Hands-Free Pump Recommendations?

Question

I’m 5w5d with baby #3, I work full time and plan to continue even after baby is born. I want to give my baby breastmilk exclusively via breastfeeding & pumping. I got the MomCozy through insurance (was not expecting it to come this early!) and just want to make sure I made the right choice. It was free, so if it turns out that there is a better quality one that I should get I’ll just put it on the registry or get it myself later on. TIA! 🤍

Answer

I have 4 pumps and looking for more (the ones I have work great I have spectra the pink one I have z2 Mandela and momcozy s12) I think they all good they all remove good amount about 6-7 oz after feeding( I feed my 1 month old and my almost 2 year old) I only pump once a day in the morning.with my first I used the spectra all the time and loved it I didn’t mind being attached to the wall this time around I mostly use momcozy as I can do other stuff. At first I was getting 3 oz after feeding them both I played with the setting and now I’m getting 6-7 as well with the momcozy.. I whole rant is saying wearables aren’t bad if u not exclusively pumping and even if u are I’m sure u can find a good one u just got to play with it and see what works for u..also flange size I barely feel it when I’m pumping

Answer

I used my wearable pump when traveling (which I did for work). It checked the box to get the milk out, but it didn’t work great and it didn’t work as well as my Spectra. I used a regular pump every other time.

Answer

No it wasn’t. Wearables are not advised to be used as a primary pump. They aren’t hospital grade and don’t have the suction as one therefore can easily decrease your supply. You need a hospital grade electric pump like spectra for when you go back to work.

Answer

I used my momcozy occasionally when I needed to be on the move, but it didn’t work as well as my Spectra. I would not use it as a primary pump. It also spills easily if you move the wrong way imo

Answer

Spectra is definitely the way to go. 
Momcozy is great for when you have to pump in the car or on a plane. Not great for a main pump and will likely hurt your supply if you use it as often as you are intending. 
I only used my momcozy when driving to the nicu (2.5hr drive). Otherwise, my spectra was the way to go.

Answer

Wearables are ok for occasional pumps but shouldn’t be your primary pump. I have a spectra s2 that I use if I’m going to need to pump more than once when away from the house. Elvie stride for occasional pumps
