Tia, what's wrong with the Swing?

My babies must not be wrigglers or I can wrap em tight

Ladybird, I used to freeze baby bol with the pasta in it and it was fine. Patsa won't freeze dry but in a sauce it's good. Make the sauce a bit more runny than usual though.

Good strange or bad strange? You ok?

You can be leader of the gummy baby club then!


Just general 'can't be ar5ed' strange! And everyone's annoying me atm so it's probably good i'm home alone (apart from children - but they're in bed, and not included in the annoying me bit!)

It's got wimpy suction My mini electric is a lot more powerful, doesn't have the let down and the control is a bit more fiddly and its louder, but have to say the swing isn't all that I thought it would be

We did. Towards the end I had to wake DH to swaddle her as I couldn't wrap her tight enough. THink I'd have resorted to using a cot blanket to double-wrap her if I wasn't worried about her being too hot!

I've tried this for tonight...

Oh, if I made up some baby spag bol or something, can I freeze the pasta? I assume you can, seeing as you can for microwave melas and whatnot, but anyone done it?

I make batches of spag bol and freeze for OH lunches, the pasta soaks up some of the sauce when re-heated so goes softer - might be ideals for babbas

I agree-ish.. I've only used TT CTN hand pump, and Medela Swing and Symphony and I prefer the Symphony - the Swing has "wimpy" section compared to that I didn't think the Swing was as great as it's made out to be, but then I was rather pampered with the Symphony's industrial strength! ETA: I did think it might be the difference in the "horn" that made the difference to me tho' - I didn't like the SoftFit one which came with the Swing.

Oh, just thought, shall I tell Bizzie Babies I'm almost exclusively expressing? Could get a whole heap of pumps to test! (and pass on to the fairies for redistribution, obviously :whistle:)

See I used the bits that I got with the harmony hand pump so the hard horn not the soft-fit one.

Think I'm going to re-sell it and either buy a new medela double electric or another mini electric

I'd tell BB your exclusively expressing worth a shot!

Breast pump addicts anon here :rolleyes:

No words of wisdom on the sleeping from me... Aimee has never slept well and Caitlyn will sleep 9 hours one night then be up at 3,5 and 7 the next

Hoping she sleeps well tonight, I feel rank! Am tucked up in bed but daren't go to sleep just yet... Hubby always disturbs me when he comes to bed after me, noisy bu99er...
