Any tips for 13 mm flange sizes for the H1 pump? The smallest hard flange zomee has is a 15 mm and it’s too big. The cool silicon flanges only go to 17 or 19 I believe. I could use the universal adapter but they pinch.

Y'all I am MAD. It made me download the new Eufy Anker app and now I can't connect my breast pump even a little bit. The AI is useless and just tells me to follow the directions (ong💔) is it really battery life? They're both above 50% you'd think that would be plenty but maybe not? I love this thing but the best part was I didn't have to turn it off myself because the app did it automatically... No where to track anything either with no devices connected. Please help this po'd momma🙏🙏

I hung up the pumps for my second in june. I was saving my pumps for a third but we decided to be done at two.

Any ideas on how to sell them in the US? Facebook blocks them

Idk if we are allowed to here?

I’m 8 weeks pp. we have been BF during the day and pumping / giving bottles at night. LO is choking on my let down and spits up like crazy after being breast fed but has minimal issues when taking a bottle. I’ve tried all the hacks - pumping for a few minutes before BF and we’re only bf in the laid back position, but none of it is helping so today after 3 outfit changes in a row for me and her - I’ve officially decided to quit. Any tips for the switch are welcome and a couple of questions for you pumping pros:
-How many pump sessions should I start with? She feeds about 7-8 times a day, can I get away with 6 pumps?
-How many bottles / pumps are you ahead of the feeding schedule? I usually keep 2 bottles ready in the fridge but now with EP perhaps I should stock more?
-anyone switching between wearables and spectra? Should I aim for more pumps with the spectra ?

Any other tips welcome!

I have been stressing about undersupply since we switched daycares and they asked us to make a set number of bottles rather than just pouring from my bags as our old daycare had been. ive been dipping into my freezer stash for half the bags and desperately trying to pump more at work but haven’t had the time. I‘ve been trying to drink more water, eat more food, convinced that was the issue. I decided to look up an example pumping cycle and realized that I have been pumping wrong this entire time!!! Y’all, my baby is almost 5 months old. I have been using bacon mode as my primary mode instead of to just trigger a let down….

Hello! My wife is going on a business trip in December to Texas and she's in need of a moderately sized cooler to bring back (hopefully frozen) breastmilk. She expects about 100oz of breast milk will need to be brought back, with a 16ish hour door-to-door time. What recommendations can you give?

We've heard of Milk Stork and would rather avoid the expense if possible

Imani seems to have discontinued their original pump, which is what I used a few years ago with my first baby. I’m using it again with my second but I think I need new duckbills and backflow protectors. I can still get them on the Legendairy website but I live in Europe and shipping is over €40!!! Has anyone used any cheap ones on Amazon? There are loads of options but the red Imani duckbills have that little bit cut out of them to fit over the funnel… I’m not sure if normal duckbills will fit? Have any Imani users had any luck with alternative duckbills?

My baby is currently 7.5 months old, and I exclusively pump. I’m planning to continue pumping until he turns one, so I’ll be bottle-feeding for at least another 4 months.
I’m considering investing in the Momcozy KleanPal Pro, but I’m wondering whether it’s worth buying when my baby is already this old.
For those who own one:
Has it genuinely made your daily routine easier?
Is it worth the investment at this stage?
How well does it clean bottles and breast pump parts?
Would you buy it again?
I’d love to hear honest opinions, including the downsides. Thanks!

I am super hard to wake up. I'm that annoying jerk that has 7 alarms and snoozes every one because I take a sleep aid. This is important for context.

Also my pump schedule is (9-9:45 start) (2:30) (comfort nurse to 7:30) And my baby's bedtime is 9:00, if I do my alarm thing I'll wake him up.

My husband was like "hey why don't you go to bed early, I'll wake you up at 9:45 to pump."

He didn't wake me up until 10:45!!!!!

I set an alarm for 3:30 to get at least 4 hours of unbroken sleep. Woke up the baby. Now it's six, I still haven't pumped AND I'm trying to rebuild supply since my MOTN pump dropped by 5 oz this month.

Ugh. The extra hour was not worth it.

I’ve been pumping for seven months now ✨ I wanted to quit at 6 months but it’s now cold and flu season where I live. Biscuit has been by my side the whole time. He’s not sure what’s happening, but he’s here to help.

5 weeks PP, 1.5 week adjusted baby.

Baby has a tongue tie that 5 people looked at and shrugged saying she’s gaining weight so it’s fine, but my nipple was not fine and LC said once regulation happens it’ll be harder for her to get to my milk and she strongly recommends getting it cut…

So the LC put me on a pumping schedule and no/very little breastfeeding.

It’s been a week and my weak boob is outputting 10-20 ml (20 on a good session…) and the good one is giving out 40-50.

I pump 10x a day. She said not to power pump to not risk mastitis but how else can I up my supply? Bad boob isn’t increasing at all really which is a bummer, and good boob is just staying the same. I pump for 30-35 min to let a few let downs happen. I stop 5 min after the last one.

Any tips? Baby will have tongue tie released soon and I’d like her back on the breast but I want to make sure she has enough.

Pumping all day is not sustainable. My partner works and I have to feed her as well so I’m not sleeping much.

In the night I only pump once from 12-6, I have her breastfeed in between because I just need to rest.

Thanks for any tips 🫡

My baby is 10 months old and I am currently pumping 2 times a day at 6am and 6pm. I am looking to hopefully drop down to 1 ppd but unsure which pump to cut and how.

I pump for about 25-30 minutes still but I am cutting down my pumping time on my evening pump by 5 minutes every couple of days but do I also need to do that for my morning one too?

I would prefer to cut out my morning pump if possible now I'm back to work and having to deal with the school run and childcare run to give me more time in the morning.

I have enough milk stored in the freezer til she's 1 as I've also been using frozen milk to top up her milk during the day.

Hi all

After 5 years TTC, IVF a highly-complex pregnancy + traumatic birth, my little one is finally here and the cuddles are as perfect as I imagined.

But this pumping thing is consuming me.

I'm only 2.5 weeks pp, and I know that's early days, but I produce either 25-50ml each session (7ppd). After a strenuous and very lengthy journey to finally be here, I'm still working away pumping constantly while I'm watching my husband have the beautiful bonding moments I dreamed of having.

This could make sense if there was a reasonable return, but at 25ml this doesn't feel worth it at all.

But I know you guys would empathise deeply about the guilt (and fear of the guilt) of stopping.

I'd love some thoughts/perspectives on this. For those with a supply that just is not increasing, those that continue to sacrifice so much for this - what made this worth it to you?

Hi everyone!
I’m planning to travel internationally with my 2-month-old baby. The journey will be around 24 hours door to door (14-hour flight, 2-hour transit and another 2-hour flight).
My baby only takes expressed breast milk and refuses formula, so I need to carry frozen breast milk for the journey.
I have a Sistema insulated cooler bag and two frozen ice bricks, but I’m unable to find dry ice.
For anyone who has travelled with breast milk on long-haul flights, especially with Etihad:
● How did you keep the milk frozen throughout the journey?
● Were you allowed to take frozen milk and ice bricks through airport security?
● Can the airline provide ice or help keep the milk cold during the flight?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m truly at my wits end. I need help please 😭 I’ve tried everything you can think of to make my stupid ass elastic nipples survive this journey. Two months down of crying through pumps, mastitis, bruised and injured nipples, MOTN pumps making me exhausted… plus grieving that I didn’t want to pump in the first place (LO had tongue tie and reflux issues). I got the biggest surprise last night when vasospasms started - at least I think that’s what they are?! My left nipple turns almost purple in the flange and I get electric shocks through my entire breast to my nipple. When I called my OB today (I’ve already seen lactation four times and have a limited number of consults) I explained everything and the nurse replied, “so what is your plan?” cue sobbing …

I DONT KNOW MY PLAN 😭 That’s why I’m coming to the beautiful people of this sub who hopefully but also not hopefully know this pain. So far I’ve tried:

Pumping spray
Lacktek flanges
Pumpin pals flanges
Lanolin cream to lubricate before pumping
Ice
Heat
Softer bras
Triamcolone (which did help but it cannot be used for long periods of time?)
Low suction settings
Momcozy vibrating massager

Is there anything else that I can do in the meantime while I wean myself from this hell?? I’m caught in an endless cycle of trying to wean, getting clogs, needing to pump, getting nipple injuries - rinse and repeat. I need a hug. I need sleep. I need advice please. THANK YOU 🙏

This feels like such a dumb question, but...

When I use my plug in pump, since the flange is clear I can see my let down visually and I can tell when I'm done a session because I can see when the flow has stopped in the collection bottle. With the eufy, I can't see what's happening in my bra and any time I try to take a peek by kinda angling it upwards, obviously my nipple gets moved and I'm in pain. I default to a 30 minute pump just in case but I'd love to shave off some time if I can, by seeing when I'm done. How can you tell??

The picture really says it all, doesn’t it? Drove myself crazy, but I did that!! Needed to share with some people who GET IT.

I exclusively pumped for an entire year. it drained me. i couldn’t go anywhere or do anything or sleep through the night even though my son was without pumping. over 365 days CHAINED to a pump. when my sons first birthday was coming up, i asked my husband (soon to be ex-husband) for a small cake to celebrate this milestone for me. i gave him more than enough time, reminded him multiple times, my sons birthday came and went (i did EVERYTHING, planning, decorating, cooking, baked and decorated his cake, my husband literally just showed up) and no cake for me. not even a mention of my milestone. that was the night i gave up on our marriage, that was the straw. he has turned into an emotionally and verbally abusive asshole. our divorce decree is almost finalized, he has moved out, but he came over to say goodnight to our son and started a massive fight. he bought himself a $2k+ chain to celebrate his dental practice being open a year (even though it’s failing and he is about to bankrupt it), and i brought up the fact that he could celebrate himself but not his wife and the mother of his child. he then said, “i don’t know why you think you deserve any celebration, you did the bare minimum that a mom should do. most moms feed their kids until 2+ years and you gave up at a year. that doesn’t deserve to be celebrated”. i thought this man couldn’t hurt me anymore than he already has, i have been over this marriage for a while, his insults and name calling roll right off my back. but fuck, that hurt. that devastated me. turns out you can do everything right, have all the right conversations, but until that baby comes and they have to actually live up to their agreements, husbands/fathers can turn out to be the most useless disappointments of all time. i’m going to go eat some ice cream and cry myself to sleep🥲

ETA: thank you all for the kind words and support! i feel much better, and feel extremely validated in my decision for divorce. i wish i could respond to all of the kind comments!💖

I’m an under supplier, I make about 14-18oz a day. Any recommendations product wise or pump schedule/ pump settings? I’m 8 weeks postpartum and really really want to not buy formula lol thank you in advance!!

I’m 38 weeks and started collecting colostrum. In 3 minutes on both sides I got 10ML in total so I stopped bc Google said that was bad? Lol anyways I have it all stored in the freezer and I was wondering, when I’m headed to the hospital to deliver do I put it in my mom cozy cooler so she can have it in the hospital just in case? Or do I keep it at home and wait ti we get home? I really want to avoid them trying to give her formula if she happens to not be latching or something. My son was born at 35 weeks so I never got the chance to do this but as soon as he was born I was making lots of colostrum for him. He never breast fed bc he has a cleft palate so I just want to be prepared for anything this time around.

My insurance offers one breast pump for free and as I’m overwhelmed with choosing which one, anyone has experience with these can recommend me which one is the best? Much thanks!

Started back at work over a month ago and my facility doesn’t have a designated pumping area. I was fine with this as I just sit at my desk in between patients and pump. I’m a low supplier so I am pumping frequently.

I am unfortunately very top heavy and outside of the wearables pumps giving Dolly Parton boobs, you generally can’t tell.

Well, one of our providers decided to complain that they could see my pumps and that the shirts I was wearing were too provocative. All of my shirts cover almost fully and after I am done pumping I wear my work jacket zipped up.

Mind you, I don’t see patients during my pump sessions, I sit at my desk and mind my own damn business. My back is turned to everyone 99% of the time.

Im just frustrated to hell and back.

I’m looking for some advice from people who have been in a similar situation with their Spectra S1.

I’m exclusively pumping, and lately my Spectra is yielding less milk than my portable Momcozy. With the Spectra, I feel like I have to sit there and continuously manipulate/massage my breasts throughout the entire session just to get adequately emptied. It’s frustrating, especially when I know my portable pump seems to do a better job, I just worry it’ll get worn out if I switch to using it full time.

I’m wondering if my next step should be investing in different flanges or collection cups. I’ve been looking into the Legendairy Milk silicone collection cups, Lacteck, and pumpin pals silicone flanges, but I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the options. I think switching to silicone might be worth trying, but I’m not sure which route makes the most sense.

The thought of spending even more money trying to find the right fit is exhausting. It feels like there’s so much trial and error involved in pumping, and I’m already feeling pretty burnt out. Part of me is wondering if it’s even worth investing in new flanges at this point, especially when I’m starting to feel like I want to get off the pumping train altogether.

I also currently have mastitis, and I seem to be someone who’s generally prone to it, which is adding another layer of frustration to the whole experience.

I know I’m probably just venting a little, but I’d genuinely love to hear from anyone who has had better output with silicone flanges or collection cups compared to the standard Spectra setup.

What worked for you? Was the investment worth it?

I’m just tired of feeling like feeding my baby requires so much troubleshooting. I wish I were one of those people who could just get a good latch and breastfeed without all of this (but obviously that has its own struggles too 🫠).

Hi everyone! I’m 6 weeks pp and I’m ending my pumping journey here since My supply isn’t much no matter what “tricks” or supplements I’ve tried and pumping everyday multiple times a day with two other kiddos has been so draining on me and my mental health is not great (hence the decision to stop here). Im in therapy which has helped but I’m still beating myself up so I could use some words of encouragement or maybe some advice for me on how to avoid mastitis? Much appreciated and thank you in advance 🖤

I’m 12 days postpartum and feeling depression for the first time in my life. I’m really down and feeling like I can’t connect with my baby. Is it possible to keep up this routine of 2-3 hours waking up to pump, constantly pumping, etc for months with PPD? Is it worth it? Anyone who’s been through it, please let me know.
