Hello Deloitte Moms.. We are eligible for a breast pump, free of cost and they offer five different models to choose from.. Any recommendation on the model type?

I have gone for the Medela Freestyle and got a Spectra through my insurance. No experience with either yet - baby due in June.

Really like the Sonata, I also got pump in style from insurance and bought Spectra based on recommendation from lactation consultants. All pretty bulky but Spectra has amazing battery life

Also no experience yet since baby boy arrived this month. I got the medela sonata since it was the newest model. Lactation consultant at the hospital was very interested in my opinion since this is newer/more expensive they haven’t had women use it yet. It is much larger than I’d like to travel with, so based on earlier posts I ordered the medela freestyle for travel.

Definitely recommend the Medela Freestyle for travel. It’s small and works really well.

Thank you all!

Anyways now they’re saying the whole agile team may be eliminated and I didn’t get any new work assigned this week… I’m kind of freaking out bc I thought I’d at least have until next month.

Not a lawyer specific question, but since many of us have crazy student loan debt thought I’d ask here. Why on earth isn’t there a conversation around the predatory interest rates on student loans?

We are instead having exclusively conversations about loan forgiveness but why no love for reduction in interest?

Help ! My 15 MO eats bare minimum in daycare and wakes up at night very 2 to 3 hours with hunger. I initially thought regression but it’s been 2 months and not improving.

I tried controlled CIO, sleep in bed together and every possible thing but nothing works. Daycare tells they try their best but he doesn’t eat.
