Balancing Motherhood and Breastfeeding
As a mum of four, Elise knows how full-on the days can get. “I'm often breastfeeding while walking around the house and juggling daycare drop-offs, school, and chores. Quiet moments are rare!” she shares.
Organisation is key. “I pack bags the night before and use my Bubka Move Pump while getting the kids dressed or tidying up - it helps me get things done while still pumping.”
Overcoming Breastfeeding Challenges
Elise’s fourth breastfeeding journey began with hurdles. “My bub had jaundice and was a sleepy feeder, which led to low supply. I was stuck in a two-hour cycle of feeding, pumping, and bottling.”
“I started with a traditional pump, but being tied to cords made it impossible to look after the other kids. The Bubka pump changed everything.”
“I can now slot the pump into my bra and keep going - making snacks, playing with the kids, doing dishes. It’s life changing.”
Her advice? “Take the help. I thought baby four would be easy - but every journey is different. When I noticed he wasn’t gaining weight, I booked in with a lactation consultant and saw her weekly for a month.”
Support Resources That Made a Difference
“I had six weeks of lactation consultant care through my private hospital. If you can access one, do it - or ask your local community nurse centre.”
Unexpected Moments of Pumping
“I haven’t left the house pumping yet - but the first time I did dishes while pumping I was blown away. I told my husband it was amazing!”
Favourite Features of the Bubka Breast Pump
“It’s easy to assemble, has great suction strength, and the milk pours cleanly into bags. Best pump I’ve used - by far.”
