Help. Daughter has electric pump, but it takes her 20-30 minutes to express 50ml, surely there must be a faster machine??

Also, baby needs to be given piriton at night and she just squirts it out with her dribble. Daughter has tried using pipette and a syringe. The only time it was vaguely successful was when I hel her slightly tipped downwards and she choked it down!

Dont remember having this problem myself so any suggestions to either problem gratefully received xx

If you out it in the mouth itself, they do. If you squeeze in small amounts into the cheek, they can't


Nurofen syringe is best, for some reason, I have found

We had the same problem with our 6 month old, and never found a proper solution. The only reasonably successful method was to tag team it, with one holding her still with her head slightly tipped back and the other using the syringe. If you can get it in the cheek it helps a lot but it's easier said than done, when baby is clamping her mouth shut, shaking her head and sticking her tongue in the way! Good luck...

Re: the pumping amounts, it may not change with a different pump. If I remember correctly, it would take me about that much time and I might get a bit more, like maybe 70 mls? I found I had to pump at the same time every day in order to easily get a decent amount. At other times of day I could put the pump on and not get a drop.


I always found Kelly Mom really helpful for pumping information: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/


The Kelly Mom site says, for e.g., that a single pumping sessions usually yields 0.5-2 oz, so 50 mL would be on the high end of that range.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
