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

WOW! I don't think I've ever written a review on Amazon, but this pump is worth it. As a brand new mom, my baby went in for his 1 week check up, and our pediatrician told us she wanted us to start using formula in addition to breast feeding to boost his weight gain. She said I could pump, but that was a lot of work.Of course I wanted my baby to have my breast milk vs. formula, so I began using my far more expensive, electric pump. It was disheartening to see how little I was producing, and after 30 minutes of the electric pump, I wasn't completely empty, but was also only producing little droplets.My fiancé said he saw somewhere that manual pumps have been getting great reviews lately, so I decided to order this one on a whim. I was so beyond impressed the first time I used it, I was laughing with joy. You can literally see your milk jet-streaming (idk how else to describe it) out of your boobs, and this pump completely emptied me in under 10-15 minutes. I got 2 ounces the first try, compared to the 0.5 ounce I usually get with the electric pump.Another pro is that you can take this pump anywhere. It's small, easy to assemble, has only a few parts to put together vs. a machine/battery pack, and is so much quicker. I couldn't imagine being out and having to be attached to a machine for 30+ minutes. The convenience alone makes this product such a win.If you're an under-producer, or you're thinking about giving up on your breast feeding/pumping journey because your baby isn't getting enough - try this pump first!

There are a few reasons why I love this product. I also have a hakaa, which was a lifesaver when I discovered it. However, this one has three key features that make it superior: (1) the silicone is thicker and stays on the breast better, (2) the suction cup on the bottom prevents tipping, and (3) the yellow stopper provides quick capping when you’re sleep deprived so you don’t have to worry about spilling; of course, it comes with the white cap as well. Overall, really great product, and I tend to recommend it more than the hakaa!

This is the best pump I have ever tried. I have a hands free pump which really doesn’t empty my breast milk and takes a long time or losing suction and tried using a hospital pump with my other child which didn’t help either. Only thing missing is flanges from this packet which would make it the Best ever!! Luckily I have those from my hands free pump

This hand breast pump has been such a lifesaver! It’s incredibly easy to set up and use, making it perfect for those moments when I need a quick and hassle-free pumping option. The compact design makes it super convenient to toss in my diaper bag or keep on hand for travel, work, or just as a backup at home.Despite being manual, it has great suction and is comfortable to use. It’s a great option when I don’t want to deal with setting up an electric pump or need something quiet and efficient. The simple design also makes it easy to clean and reassemble, which is a huge plus for busy moms.If you’re looking for a reliable, portable, and easy-to-use breast pump, this one is a fantastic choice. It’s such a great go-to option for on-the-go or quick pumping sessions!

I can't pump just yet but I did test it and a couple of pumps did pull quite a bit of colostrum that I hadnt seen yet. It hurt a little from the suction but once I can use it I will use coconut oil on the inside of the flange. I haven't washed it yet so I dont know how well it holds up in the dishwasher. It is easy to put together but one piece is difficult to take apart. I got as a back up to my electric pump in case of power outage (happens a lot here) and travel. I feel confident it will work well.

This is a wonderful little pump. It definitely gets the job done.With my first born, I didn't pump very often at all since she was EBF. I bought this along with 2 knockoff Haakaas to use on the go.This pump emptied me in a fraction of the time it would've taken to use the Haakaa on the opposite side.I bought it again when I had my second child. I'd never been hooked up to a wall pump nor were wearable pumps a thing when my first was born so I had no idea how long it would take me to empty.Within minutes of pumping, my collection bottles quickly fills with milk.This pump has come in handy for when there was a power outage and I couldn't use my wall pump.The only thing i don't like, is the constant pumping you have to do manually. My hands gets tired after so long.Every mom needs to have a good manual pump on hand and this is the one. I am so glad I have this pump.

I had a hospital grade pump and portable pump but was having so many issues with supply. I bought this hoping that when I’m feeling very stuck to a pump this will help me so I can easily stop and move if need be. This actually helped my supply more than the other two. It’s super easy to clean and perfect if you’re trying to empty some out when in a rush.

I love this pump! It is so effective. I bought it to go in a small weekend trip and it fits perfect in my diaper bag and was a very effective pump. Easy to put together and easy to wash. lOVE IT.
