How To Use Wearable Breast Pumps Properly
There are a few different types of wearable breast pumps available. We will discuss Freemie Liberty, Willow and AutoTime. All three pumps have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you are unsure of which to choose, read on to learn how to use each one properly. Hopefully this information will make your next pumping experience a smooth one. You can also read our detailed review of each model for more information.
Freemie Liberty
The Freemie Liberty is a portable and affordable breast pump. You’ll love its cord-free design and custom controls. But, you’ll also appreciate how easy it is to charge the battery. You can replace the duckbills or get a new bra if you are concerned about it being too costly. Here’s how you can use the Freemie Liberty!
First, choose the right size. The Freemie Liberty comes with two different flange sizes: 25mm and 28mm. You can also choose to purchase silicone inserts separately. However, you should keep in mind that Freemie Liberty cups do not work with all pumps, so if you want to use it with a different pump brand, you can find compatible silicone inserts separately.
Next, choose a setting that is right for your body type. This is important because breast pumps that come with free shipping are not suitable for all women. If you find that a certain pump has too much pressure, you can try fine-tuning the speed and vacuum levels to make it work with your body type. You can even use the pump while at work so you can still express milk. It can be taken with you on vacation.
Elvie
The Elvie wearable breast pumps might be the right choice for you if you want to make breastfeeding easier and more comfortable. The wireless, app-connected Elvie breast pump has all the features of a traditional pump but is hands-free and quiet. The Elvie pump can be recharged and comes with four bottles and two hubs. Designed to fit into your bra, it looks more feminine and well-endowed than ever. With its small lights and quiet milk-expressing noise, you won’t even realize you’re wearing a pump.
The Elvie wearable breast pumps comes with two nipple protectors, one for 24mm and one to 28mm. An additional 21mm shield is also available. They can be washed in the dishwasher. You can buy the Elvie Wearable Breast Pump and two extra shields for $30. You can choose which pump is best for you based on how much milk your breasts produce.
Willow
The Willow breast pump is one among many cordless, hands-free options for breastfeeding. It allows moms to breastfeed while they do other activities. Many moms like the hands-free operation of the Willow. They can pump while multitasking, and can even pump while doing other chores at home. This is a great benefit for parents who work from home. The Willow has been reported to increase milk production by mothers. These are some tips for getting the most out the Willow, regardless of whether you plan on using it for breastfeeding.
To begin using your wearable breast pump, insert your Flange Tunnel into the Willow. Your nipple should be flush to the flange tunnel. If it is not, your Flange is too small. To finish pumping, rotate your pump by tilting it away from your body until it sounds like a gulp. To make sure you’ve positioned the pump correctly, you can refer to the Willow’s user manual for instructions.
AutoTime
The AutoTime feature on wearable breast pumps is a great choice for breastfeeding your baby. The pump is small and almost invisible so it won’t disturb your baby’s sleep. With nine pumping and massage modes, you can find a perfect fit for you. It also has a memory feature that will save your preferences so you can use them again. You can choose from either a large or small size handpiece. And because it’s quiet, you don’t have to worry about disturbing anyone else in the room.
Wearable breast pumps are also very convenient. They don’t need an AC adapter to plug into the wall. They don’t require batteries so they can be worn discreetly in public. You can also use them to boost your milk supply while away from the baby. One thing to note, though, is that wearable breast pumps are more expensive than regular pumps. There are many benefits that make them worthwhile.
