@@isabelfaith yes ! I had my daughter 5/20 and u milk came in Saturday morning . I’ve been using it since I got home late Saturday and it works soo good !! Doesn’t hurt my nipples at all . I got it through Medicaid, it did let come with the bag to pack everything in or the ice packet (I would have loved that) but I had a really cute bag that holds everything nicely so over all I’m happy with it . Easy to use ! Easy to clean ! Thanks for the video !
@@cheyennewebby3212 Yes!! I'm so happy for you! Congrats on your baby girl

Thank you, Very helpful.
Great Video! This is the pump I got for free through my insurance! I encourage new mommas to check if their insurance covers through aeroflow!
I just bought mine and I thought it was broken because of the noise it does, like it "pauses" when sucking lol comparing to my old medela swing... this video literally saved my breastpump because I was just sendind it back to the store thinkink it wasn't working well lol so thanks!!!
Really amazing video thank you.
Perfect review!

Love all of your reviews. THANK YOU from a confused FTM.
Thank you so much! I am so glad my reviews can help you
I have a spectra S2, momcozy and a pump in style. I had a pump in style 15 years ago with my daughter and let me just say they have definitely gone downhill. I like that it’s more portable, however, it’s insanely loud compared to my mom cozies or spectra. It’s also not nearly as effective at getting the milk out for me. It’s got it’s advantages but it’s definitely never going to be my primary pump.
This review was so helpful and helped me decide on which pump I wanted to buy. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad to hear this! You are very welcome! thank you for watching & commenting!
On point!
Thank you very ,informative
Great review! Just one question: does it all fit in the tote? I could fit in my advanced everything including the cooler, bra, bags, etc. This tote just seem so small. Thanks in advance.
Thank you sooooo much had no idea how to take the Breast shield connector apart. Very thorough review 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Such a good review. I have the medela in style pump. It’s great but I had the opportunity to get a newer one. It was between the this one and the spectra 2. I think I made the right choice! Thank you!!
Which one did you pick?
Hi LaShanda, I'm so happy to hear this! Hope you are enjoying your pump! Thank you for watching & for your feedback! I appreciate you XOXO! Best of luck on your pumping journey!
@@mayramoraza5487 the Medela. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one though. They’re both awesome brands. It just depends on the Mom and her boobs. They’re not one sized fits all. Lol. 😉
Great review
Thank you very much!
Can you walk around and pump. Is this pump portable? I'm wondering if you have to stay plugged in to use it.
Thank you for the review, i got milk in my pump do you know how to clean it
This was awesome video very well explained! so I just got my pump and wondering what parts I clean and how to clean it!? Do I clean the tubing? Can you do a video on that?
Thank you so much for watching & commenting! I am glad you enjoyed this video! you do not have to clean the tubing ever!
Is it portable or it has to be connected to the AC Adapter? thank you
After the pumping should I dry the connector ??? due to connector is wet i can’t use the connector whenever I need pumping again….
Perfect 👍🎉
Thank you so much!
Great review. How about the Ameda Mya? I heard that one is pretty good too with the massage function, if anyone have tried that one please let me know.. I'm debating in between these two. Thank you.
Thank you for this comprehensive review. How would I know whether or not the size shield is ideal or not?
You are welcome! Thank you for watching & commenting. You want to make sure the flange fits your nipple right inside of it and that it is able to slide your nipple in and out without causing any pain!
@@isabelfaith Thanks! It's been a few years since I've used one. Need some refreshers. : )
@@paologreen You are very welcome!
Hi thank you for making these reviews so helpful. Im a second time mom looking to decide between 3 pumps covered by my insurance. The motif Luna, lansinoh sig pro, or Madela max flow. Can you please tell me which of the 3 you prefer ? I love having max suction.
Can this setup pump directly into storage bags?
Very informative.I can’t decide between this one or the sonata.Have you tried the Sonata? If so which one would you recommend
Hi! Thank you for watching & commenting. I have never tried the Sonata, so sorry!!
I got this through my insurance and really wanted it to work. I figured I was using it wrong so went searching for videos for help. Unfortunately this pump is a no go for me, wish I never got it, which is really sad since I'm always on the go. You did a fantastic job describing this pump.
@@dittocloud720 I got mine through my insurance. Personally, feel like the suction is not the best compared to other ones I’ve used. But It is super easy to use and assemble. I know that others love it, but I feel like it doesn’t work for me.
Good luck!
@@dittocloud720 @Just Jamie i have this pump and like it, i don't really have to turn it up. The only thing is that, after a while you might get tired of being "plugged to the wall" and may start to want one of the cordless pumps that you can wear around the house
Hi thanks for the detailed review! Have you stopped using your manual pump like the Avent one you loved after getting electric pump?
You are so welcome! Once I began using electric pumps, manual pumps wouldn't drain me anymore. So unfortunately I had no choice but to stop using all my manual pumps :(
Excellent and straight to the point, and im excited because my insurance is sending me this one!!! (No one tells you that insurance covers breast pumps, I heard through word of mouth, and then got on the phone with my insurance customer service to get all the details on how to get one), anyway back to my review:
But the only thing lacking to be mentioned is - is there a separate nipple piece you can screw onto the bottle and feed straight from that same bottle you just pumped into, or do we have to pour that milk out into a separate nipple-bottle to accomplish that?
I have the same question!
They sell matching nipples separately.
@@athena608 Yeah, i realized long ago, found them, and ordered them
I'm due in August with my first baby and I want to breastfeed and I liked all the reviews I have seen about this pump so it's the one I chose. QUESTION: Do I have to take it to the hospital with me for when I meet with the lactation specialist? Everyone I've talked to told me yes because the hospital pumps suck.
I think you can do what you are most comfortable with. Some moms just start off latching & breastfeeding at the hospital. But if you know already that you want to pump from the start & use this pump, then you can definitely bring it with you & only use the pump that you are comfortable with from the beginning!
Terrible pump. I just called medela and had them exchange it to the pump in style advanced.
The suction sucks and I thought there was something wrong with me. I could only pump 2 oz at a time. I borrowed my sisters 5 year old advanced and BAM 6-7 oz almost every time. So if you are having any issues dont think its you definitely blame the pump. It has a bunch of 1 star reviews
Hospital pumps are the best
FTM-- Do you have to wear a pumping bra? Or will these stay on breast without? Thanks!
what is the difference between this pump and the medela pump in style hands free version?
Hi we just bought a Medela sonata, I bought what I thought was the connection to be able to pump into storage bags but it does not connect to mine. Do you know what piece I need?
Hi. I am actually unsure because I have never used that pump before! I am so sorry I cannot answer your question. :(
Hope you enjoy today's video! Thank you all for the continued support! XOXO
Amazing review and your voice sounds like if Doja Cat decided to be a CZcamsr instead, new mom subbed!
I don’t know what to do… how do i know for sure what suction force i would need
I am trying to figure out between Spectra S2 vs Medela pump in style max flow...which one is best for firs time mom? I will be using it only at home.
Spectra all the way.
Can the pump part be sterilized in a bottle sterilizer?
Hola! Question! Can i use those flanges with the medela pump in style?
Hi, so sorry, I am a little confused. This pump is the pump in style. Are you referring to a different pump made by Medela? From from my best knowledge & experience, most flanges made by Medela are interchangeable with all Medela pumps which is such a nice feature. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching & commenting :) Please reach out further if you need any help
Momcozy plz 🙏im considering buying itthe one with orange and white in it
Have you tried using other bottles to pump into?
Hi Sarah. I have not!
Hi! Do you know if there are any attachments that allow for the como tomo or glass Philips avent bottle to attach, I’m trying to avoid plastics
Hi I do not believe there are but I’m not 100% sure. So sorry I couldn’t answer for you
You can get nanobebe adaptors to allow you to pump into glass mason jars, but not sure about the brand you mentioned.
I got this for free ! Insurance covered it !
That's amazing! So happy to hear this! How are you liking the pump so far?
Can I use rechargeable batteries
Can you use Maymom or nenesupply flanges instead or use their inserts Medelas flanges?
Insurance usually covers this one for those who have it! :)
i ready buy that at target. how my insurance coverage that? can you let me know. pls
@@kimhoang1926 you would have to ask your on hun dr to write you a prescription to get the free breast pump with your health insurance
How do you clean the tube? I’m struggling with that some how.
You don’t have to clean the tube, unless for some reason milk got into it. They take forever to dry and can ruin the motor on your pump if water gets into your pump. Hope this helps!
Do you clean it before first use? And how would you clean the tubes between pumps?
Awesome review. Thanks!
Yes! It's always best to clean all your pumps before the first use. I have never cleaned my tubing for this pump. Milk should never get in them. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching & commenting
Thank u
You are most welcome!
Can you pump with just one?
How much can you increase the suction on this? I heard that if you need to exclusively pump depending on how your baby does with breast-feeding, you may need do use stronger suction eventually. I’m torn between the Spectra 1 which my sister recommends, however I used Madela pump in style years ago with my older daughter which I liked so I am leaning towards the Madela, but I just want to find out about how much suction you can get from it.
Anastasia so true. I needed more suction & this pump made it extremely difficult. I’m also looking at what else I can get to help
@@irenedelalastra4621 same here,I’m exclusively pumping and the suction has definitely gone down not as strong anymore ,I put it at the highest suction but it’s just not strong enough anymore ,sometimes it is and sometimes it’s not
I didn’t see the buttons 😂 I’ve be trying to clean this thing for hours now
can rechargeable batteries be used in this pump please?
Unfortunately not. Just double A batteries.
I’ve been trying to watch all your videos. I can’t choose the correct one. Can you please suggest the which one is best as a first time mom. My insurance covers
Motif Luna
Motif Duo
Spectra s2
Lansinoh SignaturePro
Medela
Spectra 9 plus double
Zomee Z2 Double Electric
Hi every pump is different for every woman. I personally loved the Spectra s2 & Medela. I would always suggest buying the hand pump version of 1 or 2 pumps you're interested in and seeing if you like their flanges & how they pump. It's so much cheaper & will give you an idea of how their electric pump will work. I hope this helps! Best of luck to you on your baby & your pumping journey!
I agree that it's up to the person. There's different opinions, attachment, perks.
If you have to get one pump to start -- I'm happy I went with a hospital/medical grade pump! The Spectra (I have the green one) has been perfect! No issues, easy to use, and It empties my boobs greatly ! Of course It is not hands free of course.
Manual Pump -- I have the Medela Harmony. It takes patience, but I get a good amount when I add heat or stimulation first.
For hands free, I just got the Medela Pump in Style with the cups, so no opinion yet.
Your insurance may also throw in free perks/replacement items so that may help you decide. For a first to get you started, I'm happy with a hospital grade one as my first
flange is upward not sideways just found out today. i struggled to get the damn nipple in and getting jt to sit right in it. i have size h on right and ddd left.
plus mine was smaller than 24 came with it it was 21mm so i would look at videos for it. now that i used the flange upwards like a 0 not the way she had it. and it went on easy peasy
I got this pump for free through insurance ! Minus some of the accessories I think. I hope it works for me.
I hope you enjoy it!
Hi, can you tell me how please?
@@yeraldyncaceres3792 did u end up liking this pump I’m planning to use the same maybe
@@lilmizfine24 it was very good, the suction is pretty intense in my opinion.. it was painful for me at the beginning and I had figure out the right phalange size. There are some features that others pump have that would make this pump better, but I would still recommend it
Got this pump though my insurance too, can't wait to receive & use.
This pump is good except for the power connector. It goes bad after time, you can get the same price at Walmart right now, for the wireless one.
I got mine free from my insurance and got none of those nice extras like more bottles, a bottle stand, a freezer pack, or a carrying bag
Thanks for letting us know
Did you get it from Aeroflow? This is the pump I want
Yes same here, it just depends on your insurance. Some insurance covers with the one with more parts and accessories, and some insurance doesn’t :)
I got mine through insurance. I was giving it at the hospital
My insurance offers the package she has for $70! What a steal. Check out all of their breast pump options before settling for the $0 options.
There’s water in my little tube thing. How can I get rid of it? Is it ok? Is the water getting in my milk?
Let you pump run for 5 or 10 min on max speed with the tubes and nothing else attached
Water will come out on it's own
does this have to stay plugged in? can I "charge" it and not use a battery pack or does something always have to be plugged into it?
Hi Christine, this has to be plugged into either the wall or into your battery pack to use it. Thank you for watching & commenting your questions.
I got this same pump with my insurance and did not get the extra equipment she has in this video, would have been nice tho
Out of all the pumps you've ever used, which one is your favorite?
Avent Hand pump & Medela Pump in Style/ Spectra s2 electric
@@isabelfaith thank you for replying. i'm currently looking at the medela pump in style as well
With this pump doesn’t it let you pump one breast at a time? It doesn’t seem like it from here I’m not seeing an extra hole on the connector pieces
Hi at 10:31 I show you how to make this pump a single electric pump so you can pump one breast at a time! Hope this answers your question. Thank you so much for watching & commenting
