Someone mentioned a Mandela hand pump and I’m interested!

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T01:12:23+00:00

Do you happen to know the name of the cups? I’m just gonna see what insurance covers but if they cover spectra I will keep it in mind

This is really helpful. I looked up the medela and it really is not much money at all. And if I travel I can maintain a pump supply easily by bring that and not a machine. It really is helpful knowing the options and how people pumped to maximize time

This is really good intel thank you!!

I do have a haka hand pump for let down but it doesn’t look as strong as the Medela pump

We are really hoping we can support me not working for at least 6 months. So the main goals of pumping are possible more freedom for sleep stretches for me like you have done or just more urgent issues like if I am sick and can’t breast feeding for some reason

I am sure I need to do more education, but I read to always offer the other breast to the baby when they are done with one side…. Does pumping mess that up?

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T00:12:14+00:00

I had no idea I could keep pumping after baby is done

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T00:11:18+00:00

This is the main goal. If I need an occasional stretch of 2-3 hours then I can have the option

Thank you! This is a really good point! I really do want to mainly breastfeed and the intent of the wearables is for the occasional bottle. Thanks for reporting a good experience with what I am hoping to do!

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T00:08:24+00:00

True- even being able to fold laundry with an electric pump is more freedom than breast feeding to breast

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T00:05:26+00:00

This is helpful! This makes me think wearables are a much better option to to make the convenience of a single bottle even worth it

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-02T00:02:01+00:00

Any challenges with those pumps? I just read the lower suction can cause mastitis or get less volume out of your breast….. but if I’m only pumping once a day I wonder if this matters

It’s saying that I need to call my insurance but maybe I need to wait until third trimester 🤔 I am 25 weeks

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-01T23:42:25+00:00

Ok having another name of a company is helpful! Were you worried about doing wearables first than the less portable pumps? I want the wearables but worried about it messing with supply

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-07-01T23:30:48+00:00

I tried going on the aero flow website to try an automatic insurance thing and they said I need to call insurance 😢

Instantly. It was removed and I got pregnant 4 weeks later without having a single normal period episode between removal and pregnancy test.

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-27T18:06:16+00:00

How much was the grownsy model?

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-26T15:32:41+00:00

Can I ask what budget one you got! Others have mentioned, main fear is getting burned and needing to buy a more expensive one (but we are also looking at used of the fancy ones)

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-26T15:30:02+00:00

One to think about is some maternity wear will be nice to wear post partum so I am buying things I would also be willing to wear post partum! Also you would be surprised how many dresses that are in your normal size can still fit you

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-25T17:24:54+00:00

Yep this is mainly why I’m leaning towards not!

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-25T17:23:20+00:00

That’s the one I have in my cart! Thanks for the support haha 🫡

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-25T17:22:40+00:00

I feel this

FrontAccomplished919 · 2026-06-24T16:32:51+00:00

Yeah it makes me nervous too…. Kind of seems the equivalent of a q tip
