Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector, Milk Saver with Spill-Resistant Stopper, Suction Base and Lanyard, 3.4 oz/100 mL

This manual pump has totally saved me from quitting (numerous times) while exclusively pumping. As a first time Mom of a 2.5 week old, feeding and pumping has unfortunately brought me a lot of stress. I am sharing this in my review in case it helps someone else.I have two medical grade automatic pumps with tubes; using them honestly makes me feel depressed. I tend to dwell in feelings of lost bodily autonomy while sitting and waiting for the 35 minute cycle on my other pumps to empty me while everything else in my life must wait. Disassembling them and cleaning them only to reuse a few hours later is just insult to injury.But with this pump, I love that I can stop/start with this pump and can even bring it on the go when I’m feeling engorged. It empties me way quicker and has really helped my supply. It is half the parts as my other pumps and much easier to clean.I love it so much that instead of constantly contemplating ending my pumping journey, I have now found myself considering buying a second of this pump just to keep in my car. Thank you Medela for this pump.

Alright, fellow milk-makers, let me tell you, I've got a whole parade of fancy, expensive, hospital-grade electric pumps sitting in my cabinet, collecting dust like they're competing for the "most neglected appliance" award. Why? Because I fell head over heels for the humble, mighty, and utterly fantastic **Medela manual breast pump**. This thing isn't just good; it's my *only* pump, and honestly, it's been a total game-changer.Seriously, who knew a little hand-powered contraption could outperform the big guns? This pump is ridiculously **easy to use** – no confusing settings, no tangled cords, just pure, unadulterated milk extraction magic. It's so intuitive, you could probably use it in your sleep (and let's be real, you probably will during those early morning feeds).But the real unsung hero? How gloriously **easy it is to clean!** No complex nooks and crannies for milk to hide in, just a few simple parts that rinse clean in a flash. My expensive electric pumps practically require an engineering degree and a full archaeological dig to properly sanitize, while this Medela manual is ready for action again in minutes.And for all my fellow mamas with unique needs, here's another bonus: **most universal flange inserts work great with it!** This was a huge win for comfort and efficiency, allowing me to customize my pumping experience without being tethered to proprietary parts.So, if you're drowning in expensive pumping gear and feeling overwhelmed, do yourself a favor and snag a Medela manual pump. It's affordable, efficient, and will probably become your favorite secret weapon against engorgement and low supply. It's truly the little pump that could!

I started to have clogged ducts that eventually and surely will become mastitis. I was also so pissed off at my momcozy S12 as it was leaking at bottom on milk collector cover while I was pumping only 1-2ml out!!! Seriously when you are trying to save every drop of that liquid gold, and the pump fails you, you'll understand the feeling of "crying over spilled milk." I went on reddit to read comments and someone suggested to try medela hand pump. Totally hands down for this awesome product. It fixes my clogged ducts and pulls quadruple amount of milk I thought I was able to pump, aka from 25ml to 100ml both boobs (I had c section, on 4th day of pumping journey). Pump and massage your boobs to max out guys! Highly recommended! Even more convenient when there are only 5 hard durable plastic parts to assemble instead of 10 soft flimsy parts that wear out in 3 uses.I'll buy the medela plug-in pump later when I produce more as I have all parts from my hospital to take home. Just gotta plug into the pump.

The media could not be loaded. First time mom of 2 months old here. I FEEL STUPID AND SCAMMED FOR buying Elvie electric pump + extra parts over a time to have more time between washing. I spent over $600 hoping this would make my pumping process easier. All the arrangements I was supposed to be able to do.. just caused me so much stress because I had to be careful so it doesn’t fall off my bra and at least once a day when I’ve been pumping for maximum time (40 minutes) I had less than an oz in both because I didn’t attach it properly or it slipped away somehow from my nipple. So my breast was still full and painful and I had to charge this devil device to pump again not to mention how annoying it was to have it on me. Yesterday I got super pissed because it happened again at a night time feeding (my son is too sleepy at night to breast feed him so I use bottle and pump in the meantime) and when I thought I was done my pump was empty and my breast sore and I just wanted to go back to sleep so I was like okay I’m done and ordered this cheap pump. I feel stupid I didn’t do it before… it’s a game changer. Yes you have to pump manually but idgaf. I can empty my breast in 10 minutes, no more soreness even tho it hurt my nipple at first but I got used to it already (in a less than 24h). It spilled on me once because I didn't expect the bottle to fill up so quickly. It's a quick action and quick washing, not the whole process of charging devices, washing many parts and turning on the application, which doesn't show the correct amount of milk anyway. I was a step away from giving up on pumping but I gave this device a chance and with a clear conscience I can say that operating this trivial invention is pure pleasure. At night it safes me so much time and is more effectively. I recommend it 100%.
