I really hope its not the motor otherwise it'd be a mission to get fixed I would have thought being second hand. fingers crossed!

Thanks for all the advice everyone! The diaphragm / suction cap thing seems to be working as it's scrunching up and expanding ok...I think. The second tube bit has been sealed off, but i havent yet tested the second set so I will do that and see if it's a problem with the first set if there is a tear/hole somewhere. I've turned both the cycle and suction dial to the max and can barely feel anything, but i tried again and managed to get one drop. Progress but a very long way to go!!! Fuschia - thatd be amazing if you could take a look at it. I'll PM you. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong and just need someone who knows how to work it to spot my mistake. thanks everyone x

hi, looking for advice from anyone whose used the ameda lactaline before. I have an ameda lactaline and tried using it for the first time this weekend. the suction doesnt seem that strong even if i turn it to the strongest setting so ive not been able to express any milk. ive made sure the flange is attached to my boob properly but still nothing. it was a second hand pump i bought from ebay - does this seem like theres something wrong with it or should i just give it more time? thanks

I never really considered a baby hammock but reading all the posts I'm starting to think this is the way to go for us instead of a crib or a moses basket for the early months, especially as we would move it around a fair bit. If anyone has one that they are thinking of selling, please PM me. thanx

Really useful to hear about your first hand experiences - thanks for that ladies. I'm definately going to give it a bash...nothing to lose, right :))

Im also considering hypnobirthing but I'm confused what the difference is between hpnobirthing and natal hypnotherapy - anyone know?? I'm hoping to give it a try so if anyone has any cds that they no longer want/need please let me know! x
