact and have no complaints with it. I experienced pain in my breasts when I was pumping exclusively though, but should be fine if you are using it once in a while. agree with LB that flange size is important. should be the size of your nipple (not areola), plus an additional few mm as buffer. as for clogged ducts, you might also want to standby lecithin to thin out the milk fats in case the pump you eventually buy could not clear them well.

Almost Can’t Sleep

Baby is almost 1 month old and nights are SO tough. He wakes up every 2 hours like clockwork and sometimes refuses to go back to sleep unless I hold him. My husband did a lot but still tired. I feel like a zombie at this point 😵. How do you moms manage night wakings? Does it ever get better?

My experience with all my newborns is that they will fell asleep right after breastfeeding. Yours is after feeding he needs to be carried and rocked to sleep is it?

tired of parenting

Ever since my little one arrived, my whole day feels like a blur of feeding, changing, burping, and rocking. By the time I sit down, it’s usually time to start all over again 😅. I didn’t realise how hard it would be to even find 10 minutes just for myself — sometimes I can’t even finish a cup of tea while it’s still hot! I’m curious, how do you carve out those little pockets of “me time” in your day? Even if it’s just a few minutes, what do you like to do that helps you recharge — a quick shower, scrolling your phone, a short walk, or something else? Would love to hear your tips so I can try them too. 💛

I don't think it's enough to recharge during the time baby is sleeping.. Because there are so many things to do, especially if the baby is still young. If you are doing this alone, do get help if possible..

My baby girl is 2 weeks old and wakes up every hour at night 😭.

I’m not sure if this is normal or if I should try to stretch her feeds? Any tips on how to help her sleep longer without stressing her out?

normal, the feeding hour will increase after 2, months old
