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.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
