This is our first child and I’m only 3 months pp so leaving the house feels so difficult right now. We only do very short trips to the store. My baby has some oral restrictions that we are finally getting looked at this week so nursing is not efficient and he needs a bottle and I have to pump. This makes it more challenging to leave.
He is now really starting to take in the world so we want to start taking him out to more places.
The one thing that would make feeding on the go easier is if we can resolve the nursing issues and not worry about bottles and pumping on the go. In the short term, our Momcozy pick that is making our lives easier is the bottle warmer! It’s really nice to heat his milk up on the go and makes our short outings much easier to manage. Next we need to try out a chiller but we’re looking for one that does not use plastic bottles or interior to store the milk.
Our first summer adventures were planning are the aquarium and the zoo so this little guy can see all the real animals
First off, what a cutie!! I’m sorry you guys are struggling with breastfeeding right now. Hopefully that is something the doctor will be able to help y’all with. It takes a lot of time and dedication to pump and bottle feed. You are doing such an amazing job going above and beyond for your son!
Outings will get easier the more you do it. It’s so intimidating at first!
I really want to get the Momcozy breastmilk cooler too. It looks like such a useful product, and I love that the milk goes into a separate bottle that goes into the cooler. I haven’t seen any others like it!
The zoo and the aquarium sound like so much fun! I wish we had one near us, but the closest one is a 3 hour drive away. We’re thinking about going to the zoo and aquarium in Houston, TX when we got to visit our family in Texas. The zoo there is massive, and the aquarium is really cool!
I hope you are able to resolve the issue with breastfeeding I know how challenging that can be. My first baby had a tounge tie and had to have it released. I have 3 to get ready and out the door so one thing that has helped me with leaving the house is getting everything we need ready the night before so that I am not looking for it that morning and we can just put it in the car and go. I stress so much about feeding/pumping when we have to go somewhere and I’m trying to get better about it. Also having a pumping bag with my pumps and bottles helps because I am less likely to forget something. You are doing a great job momma and outings will get easier! The milk cooler is on my list too I want one so bad!
I get how stressful it is to leave with what feels like taking the entire house with you I love the bottle warmer and I use the papablic chiller, I want to try the momcozy one so hopefully adding that one to cart too!
I went to Australia on a work trip and went to the Melbourne Zoo over the weekend to do a safari tour and the very first animal I saw was a Texas Longhorn so glad I traveled 30+ hours to see a Texas Longhorn hahaha
