Currently 34w pregnant and plan on combo feeding bottle/breast. So glad that I have a trusted creator on here who I can go to for these types of videos. Keep them coming! ❤️

It’s sad the we have a “fed is best” culture that denies the reality that breast milk is the best thing to feed our babies. Yes some people have circumstances that prevent them from producing milk but it doesn’t mean the science changes. That you for saying the truth and encouraging others on their breastfeeding journey. (To me pumping is also breastfeeding b/c it’s breast milk). It’s not an easy task but man is it worth it!

I love the skin to skin idea. I haven't heard that talked about before to transfer the "data" between baby and mama, but it totally makes sense.

I exclusively pumped with both my sons. I got the Elvie's after your last pumping video w/ your code. Between the Elvie's & vitamins I took from Pink Stork I pumped over 50oz a day. I loved being able to pump anywhere. I went to concerts, holiday parties, movies, and even on planes w/ my pumps. It was crazy how convenient they were.

I'm glad you mentioned TikTok! I had no clue you were on there :)

What size are your insert flanges? Would your hack still work with a larger flange size?

Currently exclusively breastfeeding my 6 month old. 6 months going strong, I only breastfed my first for 3 months and had no clue about pumping then. Starting to pump now, thanks for this video!

I only pumped for my daugter too right away. That’s what I was most comfortable with ❤
