I had a little mishap the other day but it wasn't that much LaineysMom on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500766 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:04:17 +0000 LaineysMom 500766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: Yeah,, the only benefit to exclusively pumping is that I have been building a pretty decent stash.. Although I need to be a more diligent pumper b/c my supply has stagnated at 25-30 oz. for the past month.. Andrea on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500760 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:02:08 +0000 Andrea 500760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LaineysMom: I am still trying to build my supply. And I really want to start leaving the house again soon (sans baby) so I need some kind of stash! mediagirl on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500741 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:53:55 +0000 mediagirl 500741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used them because they made my nipples not hurt so badly. :-) I didn't even care about the milk, they just made me feel almost normal. I'm not sure what it was about them... LaineysMom on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500737 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:52:11 +0000 LaineysMom 500737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: When I looked into these (a few months ago) I was looking for a way out of pumping b/c pumping was so painful for me. You're so much more dedicated than I was.. If LO could handle my letdown and didn't have such bad reflux I would EBF so I didn't have to pump and do so many dishes.. hehe Andrea on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500733 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:49:24 +0000 Andrea 500733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LaineysMom: I pump after I nurse so I just mix it into that bottle. I wouldn't use that milk exclusively - you're right! LaineysMom on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-500731 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:47:28 +0000 LaineysMom 500731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I first looked at these I noticed some reviews mentioning how it only collects foremilk, so there's less fat in the milk then what you would get by bf your baby or pumping. I didn't look into it too much since my supply was pretty good from the beginning, but it was something that I would be a little bit worried about if my stash was compiled exclusively from milk savers.

Does that happen to you? I like my Avent ones because they do not spill even if I bend over. bunnylove08 on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-498091 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:47:36 +0000 bunnylove08 498091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes i ado agree @andrea every drop counts!

It's kind of a pain to remember to use them (when sleep deprived) but definitely worth it, right? autumnlove on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-497743 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:15:10 +0000 autumnlove 497743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I need to buy some of these! bunnylove08 on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-497715 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:07:18 +0000 bunnylove08 497715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use milkies and yesterday morning I was able to collect .5 oz of let down! I was so happy! prettylizy on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-494830 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:52:32 +0000 prettylizy 494830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used them while I was still leaking and they were great. No effort and I could put away 5 ounces in a day or two. Love them :) Mrs. High Heels on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-494764 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:15:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 494764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got the Milkies off BabySteals the last time they had them. Can't wait to try them out as I felt I wasted a lot of leaking milk the first time around. tororojo on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-494648 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:33:44 +0000 tororojo 494648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have heard great things about them! I have the Milkies brand waiting for when I start BFing.

Would be great to get 1 oz!

LO used to waste so much while she was learning to BF and I would leak and make a mess, this would have been so nice to have!

Andrea on "Do you use milk savers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-milk-savers#post-494619 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:25:53 +0000 Andrea 494619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just started leaking quite a bit a day ago so I busted out my milk savers. Definitely worthwhile to wear them. If you leak, I highly recommend them. I don't know what they are called exactly. Mine are from Avent and I got them with DD1.
