I have a spectra at home and I really liked it but I hated having to be seated for the entire pumping session plus having to hold the flange to my breast. I always felt like as soon as I started pumping either the baby would start crying or the toddler needed something. I was so so close to giving up my breastfeeding journey just because it didn’t seem sustainable…that was until I came across wearable pumps. Literally a life saver. I can’t express how much easier everything is now that I am able to hold baby, run after the toddler all whilst still pumping. I was also able to build up my supply so much quicker using the Ella because again, I was able to pump more often!
I also really enjoy having the silicone milk storage containers, they were more handy than I expected as I now have an abundance of supply.
One thing I will say is, don’t bend over whilst pumping because the milk will come out the top of the pump, learn from my mistakes haha
Also I found the travel bag not so good? It is hard to hold as there is no handle, it also doesn’t have enough room to hold a bottle and it would be good if we could store the actual machine away from the wet pumping cups as I don’t want to damage the machines? The travel case is the only thing I don’t recommend!
