Breast pumps

Deffo Momcosy s12 pro

That's @Justina what was your experience like with this one?

I used Wren to start which did the job but my boyfriend treated me to Elvie ones and they were so much more comfortable! Honestly don’t think I could have exclusively pumped for 10 months (after breastfeeding exclusively)

They don’t recommend using wearables as your main pumps. As the smaller motor won’t drain you properly, leading to problems like mastitis, clogged ducts. I have a spectra (second hand) as my main pump and then the Mom cozy S12 for out and about when I need to.

@Leona I had a main pump that had wires but it didn’t help much as it restricted me when I wanted to get around . This one helped me pump well while doing other things in the house . The suction was also good sometimes I even forgot I had them on

Momcosy!!! I have the S9 hand free doubles! I used mine for almost 6 months to empty me in between contact feeding as I was an oversupplier so I pumped & produced for another baby too!❤️

If you have big boobs, the hands free wearable pumps are not that hands free, you can’t get that much done as you need to keep them in place, however you aren’t hooked up to wires so that is still a benefit to move around. I’ve got the MomMed ones from Amazon I do recommend, especially for car journeys. I’ve just purchased Medela Swing pump though as I need a more efficient pump to create a freezer store, it’s got wires and plugs in to wall but definitely draws more milk. From most people I’ve heard you need to try a few before you find what suits you! I think there’s sites you can hire them too and test out what works for you

Momcozy m5 or pipetta

I really like my medela freestyle, I haven't had any issues with it not draining me properly and got my supply up to a litre a day within 4 weeks of my little girl being born. I ended up pumping 4 times a day for 30 minutes a session and that was enough to maintain my supply. If you buy it from boots it comes with a warranty, and it's very easy to swap if it breaks (mine broke down twice, the third one has been going strong for 7 months). It's not fully wearable but if you get a bum bag you can put the pump part in there

@Sienna I’m using wren now and am pretty happy. What do you like more about the Elvie?

@Chloe wren was still good but Elvie I found it more comfortable to wear and gentler on nipples plus it’s so quiet! Also like how you can control it on the app and keep track of how much you’ve produced

@Sienna thank you!
