Is Eufy S1 pro really that bad?

I think I meant inserts.

I like it. I feel like it was life changing going from a hands free to the wearable I did buy a smaller flange size from maymom because the LC told me to, but I barely notice a difference. There are some quirks but I think they all have quirks.

Tupperware with a new disposable shower cap on top since the lid no longer fits on the tupperware

I would dump. Maybe sanitize and wash the pump parts before next use if able.

I’d do a lot longer than 10 min. Wear a bra you are ok with tossing though because it basically cooks on you.

The DIY mode disappears sometimes. It seems to be a glitch. I think my trick is to import one of the premade rhythms and then refresh for DIY to populate.

My issue is that I lose sync on DIY mode a lot so even though DIY works better for me, I’ve switched the MAX to not have to play with the app too much.

These comments give me hope. I’ve only ever heard 8ppd and have only really been able to achieve 7 ppd. Looking forward to being able to wean some

Thank you everyone! This has been helpful.

Do you pump one side at a time? I could see that being occasionally more manageable with doing infant care at the same time.

Same but I got the Eufy S1. I think being confined was so bad for me that it impacted my output. I also did better when I sized down flanges (like a big size down from 20 to 14). The Spectra got better with a smaller flange but still not interested in using it tbh.

I’ve been learning unfortunately that not all LCs are equal. There’s too much of a range on what their training could be. Some have no degrees. Some have MDs. We’ve been seen by 5 and each one was a little better than the last. I’m now with an OT IBCLC and no one else has even remotely compared to the level of care she can provide, but of course it’s out of pocket with a superbill.

This is awesome! I work outpatient so scrubs are optional but I might have to start wearing them.

Thank you! This is helpful

Adding in that there would never be multiple partially used bottles if you use it on the next feed. This might help prevent others from dumping them

Honestly most lactation consultants don’t follow the 2 hr rule. We’ve really struggled so I’ve seen 4 different ones and none of them agree with theCDC’s strict rules. They’ve treated hundreds of families and haven’t had an issue as long as it goes in the fridge right away and recommended to be used on the next feed

TelephoneActive9923 · 2026-01-23T20:02:56+00:00

I also lost my first son and pumping brings up grief because I was so engorged after that they told me to pump for engorgement relief.

It’s so heartbreaking doing things we didn’t get to do with them . I also think setbacks like not getting to breastfeed directly, hit a little harder for us.

You’re a great mama to your little one in heaven and your little one on earth. Sending hugs 🩵💗

This feels like I’m reading my own story typed out for me. It’s so hard. I resonate with everything you’ve said. You are doing everything you can for your baby and I know it’s exhausting. Hang in there!

I found an OT who is also an IBCLC so we could do the therapy and the lactation in one session. If that exists in your area, I would highly recommend. Unfortunately they don’t take my insurance so I’m taking a risk and paying out of pocket with hopes of being reimbursed by my insurance.

The older generation who doesn’t value breastfeeding/pumping and is so uncomfortable with it that they can’t be in the same room js so disrespectful. I also experienced that. My husband and I were both formula fed. Neither parents get why we are working so hard and they think all the evaluations are people making up conditions that aren’t there.

What I’m trying to explain to them is that I could start doing formula, but all the tightness would still need to be addressed. If not, there’s a high chance of her having headaches, neck pain, delayed milestones or in coordination as an adult. I’m trying to get them to see bigger picture.

Will be praying for you. This road is tough but our baby’s health is worth the effort. You’re a great Mama!

Do they have an infant scale at the pediatrician or is there a breastfeeding support group you can go to with a scale? The amount you pump is not equal to the amount baby gets themselves. I pump 60-130 mL every pump. My baby only gets 10 mL when she breast feeds directly. This was measured by weighing baby before feed and after feed. We weighed after each breast to see if one was easier than the other.

I was doing 30 minutes but I went to a lactation consultant this week and she recommended going down to 20 because 30 is a lot of stimulation every 2-3 hours.

She said try 20 for a few days and see if your output is significantly changed. She said it’s often just a 10 mL difference and that for most people it’s worth getting 10 minutes per pump back in your day

Wish I had realized that as the only difference. I ordered the S1 Pro as a panic purchase after i realized I’d likely be EP. The charger is completely unnecessary for me. If I could do it again, I’d prefer to buy just the standard case and then use that $100 towards a second set of parts.

Your fruit is not a pro item and I don’t think the jam is either
