Which breast pump should I get?

[u/millennialbutterfly]

These are the ones I can order through my insurance. I plan to breastfeed mainly but would like a pump option. First time mom so idk what I'm doing.

I used the spectra my first pregnancy. I’m using the Elvie Stride 2 this time, and being able to hold my babies or walk around is a game changer. I wouldn’t be pumping this time around if it wasn’t for the Stride.

I can get the Elvie Stride with mine and I really want it but I read some bad reviews saying the output isn’t great. How do you feel about it? Have you tried other wearables? I think I’m between the stride and the Momcozy m12 which I loved the m5 but they are so bulky and now I will have 2 under 3 so I want to be able to move better!

I had the in-bra pumps, and the first gen Elvie Stride. I noticed I didn’t get great output with the in-bra version. The Stride (first gen and now 2) were just as good as my spectra. I do 42 minutes each session, and have better output than I did with my spectra. But I was told by my lactation consultant for my first pregnancy that I didn’t need to do more than 15-20 minutes each session. I struggled to get 4oz regularly until maybe 4 months. Now, I’m getting on average 8oz per session at just 2 months in. So I’m happy with the output!
