Silicone Breast Pump

Well let me start by saying that "This is not a manual breast pump." I feel that many are unsatisfied with this product, because they are expecting it to work as a substitute for a manual pump. It is not the same, and is not marketed as such. It's a milk collector. It helps collect your let down from the breast that your baby is not nursing from. So milk that would have been waisted is saved. Now with that being said, " I am not totally satisfied with the product." The suction hurts. More then just a little. I usually have to break the latch as I would if my baby had an improper latch. I do not have sensitive nipples. I'm use to suction. I pump most of the time, because my baby has a lip and tounge tie, so I didn't expect the feeling I got when I attached this product lol. You can adjust the suction by not squeezing it as hard, but then it won't stick for very long. Their is also the problem of the baby kicking it off. My baby doesn't move much during nursing. She's only 6 weeks old. The smallest touch of her foot will release the suction. I feel like I can't complain to much, because I got mine for free from my local wic office. It does catch my let down which is never really that much, but every drip counts. I save an ounce per feeding on my slacker boob that produces less then the breast my baby prefers nursing from, so that's good for me. An oz at every feeding equals an extra 8 oz a day that I would have other wise lost. My baby is newborn. She only sucks about 3 to 4 oz usually per feeding, so that 8oz is 2 extra feedings for her. Definitely worth the money compared to the haaka since it's cheaper, and in my case mine was free. I guess it does what it's supposed to do if you don't have a haakaa or can't get one as quickly as you may need it. I put this product second behind the haakaa. Only because it's uncomfortable and the suction breaks easily. I hope this review helps someone.

When I can get it to actually grip then it’s decent but it doesn’t last long. It pops right off. I have another different silicone pump that I use and easily express 5 oz on one side. It never comes off. It is very hard to use this pump.

So, i EBF. I leaked a lot so i decided to give it a go, after all the hype around silicon pumps. Boy it did not disappoint me! At first i used it for every feeding, and got at least an oz. I slowly weaned from the daytime feedings and I now aonly use it at night, when i leak the most. The suction was strong and took quite a bit to get used to, but not unbearable for me. It stays on well, unless full, and the strap is a nice addition. I am able to collect about 5 oz every day from night and morning feed. I also use it when baby sleeps longer and i am engorged and so not in the mood to get up and pump. If i attach and massage breast while full, i will easily ger 2 to 3 oz just from that. Also saved me with clogged ducts at least 3x so far when baby slept longer.Definitely recommend. My freezer is full of milk, without me even trying the least bit, other than remembering to put it on. Be careful, though, and use with caution, as i feel it can create oversupply.
I have been using it for 3 months, since week 2 pp. The leaking almost stopped, but i still collect almost the same amount, if not more sometimes. You definitely do not have to leak to use this product. Just make sure to apply correctly, centering nipple and areola and use breast compression to get the milk flowing.

Thanks Lansinoh for this great product!

The indentation for pouring milk grabs the skin causing pain the suction is terrible I’m a fourth time BF mom I love lansinoh but this product was a waste of money and painful to use

I bought this because I had surgery and needed something quickly as I had little warning and also needed it to be non electric my local Walmart didn’t have the regular hand pump by lansinoh which is what I prefer as a 4th time breastfeeding mom… the suction isn’t good the indentation for pouring milk into storage container grabbed the skin and causes slight pain and discomfort I really wish this would have worked better

I got this because I was in desperate need for another haakaa and my store didn’t have on in stock. I figured this would work just a great because it was right next to where the haakaas usually are and it’s got a similar design and the function is supposed to be the same. I was so disappointed. The suction is horrible and because of the small amount it holds it just didn’t sit right and couldn’t catch all of my letdown. It took forever to get on and I was so worried about my baby kicking it off (which he did end up doing and em ever had that happen with the haakaa) I really wanted to love this because this company hardly ever has anything for nursing moms that I haven’t loved but this I don’t like at all. I was very upset and it could be so wonderful if they make some changes to it. As it is now though it’s flimsy and no good.
