MomcozyM5 Hands-Free Wearable Breast Pump, Double-Sealed Flange for Baby-Like Comfort, 3 Modes & 9 Suction Levels, Portable Electric Pump – 24mm, 2-Pack Quill Gray

First time mom here (literally gave birth last Friday)I wasn’t collecting nor producing colostrum until I gave birth (nurses and lactation consultant helped get out a few drops so my baby can have her “first feed”). I was adamant on being able to breast feed/pump because honestly: it’s cheaper! I don’t have to go out and buy formula. But during my weekend with my baby, it HURT LIKE HELL to have her suckle on me. I would need frequent breaks and I ended up having to ask for formula in between breast feeding because I could not take it.I have the Motif Luna breast pump (someone gave it out for free) and it hurt just the same as my baby suckling. I did amazon a few different flanges and I felt like it didn’t make a difference.I was on the Babylist App and it said I could qualify for a free breast pump through my insurance. I selected this model just based off the reviews on the Babylist App. The M9 didn’t have as great as a review as the M5 so I went with this (newer doesn’t always mean better!) I didn’t qualify for the free insurance covered one, so I bought the M5 overnight shipping via Amazon here.I like how it only breaks down to 6 parts and that it comes with a nipple measure and different size flanges already included. Instructions says not to use dishwasher for it, but I have the Momcozy Kleanpal Bottle Washer and I don’t think it damaged it at all.It did leak my first time using it, but that was user error on my end (the 21mm flange wasn’t inserted all the way). I liked that it has massage, expression or combo settings. I personally use the lowest setting for now because I’m new, but hoping to work my way up. It is Day 4 with my newborn and I went from only a couple drops of colostrum to 5ml colostrum (using the Motif Luna pump).It is my first day using the M5 and I was able to collect 2oz of breast milk (using both machines for 15 mins) with very little to no pain. I am literally having tears of joy that I was able to find the right machine just last night!

I would 10000% recommend anyone breastfeeding to buy this. I bought the M9 pumps first... I loved them then I started to get tired of all the washing of the pump parts and started wishing I could get more milk storage per pump. For people who don't know this, your morning pump gives you the most milk!. I had to break up my sessions into 2, pump for 20 mins and empty the pumps, start again.Pros of the M9 mom cozy pumps: it is app connected, battery life last up to 2 days, it holds 5-6oz per pumps and comes with extra storage containers, it has many pump levels. it has what the m5 has plus more.Cons of M9: can spill milk when emptying, can spill milk if you don't realize the pump is full, lost of little parts to wash per pump session, bulky overall.Pros of the M5 mom cozy pumps: holds up to 7 oz per pump, secretion is more efficient and pumps more in less time than M9 pumps, less washable pump parts to wash, reduced spillage when emptying.Cons of M5: not app connected, needs to be charged 2ce a day (I pump 4x a day)Personally for me, switching to the M5 was the best decision for me. I love them and their efficiency. Prefer more milk per pump session!! I am not needing to pump as long as before.... Didn't really end up caring for the app feature with the M9, so I don't miss it. I manually track my sessions, and I know how much I pump each time. Choose what works for you! would recommend a milk pitcher as well to store your milk through the day!

I've been using this pump for a week now, and it is LOADS better than the Zomee Z2 (both flanges and hands-free versions) that I was using before. So far, the suction is great and this pump has been keeping up my milk supply with ease. I can stuff it in my bra and pump at the same time as I bottle-feed my newborn previously pumped milk, thereby saving on loads of time later.Its very low profile, its super easy to clean (remove the motor, then just clean the cups, suction parts, and the diaphragms every now and then. The motors charge pretty fast, they're usually ready for the next pumping session and last a good 4-5 sessions. I also love the actual physical button navigation. Love how its on top of the motors, so there is no way to accidentally hit a button or reset or shut it off like the Zomee Z2 (whose touch interfaced sucks and gets triggered ALL the time for me).We'll see how this pump holds up to a month of usage, but so far after a week of heavy everyday use, its a great pump!

I am exclusively breast-feeding and have a six-year-old son. I started off with a cheaper one. It was working really well however it was big and loud. I needed a portable pump so I could get my older son ready for school and drop him off and just be able to be hands-free for my infant. This was probably my fault for not measuring correctly, but the cheaper breast pump left me with blisters. it did not come with multiple size flanges. They are sold separately. I returned that pump scared to use it again after the blisters. I bought the mom cozy (even though I didn’t want to spend the money because I have an electric pump through insurance) it has made so much of a difference. I use it throughout the day and it will stay in place without me having to hold onto it because it’s small enough to fit right into your bra. The cheaper one was big and I often needed to hold onto it if I wanted to carry the baby or just move in general. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money on this pump. The picture posted was done in a 20 minute session of getting my older son ready for school. I also wore them to TJ Maxx and no one had a clue. : )
