Extending Time in Between Feeds?

Our baby will only sleep a maximum 3 hours in her bassinet for her first night stretch then if we are lucky we will maybe get one 2 hour. After that she only sleeps an 40mins at a time because she can’t connect sleep cycles. The only thing saving me is cosleeping at that point. During the day she eats every 1.5 to 2hrs and for only 5 minutes at a time. I’m wondering if she is “snacking”. I’ve heard Cara say extending time in between feeds can lead to fuller feeds and longer sleep times. Has anyone tried this, did you have success?

Thank you

Momcozy Motor Pump Fix

Hi all. One of my brand new Momcozy Air 1 pumps stopped working, I could hear the motor but suction was super poor. I was about to go through the replacement process when I realized the fix was actually quite simple. In the photo attached where I circled in red is the suction. In there was dried breastmilk that clogged the port. It was very subtle especially because the milk was the same color as the port. I used a fine tool to scrape it off and it works like new again. It’s really easy for milk to leak into that area when disassembling the pump. I thought I’d share this fix with the community since I’m sure it’s a common problem.

Lacevo vs Eufy S1

Hi Australian Moms 👋 I’m from the US, I’ve been using Eufy S1 and found it’s giving me nipple pain. I’ve heard great things about the Lacevo pump, but not sure if it will help my problem. I can’t find any info about it online. Has anyone tried both?

Fridge Hack Question: Freeze the Milk?

Going to start the fridge hack here soon. Can you freeze the milk for your stash or do you leave thawed and use within 24 hours?

I’m on the 6th page of expedition. I haven’t signed up yet, can I get damage points BEFORE signing up? I’m 38 weeks pregnant and baby could come any day now. 😅 if I something comes up and I don’t have the opportunity to get all the skill points I don’t want to wipe.
