Apparently I am a part time LC

[lauranicole91]

Last night at work my supervisor came to my lane and turned off my lane light and told me a guest needed to talk to me.

She said she was back in the baby department looking at pumps and asked an employee for help. My coworker then told her she knew nothing of them but sent her to come talk to me.

She went on to tell me she's currently BFing and supplementing her 6 week ild son. She went to an actual LC and she got her on a pill of some sort(can't remember the name) to help with her supply and suggested she get a pump to help stimulate and up her supply.

We ended the convo at the fact she didn't want to fork out the money to have it not work so I suggested renting for a little bit. She said she was pretty impressed that I'm still going at 10months and hopes she has that kind of determination. I also told her to check out kellymom.com.

Not gunna lie having the ability to help out a new mom in such a way after just 20mins of talking really made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Honestly I probably wouldn't even have any of this knowledge without many of you. So thanks for that!

cool! Its nice you could help her.


I always tell my friends to start with a Medela PISA - it really is a good pump. I got a similar yield from it and the Medela Symphony Rental - the Symphony is just faster for me. I EP'd on a PISA for Adele and got up to 50oz a day on that thing.

That's what I pretty much suggested to her. I said if you are looking for quality and efficiency, big, costly brands are really the best way to go. She was originally looking and single electrics. I have used both medela and Tommee tippee. I get more from my Tommee tippee and it is 10x more comfortable than my medela ever was.

That's awesome Laura. I bet she really appreciated the help & advice. When you've got a new baby you just want to hear from someone who's been there, done that to set your mind at ease. You did a good thing

That is great! Looking back I would have died to have someone help me in the beginning.

I promised myself as a mom to never give unsolicited advice but I am more than welcome to spill my knowledge and what's worked for us as soon as they give the word.

Needless to say I talk to A LOT of new moms in just one shift. They ask a lot of questions the moment they figure out I have a babe. But this was the first in depth conversation. Haha. Glad we were so slow last night business wise. Haha.

Aw! Your story made me all tingly and warm + fuzzy. How cool is that! I bet you felt great.

That's awesome! I wish I would have had someone that helpful when I was a FTM.
