The BabyBuddha is not as popular as it should be, it's an amazing little pump! I gave away my Spectra and sold my Elvies once I realized how well BB works for me. Makes pumping so much less stressful.
Where did you sell your elvie pump? Because I bought one n the suction is super weak. They sent me another one because they don't offer refunds but still the suction is weak. I can't return it. No refunds available.
I find the baby buddha is amazing and even extra amazing with freemie (or other) cups..... most other pumps cant afford the drop in suction with those systems but the baby buddha can!!!!!!!!!!!! i love mine with all my heart. Saved me so much time pumping in life... and I don't enjoy pumping >.
So if I were to EP this go around which one would be best for the long haul? I used the freestyle OG three years ago and loved it. I added the hours and I personally used it for 385hrs and then passed it along to a friend who used the snot out of it as well. I’m hoping the flex would be just as good. Any intel on what the lifespan of these two pumps are? These two are what my list has narrowed down to and I’m a little torn on which to get.
This has to be the best pump I've got because you can swap out the shield/flanges for the wearable cups I love how interchangable I bought this in 2021and never used it now it's my go to with the coat of living and how much the prices have changed I'm glad I never got rid xx
The suction in the baby Buddha was too much for me. My nips had to recover, it took a while. I use medela symphony at the somewhat low to mid settings- not sure anyone has had this experience.!’
Can you buy the handsfree cup of freestyle separately? I wanted flexibility of using both with the regular pump and handsfree. What do you recommend? Thank u so much!
Do both these pumps have vibration with suction? I prefer a pump with no vibration like the old Medela pump in style advance! Does the Medela max flow have a vibration?
If you have lots of clogs and low production, I’d guess there is is problem with how you’re pumping. Sometimes it’s the pump, most of the time it’s something else! Have you tried a few different pumps?
I used the original medela free style 7 years ago and I love it. I’ve breastfed 4 kids and used about 10 different pumps or more. That’s the original backing/duckbill that they used with the original freestyle and then they decided to use that with all of their pumps.
I see you post a ton of pumping videos, would you consider doing a video talking about different bottles and comparing them! It definitely coordinates with pumping because if you pump you are using bottles also! Maybe some categories could be nipple flow, bottle similar to breast, options available, anti gas…etc!
Its pretty good. I think it claims an hour on a single charge. It seems like its not much but I could effectively drain with it in literally like 10-12 min so it was definitely enough for like 3 or 4 sessions on a full charge (probably even more but it has never died on me and I worked 10 hour shifts). Also you can pump and charge at the same time.... it has a mini USB charger so you can even charge in the car and pump if you have to... Amazing. I loved it! Totally recommend. I am considering just getting a second one for this baby but I feel like that might be silly but if my first buddha dies I will not be OK LOL.
