Hi all,
A bit long winded this one, and a long shot but here goes!
I’m a first time mum, my little boy was born 11 weeks ago, a month premature. He was unwell at birth and in my naivety, I didn’t express enough and now have low supply. I can only give him about 1/3 of what he needs.
I currently express with a rented hospital grade medela symphony but currently only manage to pump 4/5 times a day due to being alone with the little one.
I am considering buying a hands free portable pump like Elvie or Pumpables but they are so expensive and I have no idea if they would work for me. If they did, I would be able to pump a lot more during the day.
My question is... does anyone have one of these that I could borrow/use just for 1 pump?! I would be happy to buy the cups/bottles etc for hygiene purposes. A big ask I know but I am desperate to provide my son with more of my milk!
Anyone else in a similar situation and have any advice/thoughts?
Thanks!
