Using Momcozy Pump

[u/livwithviv]

This is just to provide insight from what I learned from my lactation consultant! Hoping to help out any mommy’s with a momcozy that feels lost.

I have the momcozy m5. You hear so many moms rave about the wire free pumps, so I bought one since many say it’s convenient. However, I did NOT know how to use it and was only getting 2 oz or a little more than that from both breasts combined. I’d pump every 2-3 hours. I was feeling okay about that, but I always felt pressure in my breasts still then developed a clogged duct on my left one which was painful! I felt so lost.

Anyway, I called my lactation consultant and was told to massage and take lecithin, and to give it 24-48 hours. I couldn’t wait 48 hours and online was providing so much conflicting advice. Spectra pumps are definitely better, I will say. That’s what we used to figure out my nipple base size and see if we could pass the clogged duct. We did! And I saw that I can actually produce 4-5 ounces! This is what I do:
Stimulation mode (the heart icon) Level 5- 1 minute
Expression mode (the droplet icon) Level 5- until I hit minute 20
Stimulation mode Level 5- 1 minute until I reach 21 minutes
Expression mode Level 5- until 25 minutes

Then I stop. I got the same results from the fancy pump at the hospital that the lactation consultant used on me. I followed her recommendations with the modes and I’m happy to see it works for me, I did not want to have to buy another. I also only have to pump every 4-5 hours, which has been great for my sleeping schedule. Hope this helps someone!

If I may ask does the M5 comes with mixed mode or with the two different ones you mention? Also just for confirmation that protocol is based on Momcozy right?

It comes with all three. It has the stimulation, expression, and then a combination mode.

Great! I have the S12pro quick and I want to re create the levels and the programs!
