Haiya, like this I put them in different containers then I can go back to bed faster. Haha.. I only keep night ebm in fridge, morning and afternoon either I keep in freezer for baby (usually only 1-2 pump sessions cause can last him more than a day) and the rest can be finished on the spot by my toddler.
Apparently it's ok provided milk is chilled before adding n smaller amount than frozen part. Just to share:

I will err on the safe side. Cos when u add milk to frozen part some of the frozen part will defrost and defrosted milk cannot refreeze.

As in you took a few almond nuts and then got engorged? You girls get milk really easily man. I tried rolled oats, almond also like that. Ate fish also same same. Think my supply kinda stabilized liao. But it's enough for my LO currently so I'm happy as it is.

I'm using peg perego pliko p3.. Really sturdy cos can hang a lot of stuff at the back and the stroller never topples. Downside is it's kinda heavy, though I do fine lugging it out on bus and in train.
I love Quinny prams too, they look nice and do the job but the big ones are really bulky so unless you drive a car with big boot else it's not going to fit.

Depends on your usage patterns. For me I will bring LO out and he needs to nap when out so better to get one for reclining. I also needed one that preferably I can put the car seat on so I can take in and out of cab and just put on stroller bracket.
And of course something that is sturdy and moves around easily. So I got the bugaboo bee. When your baby is older like 2, can consider an umbrella stroller which is lightweight.

I never get engorged too, my supply is also sort of stabilized. Usually pump almost the same total amount for a day and since I have excess for baby at the moment I just don't bother to try to increase supply.

I'm using Maclaren XLR and Peg Perego P3, maclaren for baby when he comes home while p3 is for toddler and my 5 year old to use. Recently my 5 year old doesn't like to walk so I let him stand at the back of the stroller or toddler stand at the back while he sits. Both strollers about the same weight but p3 more stable, it won't topples if u hang things at the back.

Hi mummies,
I need advice here. Anyone of u using Avent classic bottles for ur LO? I realised that there are many bubbles formed on top of the milk and some even trapped at the teat. Will this cause colic? My bb is very fussy & cranky this few days, keep wanting to be carried and patting. Once put down to bed, she bcome awake & start crying again

It's normal if he pees normally, stools not hard and gaining weight. My toddler used to poo only once a week when he's on bm during baby time, was told that it's because baby adsorbed everything in bm so nothing for him to pass out.

I did read that bubbles forming is common for fm feeding, but looking at the amount of bubbles in the Avent bottle, I worry is that too much?

So u change to dr.brown bottle? Or just buy the teat and use on Avent bottle?

Did u hold the bottle upright when feeding him? As in let the teat there b filled with pool of milk all the time leaving no air spaces. I also use avent classic n notice the bubbles will accumulate there when I leave empty spaces in the teat pool (instead of holding it upright n filling jt with bm).

i chnge to dr brown bottle.. wil only change back to avent aft he turn 4 mths ba
no bubbles at all!
my baby is much better aft changing to dr brown. last time i use avent for my #1, she also colicky, last time i still dunno gt dr brown
i use the wide neck dr brown, cos scare baby hard to adjust back if use there 'slim' bottle
That's right, My fully bf baby also poo once in 5-7 days but 6-8 wet diapers daily. NUH lactation consultant also said bcos BM fully absorbed. If baby's gaining weight, then no issue.
