Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump, Hand Pump with Comfortable Flange, Includes 5oz Baby Bottle with Slow Flow Nipple, Breastfeeding Essentials

The media could not be loaded. Pretty handy! Especially for new mothers with leaky breasts. The title is a tad misleading, as it says "manual breast pump" but this is in fact NOT a breast pump. This is a collector.Basically, you use suction to collect the drips on the opposing breast when baby nurses (which would ordinarily otherwise be wasted by being soaked into a breast pad) that comes out with a milk "let down" when feeding your baby. The suction helps draw the drips out so you collect a bit more than you would if the breast were just sitting there leaking.Pros:*It has a very strong suction, and you just squeeze the whole thing to "activate" it*It's easy to pop it on there right after you put baby on the other side*it stays put due to suction and I can sort of prop it on baby's leg or hold it, etc.*I haven't needed the strap but it's handy to have around your neck JIC it were to lose suction, it would just hang off your neck instead of falling and spilling milk all over.*It's inexpensive*easy to clean: you pretty much just rinse it after use and let it air dry upside down. The entire unit is one continuous piece of soft silicone.*comes with a covering lid so you can keep the inside lint free if it's in a bag, or cover it if milk is in and you're setting it on the counter to come back to later.*has a suction cup base so you can adhere it to a countertop or other smooth surface so it won't tip over; and there's a little pull tab at the base to release the suction cup easily with no risk of spilling or sloshing the contents.*easy to remove from breast, and doesn't spill/slosh when doing so.Cons:*it takes practice to get the nipple positioned in the center of the suction area (however it seems to work just fine even if my nipple is pressed against the side).*the suction can pinch a little if it's not on there just right and you may need to pop it off and adjust a few times before it's comfortable.All in all very handy and well made and SUPER useful for collecting otherwise potentially wasted milk; esp when breasts are leaky in the first few weeks after delivery of baby. In one sitting, I collect an once or more of milk, simply from drips! Definitely get one even if you aren't sure you'll need it. It's cost efficient enough to be worth trying if you plan to bottle feed breast milk, or have a freezer stash.

Let me start off with saying I really don’t write product reviews. I know you probably see that all the time, but I’m serious. This manual hand pump is absolutely amazing. I bought this when I wound up with my baby in the ER and didn’t have a pump and got soooo engorged because LO was stressed out from being in the hospital and wouldn’t latch for more than 5 minutes. I wanted something easy to throw in my diaper bag in case something like that happens again! I have a slight oversupply of milk, nothing crazy, but I can usually get an extra 5-8oz a day. This manual pump empties me so well and so fast!! The flanges are way too big for me, so I did purchase additional flanges that are my size to pop in here and they work great to empty me. I actually think I might prefer this to my electric pumps! I got the Spectra through insurance and a Momcozy wearable from my baby shower and this hand pump empties me better than both of those. On my slacker side, I struggle to get 2oz with an electric pump. With this hand pump I can get 3-3.5oz from my slacker!! I love how strong the suction is and love how quick and easy it is to use. I have already started telling my friends with babies/friends who are pregnant that they need this pump. It’s also great because it fits my Evenflo wide neck bottles! So I can just screw one of those on to pump and now I have a bottle all done and ready. So so convenient - definitely get this!

This product is amazing. Very effective and helps me save milk while nursing. It’s comfortable and I love how you can adjust it your needs (options if comes with). Easy to use and clean!

I have this one as well as the older generation NatureBond one. In comparison, I prefer the NatureBond, however this one has some very nice upgrades that are worth mentioning.If you've never used a haakaa, they are miracle milk collectors that any leaky, breastfeeding mom should have (hence the still decent review despite the cons listed). I used these with both my babies and never had to use the awful hand or electric pump. I would also suggest buying a second haakaa if you like it and leak in between feedings or hate pumping as much as I did.Pros:- HANDS FREE! I cannot stress this enough to anyone that has never used one and is still stuck in a tiny, windowless room trying to pump. Pop it on, forget about it, get some stuff done. Put it on the other side while breastfeeding and double your freezer stash.- The lanyard is actually quite nice. I didn't think I'd really use it, but it's a great hands-free option when you're trying to collect your things (and baby!) and move to a different room. It's also saved me once or twice when the suction came loose and it fell off. I still lost some milk in the fall, but the whole thing didn't dump out since it only fell about 2in. Note: the newer NatureBond model has this upgrade as well.- the suction cup bottom is an amazing addition! I wish all of the haakaa brands would add this feature. Even if its not suctioned well (see "cons") the base is still wider than other brands and less likely to spill. Pro tip: You can suction the bottom to the included lid for a wider base if you're using it on a soft surface (couch, bed, etc) and can't suction it to anything.Cons:- the aforementioned suction bottom doesn't stick forever. I've still dumped it a few times thinking it was suctioned onto a hard surface, only to find the bottom had popped off in a manner of minutes.- the milk suction power is too strong. It's actually quite painful in comparison to the NatureBond brand that I have. There's a very small suction power window in between "this will pop of in a few seconds when you least expect it" and "I feel like I put my boobs in a vacuum sealer".- I don't really understand the lid feature on any of the haakaa brands... this one doesn't even fit that well and still leaks. The other brands at least come with a silicone stopper that works much, much better. Therefore, your only protection from accidently dumping your haakaa is the suction bottom that has a tendency to pop off spontaneously from certain surfaces.TL,DR: The NatureBond brand is better, but the suctioned bottom is a nice feature.
