#BreastfeedingJourney Other #ElectricBreastPumps I've tried & did not like: 1. Lansinoh SignaturePro breast pump - tried multiple flange sizes & still had POOR suction, 2. Momcozy wearable breast pump - didn't cause milk boogers like the Willow 3.0 but cleaning the duckbill valve annoyed me.

#BreastfeedingJourney Okay, so on to #ElectricBreastPumps. Like I said, I read a bit about #Breastfeeding & pumping - but I'll be the first to say that pumping & reading about pumping are two different things. It was emotional & it felt foreign & I did it alone without having a real live person to lean on for support. Brace yourself for this process & if you can, have someone close for some support.

#BreastfeedingJourney When it comes to #ManualBreastPumps I use a Haakaa & the Elvie Curve. I like these because of their versatility & simplicity. I'll describe each in more detail later. I came to manual pumping after having issues with #ElectricBreastPumps & being treated for mastitis. I did some reading, but still didn't really feel prepared for pumping (which is why I'm writing the things I've learned).
