MedelaMedela Manual breast pump with Flex Shields Harmony Single Hand for More Comfort and Expressing More Milk

I started to have clogged ducts that eventually and surely will become mastitis. I was also so pissed off at my momcozy S12 as it was leaking at bottom on milk collector cover while I was pumping only 1-2ml out!!! Seriously when you are trying to save every drop of that liquid gold, and the pump fails you, you'll understand the feeling of "crying over spilled milk." I went on reddit to read comments and someone suggested to try medela hand pump. Totally hands down for this awesome product. It fixes my clogged ducts and pulls quadruple amount of milk I thought I was able to pump, aka from 25ml to 100ml both boobs (I had c section, on 4th day of pumping journey). Pump and massage your boobs to max out guys! Highly recommended! Even more convenient when there are only 5 hard durable plastic parts to assemble instead of 10 soft flimsy parts that wear out in 3 uses.I'll buy the medela plug-in pump later when I produce more as I have all parts from my hospital to take home. Just gotta plug into the pump.

The media could not be loaded. First time mom of 2 months old here. I FEEL STUPID AND SCAMMED FOR buying Elvie electric pump + extra parts over a time to have more time between washing. I spent over $600 hoping this would make my pumping process easier. All the arrangements I was supposed to be able to do.. just caused me so much stress because I had to be careful so it doesn’t fall off my bra and at least once a day when I’ve been pumping for maximum time (40 minutes) I had less than an oz in both because I didn’t attach it properly or it slipped away somehow from my nipple. So my breast was still full and painful and I had to charge this devil device to pump again not to mention how annoying it was to have it on me. Yesterday I got super pissed because it happened again at a night time feeding (my son is too sleepy at night to breast feed him so I use bottle and pump in the meantime) and when I thought I was done my pump was empty and my breast sore and I just wanted to go back to sleep so I was like okay I’m done and ordered this cheap pump. I feel stupid I didn’t do it before… it’s a game changer. Yes you have to pump manually but idgaf. I can empty my breast in 10 minutes, no more soreness even tho it hurt my nipple at first but I got used to it already (in a less than 24h). It spilled on me once because I didn't expect the bottle to fill up so quickly. It's a quick action and quick washing, not the whole process of charging devices, washing many parts and turning on the application, which doesn't show the correct amount of milk anyway. I was a step away from giving up on pumping but I gave this device a chance and with a clear conscience I can say that operating this trivial invention is pure pleasure. At night it safes me so much time and is more effectively. I recommend it 100%.

I exclusively pumped and this was really great to have out and about. It is a good hand workout :) but easy to use and does work well. The bottles had lids and the base is a must have to prevent spills. Great to keep for storage. To get started I would need to pump more quickly but once it let down a steady pace worked well. *I did have battery and electric pumps as well, this was not my only pump but more to have on hand and use additionally. Was more helpful for me toward the end when I was pumping less. I could see if my daughter breast fed having it to pump occasionally or on one side it would work wonderfully

I usually do not write use reviews on Amazon, but this product is really a saver. I wish I had noticed from the beginning. I have been struggling with bumps for five months. I have momcozy m6, the medela freestyle and babyboudha all I had to use them for 30 minutes. But this manual device gave me the same amount in only five - 10 minutes!!!!!!, literally only five minutes on each side to get the same amount that I get with the fancy expensive electric bumps. I can use it while traveling in flights, car anywhere. More over perfect during meetings as it has no sound.

The hand pump is very convenient when I go to the gym or when my baby only nursed on one side. I can quickly express milk to equally and efficiently empty my breast. Because I have a fast flow, I can easily express 2-3 oz from both sides with 10 mins combined. And I can control how long/strong the suction to be by long holding the handle. I would love to give a five-star review until this happened. As I was transporting from gym to home, I put the pump on my lap and it tilted with a little angle. I thought it’d be fine until I suddenly felt wet on my pants and then realized the milk leaked through the pump part. I didn’t bring the cap with me cuz I thought I wouldn’t need to and I thought the seal would be tight anyway. Got frustrated over spilled milk so I took one star off. Maybe make sure the pump also seal tight as the cap, it would be better.

This product SAVED me! I was in so much pain from my electric pump. This allows me to control the suction and speed way better than my old pump and it’s more effective also! It’s discrete and easy to use at work and NO MORE NIPPLE PAIN! How can a product be cheaper, easier to use, and more effective all at the same time?? I don’t know, honestly, this thing might be magic lol!
