I loved my wearable, I used the Elvie as my primary pump. I didn’t experience aversions to breastfeeding but I struggled with pumping, being stuck to an outlet was tough for me too. I was able to pump and multitask which helped me to deal with the aversion part.

@camile4403 25 күн бұрын

You are right. 1st time mom here. I have 3 pumps. One is a Wearable but I rarely use it. I use my spectra and a portable pump

@Allyxoxo3 24 күн бұрын

My rule of thumb was if I can sit by myself in an enclosed room I’ll wear my flange full size pump, if not I’ll use wearables. I noticed the difference in efficiency and output

@Azzabeth23 17 күн бұрын

Started my EP journey with Spectra at home and Elvie at work. After a few weeks realized I got identical output with both! So decided to stick to my Elvie for ease of use and been going strong now for almost 4 months. I’m six months postpartum and a just enougher. I started using it after my milk supply was established though.

@KAROLYNN007 25 күн бұрын

alison! you are so helpful and spot on with these videos. i had a willow go but disliked it due to the finicky nature of it. i needed something that i could slap on and go. i bought a portable pumpables pump, and i use cups with that. it works fine when i'm in a pinch, but overall, I'd rather sit and use my spectra s2. thanks for the video today! 😊

@laurashortill8623 22 күн бұрын

I was very intimidated by wearables, so I did not try one until I was about 7-8 months along with baby 2. It’s been good, and it’s been helpful to pump in the car or at home doing dishes, to sneak in extra pumps when I experienced an unexpected dip in supply. I like that it’s so easy to pump with 1 wearable one sided, then switch to the other side, to reduce cleaning parts, and I make sure if kiddo wakes up early from a nap I’m not “out” (i know one is never out but it can be frustrating if baby wakes up early and hungry and you just finishes a double sided pump session). Ive use the Mommed S21 and it’s been good for me. Other pumps I had success with are the Spectra S2, Unimom opéra, and Elvie stride, and PGA. I like that the Mommed has faster cycle speeds than the PGA.

Thanks for this video! This has been a question I’ve had for a while. Exclusive pumper here with 3 pumps and I own an Elvie, but I stopped using it because I just wasn’t getting results (I’d much rather use my portable spectra and also Elvie parts are much harder to find)

@magdalenefranklin4262 21 күн бұрын

I used a Spectra to exclusively pump until my son was 9mo-ish. As soon as he became mobile it was SO HARD to stick to a pump schedule at home. As well as just the discomfort of pumping at work with the Spectra. I tried the Momcozy s9 and switched to exclusively pumping with that wearable pump. It has been over 3 mo and I am now weaning with it. Saved my pumping journey being able to figure out a wearable pump! Warning: My body decided it preferred the wearable pump and all of a sudden my Spectra was no longer being efficient. My guess is suction difference? I did have to go back to pumping every 2 Hrs while at work in order to keep up supply. So I was kinda forced in to exclusively using my wearable because I didnt have good pump support around me. oops! I really appreciate the wisdom this channel has to offer

@katiebosticco 24 күн бұрын

I don’t know why, but I have a spectra and cheap wearable pump from Amazon, and my wearable pump empties me soooo much better and has increased my supply. I can’t even use my spectra anymore because I get clogs if I use it too much. The flange sizing is correct for both and I’ve tried different settings. I guess it’s convenient for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

@katiebosticco 24 күн бұрын

I have the Paruu P10. $60 on Amazon, and it works so well! A little loud, but it has been a lifesaver!

@fossil1127 21 күн бұрын

This is my experience as well. For my 2nd, the Spectra nor medela never gave me a good output. I would pump 5 or 6oz in a 9 hours shift. My stash saved the day 😢 Now with my 3rd baby, I got the Paruu P10 just to try it out!! I get 12-14 oz EVERY DAY.

@jessicayasmeen4654 13 күн бұрын

I'm 4 months PP, doing combo feeding and trying to have a stash. I have a Zomee and started using it right away. I struggled with being tethered to the pump, with flange sizes, and with less output. 2 months PP I bought a Momcozy wearable for about $120 and I've had a much better experience. I can wear them while I do other things, I now know my flange size, and my output went from 1oz to 2oz per 20 min session, with at least 2 hours in between sessions. I have a small stash, about a weeks worth. And now I've decided to only pump when I need to and I will work on my stash a few weeks before going back to work. I like that I have both pumps but the Zomee is in the box and will remain there unless it's an emergency.

re: your point about using multiple pumps that are similar, what are your thoughts on switching back and forth between the Medela pump in style and Willow go? I have the Medela one and am planning to get the Willow one

Any tips or videos for pumping on long haul international flights ? I have a manual spectra (no electricity needed and it doesnt work for me.)

@jaytalbot1146 25 күн бұрын

@15:00 "do they sell a lot of other things besides pumps" I had to laugh, I have a couple of pairs of Vevor ("Tough tools half price") pumps. I actually like them pretty well, a bit bulky but I like some of the suction patterns. They came with a spare set of duckbills but no other parts are available. But they cost less than $20 a PAIR! , obviously at that price they are discontinued and that is a clearance price. But by buying two pairs I have spares of ALL the parts (including motors) and two complete sets of the washable parts so I can clean in batches. Also a lot of companies sell pumps that look virtually identical but at vastly different prices, the expensive ones _might_ have better parts inside, but I have some "S10 pro" wearable pumps I got for about $20 each (on sale) that work fine. At that low of price even if they are not as durable one can have replacement sets. The "S10 pro" cups can also be used with a cap for a tube rather than the cup mounted motor to use with other pump motors. The cups that came with my Ardo Alyssa seem identical (though buying them from Ardo is much more expensive)

I’ve been pumping for 15 months now with my Unimom Opera. Trying to make it to 18 months. Going on vacation for 3 weeks and wondering what wearable cup or pump would be good for travel.

@NewLittleLife 24 күн бұрын

You could certainly give it a try! Make sure to give it a go before your trip so you know if it works well for you!

@bperez489 22 күн бұрын

I have been seeing adds for the new eufy wearable pump, I hope to see a review!! 👀 I have the willow go, and it has been a hit or miss for me… so I’ve been using my baby Buddha with their cups which has been a game changer, just not as sleek as a wearable pump. So still curious about the eufy pump. 😅

Why do u say if my goal is to empty breast then wearable isnt a good option?

@rebeccabutler1743 8 күн бұрын

If you are an oversupplier, should you stay away from a wearable?

@NewLittleLife 7 күн бұрын

Not necessarily, they may work well! I would be cautious of using a wearable all the time unless it empties you well and your supply stays where you want it

It's by the grace of the most high I still have milk in these boobies. Im from the caribbean so no pump insurance. Anyway as a new mom on a budget. My first was the bella baby portable...i then got the bella baby hands free then the paruu p10 then finally the baby Buddha. I have elastic nipples and size 16 mm and use the 15 17 21 24 and19 mm flange which works. All the pumps I got off eBay where I had a pretty bad experience with a p10 and had to return it. If I could purchase the right way I would but the sacrifice is too great. I love the 19mm inserts as it helps with proper alignment. The baby b portable has been my favourite i can use all levels without pain but I like the bella baby for it's varied modes as I work well with that. As a first time mom my only LC is KZfaq i exclusively pump 1 2 Or 3 times daily s only jsome times i missed a day . With all that said I make 4 0z to 10 ounces daily rare 16 oz ( that's in the first 3 months PP)

Have you seen The Natural Lioness’ channel’s critique of the wearable Tomme Tippee? Sounds like the firmware update killed these pump old & new. 🪦

Oh no!!! This is happening more and more often on these smart pumps. I hate to hear that!
