Customer Review: Made breastfeeding possible for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I can honestly say that this pump is what allowed me to provide breast milk to my children.
I heard lots of things about how good breastfeeding is for babies but my first refused to latch to the breast. I used the hospital model for a couple weeks to establish milk supply and then used this exclusively for another 6 months. I actually had better success with this pump in both comfort and supply. I was able to get about 15 oz in 10 minutes with this pump.
My second child was born preemie so she was unable to feed at the breast and again I pumped exclusively. After establishing a supply, I had no problems with it (approx 5 1/2 months of use).
When the third came around, again I pumped exclusively for about 6 months. I did start to notice a few things with it (zipper started sticking towards the end of use and once it made a funny noise like the pump was going out but it stopped and continued working for the remaining 4 1/2 months of use).
Pros:
-Portability (takes less than 5 minutes to pack everything needed into bag or set up for pumping)
-Ease of finding and cost of additional parts - available at Target stores, hospital, online and several other stores
-Same brand and near same quality of machines hospital provides
-Pump fits any standard size bottle
-Breast shields available in several different sizes to minimize discomfort
-Work (IBM) provided purchase option at 1/4 of retail price
-Withstood approx 18 months of heavy use (anywhere from 3 to 12 times per day every day the entire time)
Cons:
-Tight fit for storage and parts in bag
-Keeping condensation out of the hoses was a challenge (I had to purchase several sets b/c I couldn't get the moisture out sometimes. I would run it on "let down" for about 2 minutes just air running through after I was done and that seemed to help but didn't completely eliminate problem. Again, pretty cheap though at $4 to replace).
-Battery pack was heavy and didn't work very well
-If you are not the "standard size", you will need to purchase the breast shields separately but only $12 a set for those.
