I’m 5 days postpartum and I have the Haakaa, Spectra S2, and the Elvie. And I must say that the Elvie is by far the best. I like that you can set different suction levels for each breast. It also stimulates your breast before pumping begins. You can control it with an app you can program it and you can also manually control it. It’s super easy and the apps lets you know how much milk you’ve collected per breast and in total plus you can save your results to track how much milk you produced for that day. Although pricey, it actually works. It help to regulate my engorged breast. If you can afford it buy it. Thank you for this review as I used it to get better acquainted with the Elvie. ❤

Hello Sarah! Thank you for all the content you have been sharing. It is my first pregnancy and I really had only basic knowledge about pregnancies and no experience with babies. So your channel has been really informative and big support about learning about the topic. Here I remember in one of your videos you recommended some books to read for new moms, but I really can't find the video as its title was about something else. It would be really great if you could make a recommendation video for the books to read or just somewhere in your channel they would be listed out by various topics. As this topic is new to me, it is difficult to distinguish the books backed up with science or by medical professionals from the books which are just someone's own trial-by-error experiences.

I'm curious about how you feel about the willow go, since they changed the suction style back to more traditional suck and release style. And also the elvie stride, since they added tubes back into the mix.

How many times a day do you use your Elvie? Does the heat generated by the pump cause any potential harm to breast or breast tissue or skin?
@nikkiboyd2055
@nikkiboyd2055 Жыл бұрын
To me the heat from the pump is just a little warm, the same heat you feel from body heat from holding your baby skin to skin. Personally I think it helps as warmth increases blood flow and therefore can increase milk production so for me it feels like a lactation warmer.

I returned my elvie. I compared it with my spectra s1 , and spectra made more milk then elvie. So I don’t see any reason to choose elvie for such money. And elvie doesn’t give you options to be free while pumping. Anyway you will sit and pump in quite atmosphere. Plus it was very painful and leaked. Don’t waist your money and milk.

I’m due in September and can’t wait for my baby girl to get here I’ve been hearing about both of those breast pumps but I’ve also heard momcozy is just as great and it’s very cost affective. I’m going to need a wearable breast pump when I go back to work of course and when I’m at home with her. In all honesty I’m torn I kinda don’t want to spend $500 on a breast pump especially if I know I’m not going to use it for that long.

I’m out on unpaid maternity leave and I had to basically spend my last on getting this pump (just ordered last night) because I’m OVER being confined to a socket with both my hands full while my 2 week old screams her head off at every moment I put her down. This wearable pump is Finna change my life 🥴🥴🙌🙌

But the hospital was really trying to sell me on a regular breast pump hooked up to the wall and everything. I love my momcozy just make sure you have the right size flange as well cause I had to get a bigger size love.

@@beautiful_wonderfullymade yaasss!!! I’ve came in contact with some moms while I was randomly shopping at target in the baby section and we got the talking she also kinda regrets that she got the elvie because she’s been having issues with her left one and this isn’t my first time hearing that. I told her my experience with momcozy and she was actually looking into that breast pump as well. I’m happy I weighed out my options before I jumped on it and got the elvie because at the end of the day they all have the same motor just different name and different styles.

Can I get an honest answer from an obgyn? I'm 40 weeks and 3 days and my care group won't let us schedule induction until Monday my 41st week. Why can't I schedule it now for next week if I'm probably going to need to schedule it Monday? Just curious from an obgyn perspective why can't someone schedule it ahead of time? It's really unnecessarily stressful to the mom. 🤷‍♀️

What do you do if your flange size is 15? That’s so much of a difference from the options they have available! With ny medela hand pump I can add in universal flange inserts to make it the right size.. can you do that with the elvie pump?

I wouldn't recommend using this all the time. I use my Medela 90% of the time and only use Elvie when I'm driving or very busy around the house. It definitely doesn't get as much out as my Medela does but it was worth it for me for the convenience, as it ensures I never miss a pump session.

Just be conscious of not having it bee your only way of extracting milk since it doesn’t do a great job of fully emptying the breast. If you are also using a traditional pump for some of your sessions and/or also direct breast feeding it works out in my experience. I mostly direct breast feed but try to pump once a day to allow my partner to give a bottle and create some reserve in the freeze for when baby is with her grandparents and this works perfect for that. It also always me to pump and bottle feed when we travel. We just took a long road trip and to not have to stop and get her out of the car seat every time she needed to feed was great. I could sit in the backseat with her. Pump, pour the milk in a bottle and feed her in her car seat it was game changing!
