18 Take Home Points from The Mom Conference 2017

The Mom Conference is over and I understand if some of you may not be able to watch the full presentations due to limited time.

I myself only managed to watch 4 of them so far (in between cooking, folding laundry, and taking care of the kids, lol) but I managed to write down some take-home points from them (scroll down below to read mine).

However, there's a good surprise for you!

The Mom Conference organizer will choose the top 5 presenters (based on participants' choice) and feature them during the Encore Day (24 October 2017 EST).

So yes, you still have one more last chance to watch the presentations.

If you haven't registered yourself yet, please do so in this registration link (the sooner the better so that you can participate in choosing who's gonna be featured during the Encore Day).

Alternatively, if you feel that you want to watch ALL of the presentations on your own pace ( with lifetime access), you can grab the conference recording package (which includes video/audio recordings, viewing guides and other awesome bonuses).

Spectra Breast Pump Parts & Accesssories

I thought of creating a separate post of Spectra breast pump parts and accessories.

Initially, Spectra has very limited choices (be it in breast shield sizes, bottles that fit, and so on).

But thanks to innovations released by various brands, using Spectra is very easy right now.

You are NOT limited to accessories / parts released by Spectra.

There are a lot more parts that you can try out, including how to hack it so that it can work with other breast pump systems.

So, back to the question, which breast pump parts and accessories work with Spectra breast pump?
