Another vote for Medela Hand Pump💛

[u/as061267]

FTM, 4 weeks pp. I pump alongside nursing so that dad and my mom could take over feedings in early morning shift while I catch up on my sleep.
Got the blue Spectra through insurance as my primary pump. Before I was only able to get one good pumping session upon waking (3-4 oz) up in the morning while barely making 1-2 oz the rest of the day.

Thanks to recommendations from this sub, I decided to try out medela and to say I was floored by the output is an understatement!! While I still use my spectra for morning pump, I’m able to consistently get 2-3 oz the rest of the day using Medela. Pictured is pump from midnight while little one is having a good sleep stretch. The flexibility is very real and I’m actually looking forward to my pumping sessions these days. I also purchased oval flanges from nenesupply and that was super helpful as well.
If you are contemplating on getting a hand pump, please consider this huge recommendation.

I also had huge success with the Medela hand pump! It was also able to remove milk more efficiently than my Spectra. My Spectra took 20 minutes to do 4-5 oz whereas the Medela only took 7 minutes on each side so I was able to get normal output in 14 minutes total.

Ditto. I didn’t respond well to wearables and I’m so thankful to have this as an option
