[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should do more, yes. But also, do you have a dishwasher? Throw pump parts and bottles in there when you get home (or have him do it). It seems like that would solve your problem.[/quote]

This, if you have a dishwasher, use it. [/quote]

I’m the pp that mentioned the dcum gaslighting OP - this is another dumb example of it. [b]Bottles like dr browns or medela pump parts can’t be put in dishwasher [/b]and take the longest to clean correctly. Or those weighted straw sippies for toddlers. You have to wash the bottles by hand I get it. You’re not crazy or wrong.

NP here. Really? I EPd for a year and had a ton of Dr. Brown bottles and Medela parts and I washed mine in the dishwasher. OP, you can also get those microwave Medela steamer bags to help clean the pump parts; I used those too.

I say this with all kindness- if pumping and its logistics are causing you a ton of stress, maybe you should consider stopping pumping.  Your baby getting formula with a healthy and happy mother is way better than a very stressed out mother whose PPD could be exacerbated by pumping. I thought I had also read that for some women, BF/pumping actually worsened their PPD.[/quote]

Never heard that BF/pumping can worsen PPD, but weaning can definitely cause or exacerbate mood disorders. Just something to consider.[/quote]
