Feeding
Hi Everyone!
Just looking for a little advice, i have decided once little one is here i am going to Combi feed but express my breast milk and not feed directly from the boob so partner can be involved in feeding this too!
does anyone have any tips, and can anyone recommend a breast pump please! x

Defo invest in a good wearable pump. I used a mains connected one with my first and just felt like a prisoner! Apologies I can’t recommend one but also your supply is best during the early hours so annoying as it is, you may need to do a pump during the night x
@Em I second this. I exclusively pumped for 7 months and it was SOOOO hard. Baby was sleeping through the night and I was setting alarms every 3 hours to pump.
@Kate wow, 7 months?! I managed 6 weeks and that was enough for me

I found medela pumps are good. I will say (sorry to be negative) that exclusively pumping is really hard work. To keep your supply up you’ll need to pump every 2-3 hours (even through the night). Is it worth you considering breast feeding but maybe just pumping once/twice a day so your partner can help feed?
