This is far-and-away the favorite among weeSpring moms. It's a workhorse: reliable, easy-to-use, and effective. Or as one mom put it, "This is the Volvo station wagon of breast pumps; it may be a bit big and heavy, but it always works when you need it." It comes built into its own bag, with space for all the requisite pump parts and a little cooler to keep milk fresh. Be sure to call your insurance company--it might be free!

The Catch: It is large, which can make commuting and/or traveling with it cumbersome.

    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

Everyone
  • Q: Is this easy to clean?

    asked by Jonathan S. - Mar 31, 2014

  • Not really--there are a ton of parts. That having been said, that would be the case with any pump you get.

    Vivian L. - Jun 16, 2016

  • Q: Is this pump powerful enough for exclusive pumping?

    asked by Darla B. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I would think so, I found it to do an excellent job while I was away from my 3 mo. old for a week.

    Mariah M. - Mar 24, 2014

  • My son was a preemie and would never latch and I exclusively pumped with this pump for 11 months.

    Mary K. - Mar 24, 2014

  • Yes, I had to pump exclusively for the first 2 months after my son was born because he had nursing issues... this pump is great!

    Cassandra E. - Mar 24, 2014

  • Yes, It is a strong working machine

    Stephanie D. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I pumped for twins for 3 months using this exclusively. It was a dream, and you can do other things while you are pumping too which is amazing. Game changer for me

    Melissa P. - Mar 24, 2014

  • It is but if you're going to be exclusively pumping, I'd look into the smaller one that is more portable. I forget the style but I remembered thinking it might have been nice to not be limited to a wall outlet. Not sure if you compromise power. This one will do the trick though!

    Julie R. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I pump with it 2-3x per day and feel like I get full feeds from it so would be inclined to say yes!

    Margo B. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I had to pump for the first four months (my son was a premie and had to be on a combo of breastmilk and formula until he was 4 months old) and then I pumped at work until he was a year. I used this pump at work but didn't like it nearly as much as the hospital grade one that I rented. It's powerful enough but the hospital grade ones are even stronger. I also had some supply issues though.

    Jennifer S. - Mar 24, 2014

  • Yes, definitely. It is a great pump. Plus it's nice that it comes in a bag that just looks like a tote for when you're transporting it back and forth if you're using it at work or traveling.

    Jessica S. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I would think so- it is pretty powerful. Although I have heard from friends that you may want to look into a hospital grade pump and try that as well.

    Erika T. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I didn't use it to pump exclusively but pumped 4-5x a day when working full time and it definitely held up!
