Sterilising Medela Swing

[covycrump]

I'm having problems feeding 3 day old DS and am looking to buy the Medela Swing breastpump today to relieve some of the pressure.

Does anyone have one of these and if so can the parts be sterilised in a microwave steamer? I was thinking of getting the Avent Express II, but wasn't sure it would be compatible with the Medela Swing parts, or even whether the Medela Swing can be microwaved (some people on other forums have said theirs died when doing so).

Glad you're feeling a bit more positive and 40g weight gain by 4.5 days is brilliant! Many babies still haven't regained their birthweight by that time so bf is obviously going much better than you realise!

Hurrah! Weight gain is fantastic, you're doing brilliantly. Both mine lost weight in the first week.

Hang in there. It does get easier.

Glad to hear things are improving
As other people have said it does get easier.
Sorry to hear you had a crap midwife! Maybe the health visitors will be better.

My DS slept on my chest mostly day and night for the first couple of months. I think I was rather naive in that it didnt even occur to me that he wouldnt like his moses basket! At 3mths he now sleeps next to me in our bed at night and mostly in his pram during the day. He sleeps really well at night with us but is getting a bit big now - wish me luck getting him in his cot in his own room soon though! (the cot is too big for our room)
