Congrats on the birth of your baby! I hope that everything is going well for you and your little one. I just want to say that your the reason that I understand how to use my spectra pump. Thanks for all of the informative content you put out!
Thank you so much Kristen, that is so sweet of you. We are doing very well, motherhood is such a blessing. I'll be sharing more little by little. I am so happy you enjoy the videos and that you are here 💜
You had mentiomed that you wouldnt use it to establish supply. Any suggestions on one in particular that you would? I wanted to try strictly pumping this go around and am not sure on which one to use
Hi Tiffany! Great question. You would want something stronger to establish a milk supply. Starting with a hospital grade pump for the first month (like Medela Symphony and others) while you establish a supply would be best. Otherwise, (and after the first month) I would probably do something like one of the Spectra Pumps (S1, S2, Gold). If you prefer a portable option and are ok with VERY strong suction, the BabyBuddha could work as well. Hope that helps :)
@@minabeena2906 hi Mina. Yay! So cool that you are an RN too! 💪🏽I would recommend using this more occasionally, for example if you are in the car going to Dr appointments or shopping, but when you are away from your baby for longer stretches, I would use a pump that is more effective at emptying you all the way, like a spectra, or a Symphony (if your hospital has Symphony that you can use or borrow, even better). Unfortunately, supply can tend to drop when we go back to work, especially if you have a busy job that makes it hard to stop and pump, so you want to use a reliable pump. That being said, If a portable pump makes the difference between pumping and not pumping at all because you don’t have time to sit down, it’s always better to pump independent of what pump you are using
Hi! How often to replace your parts depends on how often you pump and which parts they are. I find this to be a pretty good guide. exclusivepumping.com/when-to-replace-breast-pump-parts/
Aww congrats on your bundle of joy! I’m a new mama as of last week and I’m trying to get used breast feeding. This pump looks amazing and would love to try it. I tried looking on your IG to enter the giveaway but I don’t know if it had passed or not. Thank you so much for uploading this information! 💕😘
Wondering how to make sure the pump is well centered, we can't really see. Also, how can we know we are done pumping? Sometimes I have to extend my 30min session. Currently using a Medela pump in style Thanks
Hey. I've just purchased this model, I also have the m1. My s12 comes with a clear and white ring, but I cant see anywhere in the book that tells me what they are? Can you please help 😊 x
I would be cautious of this pump. I have it and have only been using it a month, I nurse and pump. The motor recently has been slowly dying and losing suction, did some research and this is a common problem with the s12.
Hey I’m really interested in these! I’d love to enter the giveaway but couldn’t figure out how! I visited the IG and gave a follow still confused sorry!
Hi! Sorry about the confusion, I am currently in communication with the company about the giveaway since the pump has been out of stock. I'll update soon :)
You would want something stronger to establish a milk supply especially if your baby isn't latching or you are an exclusive pumper. Starting with a hospital grade pump for the first month (like Medela Symphony and others) while you establish a supply would be best. Otherwise, (and after the first month) I would probably do something like one of the Spectra Pumps (S1, S2, Gold). If you prefer a portable option and are ok with VERY strong suction, the BabyBuddha could work as well. Hope that helps :)
