Six weeks ago, I stepped into the whirlwind of motherhood and it’s turned my world upside down in the best way.
Before I fell pregnant, my days were a blur of meetings, travelling interstate for work, early morning gym sessions, and catching up with friends over coffee or a wine. Now, my world revolves around my little boy, Rex, who takes up most (if not all) of my attention, especially with exclusive breastfeeding keeping me busier than ever.
Days with Rex are the best, but they do feel like they're on fast forward, leaving me with mountains of washing and week-old hair. I am also desperately craving 5 minutes of time to myself. I love the slow and special bonding moments I get with my baby during breastfeeding — but I wanted it to be time for me to share the feeding load with my partner and start pumping to give myself a breather.
The current buzz for the Welcare Nurture Electric Breast Pump ($99.95) in a few of my mums group chats had me wondering if the hype is actually worth it, given the more affordable price to others on the market — so I trialled it for a week to see. Here's my honest opinion.
Setting it up
Anything that comes in a box this neat and compact makes me very happy.
