For those who are into pumping, you know how important a #breastpump is! During my first pregnancy, I used a non-hands-free pump, which made things challenging since I was juggling taking care of my baby, working, and driving. I often missed pumping sessions, dealt with clogged nipples, and even had mastitis with a high fever. Whenever there were issues, my milk supply would drop, and I didn’t have enough for my two girls, which forced me to supplement with formula.
When I got pregnant for the second time, I was so lucky to discover a hands-free pump, the “Easylife II” from Attitude Mom. This pump is truly hands-free—no cords to deal with! Pumping became a fun experience for me and changed everything.
Now I can pump while driving! As soon as I leave the house, I just put on the pump and keep pumping until I reach my destination. When I arrive, I pour the milk into a ziplock bag to save for the kids. If I need to pump during a patient visit, I can do that too since the pump is quiet.
Even when I take the kids to the zoo or do housework, I can pump right on schedule without missing any sessions. Another thing I love, which all pumping moms should know about, is power pumping (PP). It helps boost milk supply. If you don’t have a hands-free or wireless pump, you have to sit and waste a lot of time. But with a wireless pump, I can even do PP while driving!
Thanks to all this, during my second pregnancy, I was able to provide 100% breast milk for my baby without relying on any formula. It exceeded my expectations! Initially, I planned to breastfeed until my baby was one year old, but it ended up being longer than that. I no longer feel that pumping is a hassle.
