Breast Pumping Mamas

I want to transition from breastfeeding to pumping but how do I start? At the moment my baby seems to feed all the time so I don’t know when I’m supposed to pump? And how do I get a full bottle worth? Whenever I’ve tried in the past I’ve got 1-3oz. I’ve got a Spectra S1 so I do have a good pump and I’ve got the right size flanges etc

My baby is going for his first sleepover, he has been doing great with the transition from breast to bottle. I have managed to build up a supply of breast milk which is in my freezer. I am looking for advice on how I can transport this safely as I’m becoming worried it may begin to defrost on then journey. They are only a 20-30 minute drive away. I have a freezer bag and I’m going to be placing freezer blocks within this. Is this enough to keep the milk frozen? TIA x

Hi! I’m starting to look at pumps before my little one arrives in a couple of months, I’ve narrowed it down (potentially) to the Pipetta LED wearable pump or Momcozy M5, does anyone have any experience with either or any other recommendations? ❤️

Been discharged today after spending a week in hospital and whilst I was there I was using their breast pump and it’s the only pump I have felt empty and not engorged with.

When pumping do you have to sterilise the pump after each use? Seems excessive if I’m pumping 8 times a day! Can I sterilise once a day then just use hot water to rinse in between? (Exclusive pumping) thanks!
