How do you schedule your pumping when looking after baby ?
Hi all,
Baby is 3 weeks tomorrow and my husband went back to work today after 2 weeks paternity leave. While he was home he'd take the baby so I could pump if he was awake, however I'm struggling today without him. I've already missed 2 pump windows by hours because little man wouldn't go down to sleep and was being fuzzy.
I have the medela freestyle, and while hands free I can't really hold the baby while wearing it or lift him. Looking for advice on how you organise your pumping schedule while solo caring for your baby?
EDIT : so seems the best way to handle this is to get some kind of swing or bouncer for the baby to entertain them in while awake, and invest in wearables. I ordered the wearable collection cups for my modela so I'll see if that helps and maybe invest in a completely "wearable" pump like the momcoz. Thanks for all the advice, also nice to know I'm not the only person facing this dilemma and figuring it out one day at a time
